Hello, Hello! ![Smile]( "Smile")
Longtime player, since May 2000; my children were in diapers then! Now they are in their early Twenties! : o
Loved 1 & 2, couldn't get into 3 so much and 4 I haven't honestly 'tried'. I was invited to download/try the Create-a-Sim demo for 4 at some point and did make 1 Sim, but after hearing all the 'details via the grapevine' I didn't think I'd ever take to it like I have Sims 2. There is just 'something' about 2 that 'hooked me'; I find it very endearing. Aside from that, 2 has 'seen me' through some very difficult periods of life and it NEVER fails to make me smile. Unless it 'crashes', then I go from Happy to PO'ed in a millisecond ...haha
I've dabbled in Creating for The Sims since Sims 1; at the EOL of The Sims I was starting to 'hack objects' - what fun! Though I never got back into 'modding' as in Sims 1 with 2, I have done Recolors and such for 2, which I still enjoy doing from time to time.
In any case, it's great to be here Finally, I'm more of a Lurker type, but for some 'reason' I had the 'urge' to sign up today. I guess I wanted another 'avenue' for CONTACT with my Own Kind; my other 'avenue' being MTS. My hubby will NEVER understand me & my Sims . . . ever. He really does think I'm crazy when he hears me 'talking' to 'them' . . . I've told him over and over across the years that EVERYONE talks to their Sims! He thinks I'm lying. Oh well, he will never understand and he doesn't have to; there's quite a bit about him that I'll never understand either, so we're even.![Wink]( "Wink")
Oddly enough, when I initially purchased The Sims back in May 2000, I did so with my HUSBAND in mind! I read the box, thought he'd LOVE controlling 'little people', but when I got the game home he had no interest! : o
Over the years I've arrived at this thinking: You're either a 'Sims person' or you're not, and if you're not you most likely never will be.
I really cannot explain to my Husband WHY it's not 'boring' to make sure my 'fake people' use the toilet/eat/shower/go to work, etc. He (for some reason) doesn't grasp that the game is way MORE than just that 'needs' stuff.
SEE? He's NOT a 'Sims Person', but Thankfully I Am.![Wink]( "Wink")
Again, it's great to be here; Thanks for having me.![Smile]( "Smile")
