What other Sims games do you play?

I started playing sims just as sims 2 came out. My daughter asked for sims 1 for Christmas so we bought it for her, she didn't play for long but I got hooked! Played 1 for ages before I bought 2. I have 3 but I'm still learning how to play it, I find it really dark. What I don't like is the FB version of sims!

I did have a go at Sim Social - but I did not really like it. No matter what they do, they cannot hide the fact that the gameplay is designed around - making money. I realise I have spent a small fortune on sims games, but they feel more permanent. I have my disc etc.

I think that is why I don't buy from the EA store. Look at all those poor sods who have the Downloaded Store Edition of TS2. You uninstall and lose the backup - you lose the game.

You'll never find ME playing Sims Social or ANY online games. I have played some online games, such as Silk Road, for a while but that's how I found out it's not my thing.

I take a very long time to learn, and by the time I'm beginning to get it, I've been killed a million times by the first kid that just came online... No thank you.

I have every TS1 EP except for Vacations. I absolutely loved Makin' Magic. I also had SimCity4 which was fun for a while, but other than those and TS2/3, I'm not much of a gamer.

I played the Sims 1 quite a bit. Sims Online, very briefly, when it had a free trial, right before it shut down. I played all three of the Sims Stories Series. I tried to play SimCity 4 but it didn't hold my interest...

I played SimAnt and SimEarth way back in the day.

I think that about covers it.

Sim Tower was also a pretty awesome game.

Yup, I liked Sim Tower! But Sim Earth was cool, too. I wish someone would make somewhat more modern versions of those, that would look and run well on today's systems.

Me, I started with TS1 - got it for free with a computer and was instantly hooked. My last EP was Unleashed, though, I didn't really like the later ones. I also briefly played Sims Online (also with a free trial), but it didn't hold my interest for very long. I've played Life Stories (got it for my notebook), and I've recently started playing SimCity 4, mostly because I want to learn how to make my own terrains, but I do like the whole city building, too. (I used to like playing Caesar III back in the day, where you build cities in the Roman empire. Sometimes I think plagues and invading German hordes were easier to deal with than those pesky advisers in SC4... )

I also played SimCity 4 and I like that you can design new terrains for TS2 with it. When I got SimCity 4 as a part of The Sim City Box Collection I also got the expansion (Rush Hour) and the spiritual sequel and it's expansion: SimCity Societies. Do yourself a favor and never play that game.

BO - I agree that Sim Earth and Sim Tower should be remade for today's day and age. Although Tiny Tower is kinda close.

Actually, SimCity Societies is heaps of fun for me, as long as I don't kid myself into expecting a SimCity experience. I'm currently trying to build a city that's based on spookiness: haunted houses and graveyards everywhere...
