History of my Sim Interests
Oct. 3rd, 2017 10:54 amOriginally I started playing The Sims what seems a lifetime ago. I got my hands on the "The Sims Complete Collection" when it was on sale and the copyright information indicates that was somewhere around 2005, but I think it may have been a year after its release that I actually purchased it. I played it off and on, downloading custom content from places like TSR, Around the Sims, and a few others. I would play it until it crashed, then walk away from the game frustrated, feeling as if I had not had the chance to finish my simmy stories, only to come back around a couple of months later to start anew.
This went on for several years, and I never looked for solutions, or asked questions simply because I had not thought to even look into communities for that kind of information. Then one day, I found the Sims2 Double Deluxe version on sale, and purchased it even though I could not install it. My low-end system simply could not handle the graphics nor did it have enough memory. So it was a couple of years later that I finally managed to install it (suddenly having found it buried in the back of my desk drawer) but only after another failed sims1 session had crashed yet again. When the crashed happened, I said, "That's it, not playing sims1 anymore, oh wait!- I have sims2!!!! " This all happened during the summer of 2014.
