TS1?

[Samantha]

Hey, all.

Any of you guys play TS1 and care to be nostalgic with me for a moment? I have the base game and Unleashed, and I'm considering buying the Complete Collection once I'm home for the summer, especially considering that my TS2 is messed up and I don't know how to fix it. I miss the soundtrack and the noises and the ominous phone calls (and also those phone calls that awarded you thousands of dollars for basically no reason). Plus it's so much more challenging than TS2 just to get funds and keep your Sims' needs up.

Meh. I really want to play again. Unfortunately I left all of my discs at home.

I loved The Sims! I remember I first played it at my (then) best friend's house and became completely besotted with our family. And promptly forgot to save. She had loads of the expansions, but I remember Makin' Magic the most clearly because it was always my favourite. I, personally, only own the base game. I think I've probably got it installed as well, because it takes up so little room and runs a treat.

My friend lent my the complete collection once and it was awesome. I gave it back when I got a new computer though, and now I don't have it. I was really considering getting it again because it was (for me) less about how everything looked and all about gameplay. I'm starting to actually miss it, thinking about it.

I used to play The Sims all of the time when I was a kid. I still to this day thank my Grandmother for buying that game so she could build houses, or otherwise I don't think I would have ever gotten into it. A while back I downloaded it illegally BOUGHT THE ENTIRE COLLECTION and played it, and I found it really hard just to keep their needs up. I actually got pretty bored of it really quickly, but it was nice to play for a bit and think, "Wow, I used to think this game was the coolest thing ever, and now compare it to The Sims 2 or The Sims 3."

If/when any of us get a TS1 game we should upload pictures from it onto a thread.

^ I'm totally going to spam with pictures.

I just bought a used copy of the Complete Collection for $35.00 off Amazon. It claims that it comes with the installation code, and I'll be absolutely pissed if that turns out untrue. I shipped it home so it'll be waiting for me there when I arrived in two weeks. Ay, now I've got to call and explain this to my mother...

This is the first Sims game that I've bought since I got Apartment Life my freshmen year of high school, four years ago. I'm giddily excited--like all those Christmases when I used to get a new EP.

When I used to play, I played the Masuga family in neighborhood 2 with the pink octagonal house. I remember that one day the house disappeared (I suspect someone bulldozed it by accident), and I was completely devastated. I loved that house for some reason.
