Just bought the original sims.... again!!!!

[Eoin247]

I remember years ago when the sims first came out i used to play it all the time. It was (and is) a great and fun game and it's probably the main reason i started playing habbo. I lost the discs for the game over the years though.

So anyway i saw the entire collection of the sims 1 and expansions for sale for about 8 euros so i said "hell, why not?" and bought it. I'm now hooked again! I don't know why but something about the original game makes me more interested in it than the newer sims 2 and 3. I think it's the simplicity of it. The newer sims games can get very complicated.

Anyway, what do you guys think of the original sims?

I don't think I'd be able to go back since I've played 2 & 3. I think I would miss some features and switch back fairly quickly.

I thought that too, but after half an hour of playing i found that i was really enjoying myself. I'd say give it a go

aha I just installed the sims 2 again back onto my computer yesterday, I couldn't play the original sims i really don't like it.

Never played sims 1 but have played 2 and 3. My favourite is probably 3.

Yeah , i remember after i got the last expansion i was going to start playing "the sims online" , but then it seemingly disapeared from the limelight and i never got around to trying it out then.

Anybody ever play the sims online?

Yes! They made it free around the end but they discontinued it I think. I wish they'd make an online version again.

Sims 3 online would be legendary. Upon start up, you'd be assorted into a neighbourhood with others (like a WoW Realm or w/e) and you'd play with them until you wanted to start a new character. 1 week inactivity would make your Sim move out.

Oh, I can dream.

I'd definetaly try an online version of the sims whether it's the first, second or third sims.

Actualy, i remember now! I started playing habbo when i was looking around for something that was simular to the sims, except online. I joined the american hotel first and got banned for spamming using shortkeys . I didnt play habbo again for a year or so after that.

If they did this i'd probably want to be able to move around using arrow keys rather than point and click Or maybe in some way a combination of both?
