Favorite memory? Well, this is a bit of a doozy, so sit back and relax on your favorite Landgrabb Industries chair. It started back in 2004, right before TS2 came out. I was only eight years old at the time. My mother and I spotted this game that was about creating little, virtual people and running their lives! I was excited from the get go. My first play, I accidentally killed Mortimer and Bella (I had not done the Newbie house tutorial) and reloaded. I noticed there were a lot of things I needed to learn. Tips would pop up left and right, and I read each of them. I read every item description, every little bit of info I could grab a hold of, and fell more and more in love. I created movie characters, family members, and random people. Countless hours were spent simming away on TS1 in a world that had already moved onto TS2. Thinking back, diving into the world of The Sims is my best memory. To this day, I've played, own, and still play all four. I have every expansion and stuff pack (Except Sweet Treats and Outdoor Retreat) and have no plans to ever stop playing. I love The Sims, and I hope it'll go on as long as possible!
