User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/How did you first wind up playing The Sims?/@comment-67.185.244.153-20120306050140

Awesome question. The first game series I really loved to play was the SimCity series, so buying The Sims back in 2001 with bonus money from my job at the time was a no-brainer. As a bit of solace to those on other threads who aren't happy with bugs and EPs with the current game in the series, I'll admit that at the moment I only own the original Sims Ultimate Collection. My computer at the time couldn't run Sims 2 according to the minimum requirements stated by EA, so I never bought it. I found this site because Sims 2 is still available in my area very inexpensively (IIRC one of the "deulxe" editions with an EP or 2) and since I have a newer computer I was thinking of finally picking it up.
