User blog comment:LostInRiverview/The Sims turns 12!/@comment-4129111-20120208015216

Before I got my first sims PC game, I was always looking for games on the internet about raising a family. Of course, when I asked anyone they told me to buy the Sims 2, and that it was amazing and so on. Me, being about nine/ten years old, didn't want to 'waste' my money on a computer game. Eventually I caved and bought it. And let me tell you, it was just as amazing as everyone had told me over and over. I was so freakishly excited when I heard about the Sims 3 coming out in 2009 I ran out and bought it the week it came out! So far, now that I've played each generation of the games, my favorites have to be The Sims: Livin' Large, The Sims 2: Night Life, and The Sims 3: Generations. I also loved Medieval, because I'm a history buff :3 Since the beginning of my simming experience, I've really gotten into designing my own clothes and even drawing blueprints for houses in my spare time (*cough* during class time). My sims also inspire me to write creative stories depicting their crazy lives :) Now, enough story telling...

Happy *belated* Birthday to The Sims!
