User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/How did you first wind up playing The Sims?/@comment-4823634-20120304222535

Well it started for me when I was just looking on Gamestop online for a new console game but ended up going to PC games and found out about The Sims. I couldn't get the first series because my computer would never run it, so I ended up getting The Sims 2. I was instantly hooked and played it every day. But this was around the time The Sims 3 came out so where I lived at The SIms 2 expansion packs were really no where to seen anymore. D: So, unfortunately I was stuck buying The Sims 3 and the expansions, but I didn't mind the price at all at first. But to really answer your question, its the comedy, stories of the pre-made characters, and the reality of creating a character based on yourself and destroying or making their lives better any way you want.
