User blog comment:Lost Labyrinth/How did you first wind up playing The Sims?/@comment-173.88.39.209-20120325145133

For me, what got me into The Sims was a combination of my buddies, relatives, and youtube. I was first exposed to the Sims 2 on the original Xbox thanks to my cousin (although I had seen the original The Sims before), and I eventually bought the Sims 2 for the Gamecube, because I liked the gameplay of it. Eventually though the game had gotten tiresome as there were many limits (like the fire code) so I looked for alternative ideas. I then saw the PC version of The Sims 2 and how much more content it had over the console editions. I was hooked. I begged and begged to get the PC edition until one day my dad bought himself a laptop, which, by luck, came with a free game of his choice, He chose The Sims 2 remembering my begging, and gave the game to me. I was thrilled. even today I still have that game, and play it every now and again for the nostalgia. Although The Sims 3 has more customization, The Sims 2 has a place in my heart it the sequel can't replace.
