What was Your First Sims 2 Experience Like?
HappyThoughts:
I thought this post was too old, maybe old posts are like old people, if you stop for a moment nope I can't think of a point, I'm too undercaffenaited. I miss you granny. My first elder sim, my first elder death, from my first ever sim made family. Your gone but you'll live forever in my posts now.

I barely remember my first sims 2 experience. A friend of mine who lived in the same neighborhood as me at the time showed me the game. (The first one) by this point in time sims 2 was due out in about 3 months, so I had a little stint with TS1. Not too long, never got CC for it. After I got the sims 2, about 1 month or two after it came out, I just played it. I liked the game, never had a problem. I saw CC online, took my drastically dumber brain forever to figure it out. Eventually I did, but pretty much stayed exclusively to furnitures and such. My old computer could barely run the game as is. It wasn't really fun with that old computer, but it was playable. That was my first experience. But REALLY playing the game, that's a different story.
I put the game down for a couple years, as my family and I pretty much ran around the world, finally settling down here. Last summer I was looking through my closet for my simcity disc, which I put into storage the year before, and could only find the sims 2. My cousin was staying over for a few weeks that summer and pretty much told me "why not?" since I could not find my simcity disc.
I'll be honest here, I didn't really feel like picking it up after how long I haven't played it. And the only EP I had was OFB. All I remembered of the game was lag lag lag. But I also got a new computer for my birthday that year. Regardless, I was wondering if it was going to be worth the effort to install the game.
Eventually I did. We both played on and off, grabbing CC smarter than before. And with the new comp, everything ran flawlessly. It was a lot funner then when I played the first time, but I still sort of expected to drop the game as soon as my cousin left. But no.
This "second" first experience is really where I got hooked. I was more interested in the game than just seeing how many houses I could burn down. (I did that a lot when I was younger lol) I was truly hooked to the game. I grabbed CC everywhere, for everything. I just kept playing, I signed up here, played some more. And at this point, I was quite a bit older since the last time I picked up the game, and there was a big difference in the way I played it. And, I'm still hooked, one year on. I think it's awesome. :p

I remember getting it and trying to install it in my computer, but the thing was just so awful, that when I made a family (me, my mom, my sister, and my grandma) the loading screen from CAS to neighborhood froze up. We went out to dinner that night (it was my birthday) and it was still there XD Same thing happened with Sims 1 a couple times....
Anyway, then I'd play it at my grandma's house (she had just gotten a new computer, her first one ever) and I made a house....numerous houses.... of me and my then-crush. I have a bad habit of making multiple families of the same people. I think I had four or five versions of my and my boyfriend's sim running around my neighborhood O_o Anyway, back on track, I didn't have any CC but I remember zooming in and out and in and out and in and out just because I could XD Even going through the people a couple times because I could get that close to them!
No idea how I learned about CC, I think from downloading off the exchange since I didn't know about these wonderful sites that didn't thieve. None-the-less, I got some good stuff from there, uploaded my own stuff (I'M SORRY TO ALL CREATORS WHOSE WORK I USED WITHOUT CREDIT! :-[ I plead ignorance!) and that's really how I got hooked.

I actually remember my first sims 1 experience better than the sims 2. All I remember about my first experience with the sims 2 is that the very first family I made was mine(Me, parents, brother, and sister) and my brother was my very first(and only) sim I've raised from teens, to YA, to Adult. I also didin't realize I could download custom content for free until like 2 or 3 years after I started playing the sims. A FEW MONTHS AGO, I just discovered the reason some of my custom hairs and cltohes didint work was because I needed Meshes(and I've been downloading CC for like 3 years :-\ )

^ I'm with you there, I remember my sims 1 experience! My grandma played sims, and I'd seen my brother play it, and wanted to try... all that happened was pee on the front lawn, and a miserable baby. :/
