Why Did You Get The Sims 2 And +

[saowens]

First off let me say that I had no interest in sims at all. I had no plans to buy it or play it.

Well.... a friend of mine purchased the sims 2 for his girl friend and he could not get it to work in his computer. I told him to let me take a look at it to see if it would play in my computer. To find out if it was a defective game or a problem with his pc.
It turns out that he bought the dvd version and he didn't have a dvd drive in his pc. I did have a dvd drive and the game played fine for me. It was a few months before he was able to put a dvd drive in his pc so I just " held on " to his game for him during that time.

By the time he put in the dvd drive and wanted the game back I had purchased a couple of expansion packs and discovered all of the down loadable custom content. This was about three years ago and now I have all of the expansion packs and a couple of the stuff packs. 

The rest is history as they say...

I also had no interest of getting sims 2. In fact, i wanted sims 1 back! (i was really behind)

But my bro got the sims 2 deluxe and sim city deluxe edition with his vista pc, he didnt play them so have gave them to me 

Exept now he has sims 2 deluxe back, so i downloaded a thing to make it not use a CD.


I still have the sim city though MOUWAHAHAHAHA!

I got The Sims 2 because the graphics just looked so much better than Sims 1. Also, I had only owned Sims 1 for about 6 months before Sims 2 came out and I had no expansions, which made switching easy since I wasn't really attached to Sims 1. I think the switch to Sim 3 will be much more difficult.

My daughter came home from school with a friend who brought a game called The Sims and they were playing it on our computer in the den.  I watched for a while and it looked like fun, so we bought it.  Then we bought Livin' Large.  I played it for a while, but got bored of it.  A few years later, my daughter told me that EA/Maxis was making a Sims 2 and I responded, "Really?  hmmm, that's nice." and wasn't interested -- until just before it was released.  She was at a website looking at all the preview pics and insisted I look at them too.  Well, it looked soooo much better than the original sims and it said that EA was releasing The Sims 2 in September (my daughter's birthday is also in September) so I thought, "It would make a great birthday present for her."

Bought it for her -- ended up playing it more than she did, lol!  I only have s2, Uni, N/L, OFB, Pets (took that back off -- can't stand that ep), and Seasons though.  Well, I also have FFS, G/L and Celebrations but that's it.  I don't have any of the newer ones.

Oh, so people don't think I'm cruel, I bought my own -- so I've bought all the games twice.  Once for me and once for my daughter.    But I actually play the game.  She hasn't played it in years.  I bought all of them for her and she's only installed s2, Uni and Nightlife, the rest are still in unopened cases. 

Oh, and Seasons is my favorite ep too.
