Ahhhah! I knew going through this thread would remind me of my very first sims.
I can't remember for Sims 1, but Sims 2...
My friend Melissa and I were having a sleepover the night I got Sims 2. So of course, my first sims were Melissa, Stephanie (my name), Jordan (My biggest crush), and Marcus. But at that time, we had absolutely no idea how to make self-sims, so they looked nothing like us! I remember that we didn't make them related, so we were trying to get Jordan to like me, and Marcus to like her.....but it backfired, and it ended up being the other way around. Oooohhh, nostalgic! I'm going to go back and make a sim Melissa....
