I know I'm too old to play the Sims, but I don't care. I don't play the latest one (Sims 4), it looks a bit lame without expansion packs and no open world. I played Sims 3 but it lagged terribly. I always go back to Sims 2. I create custom characters and sometimes fall in love with a few of the male ones.What an embarrassing confession! I'm pathetic! ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/laugh.gif) Anyway, do you play? Or is there some other game you enjoy playing but are too embarrassed to tell anyone?! IP: Logged |

I have Sims 3 and all expansion packs. I haven't experienced any problems with it or crashing. Maybe you should update your Patch.IP: Logged |

I think it's because my worlds (which I made) are absolutely huge and probaby have routing problems. Actually the other worlds I play are fine. I still prefer Sims 2 though, I couldn't get attached the pudding faces in Sims 3. ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/biggrin.gif) IP: Logged |

The graphics of 3 are better. With a few mods, it's quite realistic looking.Besides, I love the Supernatural..so that Exp pack is my fav not to mention to be able to travel to Egypt, France or China. Def prefer 3 to 2. That's just my preference..not like I've actually played in a long while. IP: Logged |

Thankyou for helping me remember that ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/smile.gif) IP: Logged |

I really got into Sims 3 for the "create a world" thing and building (built lots of stuff, houses as well as community lots). I also enjoyed playing the Ambitions EP with the careers. There was a modder called Twallan who made tons of gameplay mods which improved the game no end, but he retired and abandoned his projects before the end of the Sims 3 updates, which meant I couldn't really play my game unless I removed all his mods. I tried to get into the actual sims in Sims 3 but they just didn't grab me and I never got past 2nd generation. I think with Sims 2 I started playing the game late (when all the EP's had been released and there a lot of custom content and mods made by other people), so I had lots to do from the word go (and had a lot of fun with it). Sorry that was a long-winded post! IP: Logged |

I've played Sims for years! I have the newest version - it is Sims 4? It's good fun - I like decorating and building houses. I don't play that often, probably about once a month. I'm way more addicted to World of Warcraft which I play daily. IP: Logged |

lol. I never played WoW but I played Rift, Archeage and Everquest II a fair bit. Actually I'm a shameless Steam-aholic. Summer sale on now too. That won't do my addiction any good. ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/ballface.gif) Funnily enough as soon as I started talking about the Sims, my Sims 2 game totally exploded today. Hood corruption you know. Oh well, it lasted a good 4 years. IP: Logged |

I was just posting my hood explosion experience on a well known simming forum.Boy there are some seriously anally retentive people over there. They're more robotic than their sims! IP: Logged |

It's not boring AG if you add mods. Nudge nudge, wink wink. ![](http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/wink.gif) IP: Logged |

Not to mention the first Sims is lame. Start with Sims 2, and skip Sims 3 if you hate the dough faces, but if you wanna be "in" get Sims 4. I play The Sims 4, I used to play The Sims 2. Good games. Sims 4 has good graphics but sometimes feels "missing". They're improving on it though with more and more updates! IP: Logged |

I've played all of them. Still love them even though sims 4 is not as great as I wish but still worth playing. I remember once when I was in the 11th grade my boyfriend dumped me and all I could think was "Now I get to play sims 3 all weekend!" The heartbreak set in a few days later though...lolIP: Logged |

The only time I've played Sims, I always made the most huge and posh manor one could find, before making a family of like 2 - 6, using cheats all the way or killing them in different ways I remember, in the xbox version, that you could grow a mutant plant that eventually ate my maid Dark timesIP: Logged |

Play all four series, every couple of months. Liked the 'story' neighbourhoods from 2, all the expanded game play in 3 and the clean cut appearance or graphics in 4. Still play all three and medieval sometimes, though that one gets rather repetitive quickly. IP: Logged |

I was up for 24 hours, was falling asleep in the shower, and fell asleep on the couch, only to wake up over an hour later. I had this thread open earlier, because I follow someone who has been playing the Sims 4, but I've never played any of them. I have a bunch of free games, but have wanted things I can't get yet, like Cult of the Lamb. I think I need a switch for that, too, which is just not happening yet, if ever. I still need to get a controller for Little Nightmares. IP: Logged |
