I remember when I got The Sims (first game) all those years back. Mostly I cheated money into the game and built awesome mansions, using it mostly as a house designing program.
I have most of the expansion packs for The Sims 3 now (I skipped the second game, and see no reason to go back and try it after having played the third). I have a save that's been going on for a long time (it's several games actually, compliments of using the clipboard to move to different towns), and I've been making the sims I like immortal when they become adults (LTP reward for 70,000 points). The load times can be crippling to someone like me using 5400 RPM Hard Drives with all that content, but I do love the game to bits. I've actually been using the same house almost since the beginning, adding to it here, redoing the floorplan there. Actually getting to the point where I am having some ideas for totally new houses, so I expect I'll buy up some more properties, and maybe make some vacation homes in China and so on.
Not going to lie, I also have a LOT of fun picking out outfits.
