Hello, I've played Sims 1-3 since I was a child and have put an unspeakable number of hours into all of them, but it never occurred to me to join any Sims-related communities until now. It is and has always been a great source of escapism for me.
I had to take a break due to becoming computerless and very busy for a while, but now that I've got access to the game again, I've got the simming bug again and am planning and hoping to successfully execute a "legacy" for the first time ever. I put that in quotes because it's not really a legacy so much as it is a story about a sim whose bloodline I hope to continue for ten generations, and I'll be taking a lot of liberties with the traditional legacy rules.
I've also only ever played with the base game, so I'm hoping to introduce expansion packs into my gaming experience soon, as well.
