I've only played with vampires. And than I think in Sims 2 I played with plant Sims. T.t which I really wish worked the same as they did than. And those wonderful lights that made sunlight inside so you didn't die on a cloudy day.

@Deaa: I don't care for mermaids. But I do like the rest of the pack. I like we can live on it but I also wished we could vacation on it.
@Shadami: I have the vampires pack for the Sims 4 but haven't done much with it yet XD

Plant Sims are nice and free though. :3 just have to debug the tree in. . . And the beans? I know you can get the beans now from rare plant packs... But I think that may be a seasons only pack.

As for vampires. It was the first pack I got because a friend got it in a bundle with the game for me. XD so right away I had vampires.
. . .

And that is why my story vamparents was born. My children wanted to play. They chose vampire Sims... And they couldn't pronounce it correctly and called them vamparents.

The weather was crappy today and I wasn't feeling great, so I literally played this game all day long. I have regrets cause my desk is not comfortable, but on the bright side my sims have a beautifully decorated home and everyone has a significant other now. lol

I've been playing The Sims since the original game came out. Someone told me, "You can set people on fire!" and I was sold.

My all-time favorite sims series is The Sims 2, because the expansions just worked so well. The one where you could become a business owner? They have never been able to make another business pack that runs so smoothly or gives you so many options. I loved seeing customers line up in my store, and having my sim's cash register skills level up. I liked how critics could rate me, and make or break my reputation. Restaurant dates were so fun then, too. You could propose marriage at the dinner table at a fancy restaurant! And apartments were way better than in The Sims 4. Sims 4 gives you specific apartment lots and you can't make your own. You can't even delete some of the traits on those lots. I miss being able to build my own apartment buildings. And the last Sims 2 expansion with the hobbies? SO GOOD. I really miss having my sims being able to build their own muscle cars. It's just a darn shame.

Yet...Sims 4 is a close second. Why? The inclusivity is unbeatable. Not only can you make trans sims without mods, but they even gave us Pride stuff this year: pride clothing, a pride flags, and unisex bathroom doors. THANK YOU! Also, the graphics are really beautiful. Sims 2 had better gardening, but it's still pretty good in 4. I like all the different recipes and cooking styles. I miss how Sims 2 had more TV stations if you got a satellite dish, but now we have video gaming and we can watch full-length sim-movies. lol So many cool festivals. Seasons has so much more to do than ever before.

I still miss things from the original Sims, though. That game had the best music by far. I burned Makin' Magic's "soundtrack" onto CD even. lol I miss how you had to trim hedges, water your plants, and feed your fish and clean their tanks. I miss how your stalker would leave you a black rose on your doorstep. I miss how with every career level gain, the kind of car you drove got nicer. Most of all, I miss how easy it was to murder sims. LOL!! I mean, that's what I signed up for! XD

Sims 3. Sims 3 is my least favorite. I thought the sims were so, so ugly. They looked cartoony and they always had double chins. There were honestly too many color/pattern options; it took real-world hours just to decorate a room or dress your sim (if you're into that kinda thing). It would take them all day to drive to work or whatever location you picked. Now, I did love how you could place any lot of any size just about anywhere, and I hate how limiting S4 is in that. Some of the expansions were incredible. I loved the way they did University. I loved World Adventures a lot, for all the crypt-crawling you get to do. So while this was my least favorite Sims game, I still really enjoyed it and have yet to uninstall it.

I'm making myself want to play more, but it's bedtime! Thanks for reading my late-night sleepy rambles. I will be back for this thread cause I love sims so much!

@Eldweena: Sims 2 is indeed the best sims. I have the whole collection on origin. At one point you could get the whole thing for free. I miss burglars and how you could get into a fight with them.

I do like in the Sims 4 how you can follow some careers. Even while I wished there where a bit more. Like in Get Famous you can only follow the acting career.

@vengeance: You can "get famous" from other careers, too! I have a 5-star celebrity writer. You just use the old careers rather than getting new versions of musicians, singers, and authors, which were already part of the game.

I heard Sims 2 was all free at some point, but I'd already bought them all long ago. I haven't played in ages, though. The computer with all my custom content on it is old and I had way too much stuff to transfer from one computer to another. Though I guess now they make thumb drives that can hold several gigs. I have it installed on my gaming computer but the resolution is weird now. I just sure miss the packs it came with.

I can't wait to see how the Sims 4 magic stuff will look. I kind of hope it comes with other supernatural stuff, too. I'd like to have a zombie sim. lol

Well the realm of magic trailer has been released. :D two world's, five lots.
Definitely witches and magic.
Possibly an alchemy skill? And a flying skill?
