A Trip Down Sim Lane

While doing a little closet clean-up a few hours ago, I stumbled upon a dusty paper bag which I haven’t seen in forever. I looked inside and the sight almost made me pee my pants.

It’s my old Sim games! (ignore the Sims 2 box..) These really bring back some fond childhood memories. Memories of hogging the computer all day and sneaking on to it even after midnight when mum was asleep. I thank God for the person who introduced me to this wondrous game. My life wouldn’t be the same without it..

I had all the expansion packs for the Sims and I was pretty devastated when I lost the Sims Unleashed disk while moving to a new house. When I bought the Sims 2, my computer at the time couldn’t handle the huge space it took up. Everything was so slow and I really couldn’t enjoy the game. So I had to wait ‘til we got a new computer to actually start playing it. Yes, sad, I know.

In the same paper bag, I found other sim games that I don’t even remember playing like Sim City 2000, Sim Farm, and Sims Golf:

It surprises me how much of my life was spent playing this game. I’m still a loyal fan and got the Sims 3 a few days ago! Watch out for more sims-related posts and more screenshots.

I’ve only played Sims once and that was on Playstation. xD Everyone seems to have purchased Sims 3. Makes me want to purchase one, too.

I can’t wait to see some screen shots!

Oh! I’ve decided I’ll give EE a try because FanUpdate is sorta failing me right now. :P I hope it won’t be difficult for me to customize templates and whatnot.

Oh my god yes - I was SO excited to buy the add-on packs. I probably spent $100 in highschool on those games!

Oh no. I don’t get why it keeps on doing that. I’m so sorry I never logged in to approve until today. That’s another reason why I’ve got to switch!

Also, I don’t know if you had a chance to read my blog, but I’ve decided to use Serendipity instead of EE. I found that Serendipity was much easier looking and the coding is beyond easy with help (no lie).

So, hopefully when I set that up on my domain, it won’t keep on blocking your comments!
