When's the last time you ran Sims 1?
DarkEmpress:
I installed the original on my ancient server a month or two ago, because my Sims 2 computer had blown up. The server's so antique that it will only play the original, once you install Livin' Large, it ceases to load. I was amused for all of 30 seconds, then I realized how badly it sucked. No cool downloads, no love bed, no growing up, I don't know how I was ever amused by that game.
Ness:
I played sims 1 on a hopelessly under-spec computer - everything crawled and everything was on the lowest graphics settings... I fired it up on the new one to test something for someone, and was amazed at how fast they walked, and the grass detail... however, I then tried to look at a building to somehow reprodruce it in sims 2 - the restriction to 4 viewing angles drove me nuts very quickly! Even though when I play I grab one angle and one zoom that shows me just about everything in the house and only zoom when something interesting is happening and I want to see the detail

Ah, you obviously didn't have the downloads I did then. :) I also had the program that grew them up, plus plenty of bonking animations - my victorian school for young ladies and gentlemen was a hotbed of vice, literally! ;) I loved the plants and greenery from Persimmon Grove, that's what I miss the most with sims2.
Shivani:
Not since several months or so before I got TS2. And at that, the only thing I really, really miss is the bed from 8DS with the custom "animations." Now if I could just have that plus Lizzlove's waterbed coding....
Of course, I had to rebuild my machine so many times in a short period of time before I finally threw up my hands and got all new components, it wasn't like I bothered to reinstall Sims 1 + all expacs. I think I would be bored senseless if I tried Sims 1 again.

Stiff walks, frozen faces, impossible to maintain relationships, etc. In my opinion, the only thing tolerable about TS1 anymore is its design aspect. If I enjoyed building houses and didn't have access to TS2, TS1 might give me a quick fix.
I fired it up for the first time in ages a couple weeks ago, just for kicks.
I never realized just how bad the graphics were. I saw the walking, and I laughed for about 3 minutes.
And all the Comic Sans. Oh my.
I probably would have played it for a few days though, because it was a pretty hilarious game. Big dramatic music started playing when a sim started a fire first thing. But yeah, I couldn't get a hang of the relationship crap, and there's NO THINKING CAP in this game. Too frustrating.
