When's the last time you ran Sims 1?
aussieone:
A soon as the Sims 2 came out I couldn't uninstall the Sims 1 quick enough!! ;D
Diala:
I am one of those Sims "newbies" who started on Sims 2. I couldn't even play Sims 1 on my old computers even if I wanted to, because they were under-spec. One day I got Sims 1 and a few of the expansion collections, just for kicks... plus I could install them on my laptop. I figured it'd be like Sims 2, except with crappier graphics (which is to be expected, obviously). However, how wrong I was...
It took forever to load it up, especially the first time since it had to load ALL that extra crap that came with the expansions. I immediately went to make my own Sims, and I was surprised that I only had TWO options as far as appearance goes: A face and a body! That immediately turned me off from it, since what appeals to me in TS2 is Sim customization. I played it anyway, with some guy I randomly made, and it was awfully boring... and I don't know why, to tell you the truth. It just seemed dull compared to Sims 2.
At least it gives you a sense of thankfulness for Sims 2's many, many options.

Once I installed sims2, I thought I would leave sims1 on for sentimental reasons, thought I might pop back from time to time. Nope. Never did.
I think I'd be very surprised if I booted that game again, I've been spoilt with sims2 as well.

The morning of Sept 17th 2004 was the last time The Sims was played, and it was uninstalled around March this year I think. It may be re-installed some time in the future just for nostalgia's sake, but that's not written in stone.

I last played TS1 on the Sunday Evening before TS2 came out. So that would be about, what, Sept. 12th or so? Anyway, I wanted to tie up some loose ends with my storylines and get them ready to "graduate" to TS2. I had created similar sims in Body Shop so they could continue thier lives on the new game. Unfortunately, only one of those favorite sims have survived this year with all the clean reinstall's I've had to do. :(
You know what I miss most about TS1? I had a historical neighborhood with a slew of downloads from "Hooty Holler" and "The Historical Sim." As far as I know, those two sites have never released any TS2 content, so my Sims must remain firmly in the 21st Century. Bummer for me, I liked the challenge of keeping my sims happy while they had to use outhouses and cook in historically-accurate outdoor kitchens.
