When's the last time you ran Sims 1?

I loved the plants and greenery from Persimmon Grove, that's what I miss the most with sims2.
Me too - I think I had just about every download from there in my game! including the simslice chickens, the kiwis and the koi. Hard work, but your sims could be self sufficient with a good garden (unleashed & MM), a nectar press (MM), an easel or a workbench and a phone. I miss the nice phone calls too. "You have won some money etc" beats "are we still friends" hands down!

to satisfy my sim cravings when my husband was using the PC and I couldn't play TS2.
Similar story - my daughter got to the "good" PC first and I was reduced to the old Win98 PC that just about managed Sims1 + all expansions. I did like the control you have over what the Sims do with their lives. I do find all the aspirations a bit constricting. That was about a month ago.

I haven't booted up the Sims 1 since well before I got the Sims 2. I get tempted as it is still fully installed with the "Unleashed" disk inserted on my iMac...which I usually use for surfing and board posting. I could boot it up right now, if I wanted to.
I don't boot it up, mostly for what I would miss if I did. All of my houses in that game were custom made. I'm no great talent, but every brick means something to me because I did it myself. (Haven't started building in Sims 2, I use downloads.)
I really, really miss Persimmons Grove and Bunny Waffles for Sims 1. Every lot looked like a "masterpiece" , because those downloads made it so easy for a button pusher to create beauty.
I don't miss the Sims themselves because I never lost them. Anybody who was anybody I recreated in Sims 2 as teenagers and they are my game base characters. I don't imagine I would miss the awkward game play....but I do miss my beautiful lots.

Oh man..I uninstalled TS1 a teeny bit before TS2 came out. I don't really miss it..just miss some of the things they "had" via EPs and downloads that aren't yet there for TS2 yet. But I could never go back..my sims with genetics and distinct features and "feelings" are just so much better. The fact that they have children by actually going through a pregnancy (in a computer sense of course lol)... they're not immortal so doing stuff in their lives count lol...I'm way too attached to pixels on a screen lol
My last neighborhood I played in TS1 though..I was already ahead of TS2 in trying to create the generations and what not even before TS2 was announced. I was killing off sims and imagining they had died of "old age" and killing off the kids and recreating them as adults lol
I even had that program that allowed you to turn kids into teens and then adults but then I'd get mad b/c all of the kids I "aged" had the same crappy randomly generated head and what not lol

I hadn't played Sims 1 for about 2 years before I got Sims 2, so probably 3 years.
It got too messy, I was a downloadaholic and not too organized with it, I had so many conflicts and too much stuff to sift through. It took almost an hour for my game to load and it just became unenjoyable to play.
With Sims 2, I am trying to be more picky with what I download. Although I'm certainly not organized with it, still. :-[
