Taking all four PC games into account plus the console exclusives which Sims game is the best?

Sims 1 was the very first PC game I ever owned, and I played the crap out of it. I played The Sims on PS2 and loved it for being the first Sims with fully 3D graphics. I bought the base game for Sims 2, but my computer didn't run it very well at the time. I never played much of Sims 3 at all.

I bought Sims 4 and have been playing it to death, but it does seem as if there's a real lack of stuff to do. There's parks without a lot of interactive stuff to click on, bars/night clubs, and restaurants (if you buy DLC) but not much else.

3 has the most shite with it and mods. By far the most entertaining to watch Robbaz play of his Sims videos.

If you aren't impregnating and killing off the town, you are playing it wrong.

I played some of 1 but the only ppl I know playing tSims are girls. My sister and twin sisters loved the shtt out of those games. Also bought my high school gf Sims 2 at launch. It might be the only game she played outside of Mario Party.

He's a master at that game.

The best was trapping all the sims on a boat party with food and watching them get enormously fat.

It is essentially playing doll house with computer people, but you can also get really creative with the homes you design and develop an attachment to your sims and their family.

I'm playing a second generation sim in Sims 4. He moved out of the house when he aged up to adult and his dad died. His little sister lived with him for awhile after their mom died, but eventually she would move out when he started dating this girl he knew since childhood. He got the girl pregnant before marriage, and she raised her son with her younger sister and her two elderly parents in their mansion. Eventually they got married and when she got pregnant again, she had triplet girls. He couldn't focus on his professional sports career and take care of the girls so he divorced her, and she moved back in with her sister and her first child.

He sold everything in his old house and moved into a small two bedroom apartment where he lives by himself. He gave his sister a key to his apartment, and she drops by almost every day and they talk about exercise while he runs on the treadmill before work.

Im really messing. Just because my life was filled with 3 little sisters playing Sims and the HS GF. So my thought of the tSims goes straight to a "chicks only game".

I loved that game. Still play it.

But it's usually just to be a sociopath. My Sims name is Sociopath Jim. He enjoys inviting people to his house and then burning it down. Or trapping them in the basement.

My sim enjoys woohooing one of the 6 girls he has locked in his basement.

When I was in college, we created my friend's roommate and had him go all over the neighborhood sleeping in other people's beds.

I played the living shite out of The Sims 1. I still think the Build Mode soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks ever.

As far as the OP goes: they all have their charm. 3 and 4 are my jamms when playing this series.

3 has more depth, 4 has better streamlining.

The Sims 2 will forever be my favorite but having said that The Sims 3 Seasons and University Life are the best expansions for the series as a whole.

I bought the Sims 1 complete collection about a year ago and played the shite out of it for a solid 3 months
