i had sims 1 when i was young, it was a bundle with Pets, Extra stuff, Vacation and another thing. the cd's are completely scratched etc
i have tried sims 2 and 3 last year but it just doesnt have the same feeling.

my sims were never happy. so when i played it again last year i gave them infinite money and everything they want.
i finaly managed to get a baby.

but after a while it really becomes a routine to keep the sims happy, and it gets boring.
i have never managed to keep the pets happy
