Sims Fanatic here! I've been in love with the sims from the very first one. My favorite sims game has to be the sims 2 "seasons". That add on in my opinion not only made the sims 2 unpredicatable, but extremely fun. I took a long break from the sims 3 early on when the game badly needed to be patched. Now it works brilliantly for me and I love all the new features. I love downloading from the Sims store, but I feel the actual items are too expensive and the custom ones rarely show up in my game. I would rather give my money to Tsr and have new items galore.
