The last time The Sims as a series was anything worth playing and resembled a game instead of a DLC platform loosely shaped in the idea of a game. It had an open world, with no loading screens across the entire town. This helped the towns feel more like actual pockets of activity instead of weird disconnected spaces. Your Sims were more realistic and grounded; they could be goofy and cartoonish at times...but it wasn't moodswing city; rather a composite of all factors around them. I enjoyed many hours within the many towns, and even once had a sim bring a townie ghost back to life to court them! Another time I enacted a Plumbot invasion; replacing every townie with a plumbot. It was a game that thanks to things like Create a Style, allowed you to really enthusiastically decorate the entire town how you wanted! Shame about the launcher being built on wooden sticks and Internet Explorer, but the rest of it was great.

Use to play this game all the time when I was younger- many hours of shenanigans. 1 & 2 weren't half bad either. Would love to preserve this game so the EA gods can't take it off us and hide it in a dark corner with 1 & 2. So hard to play modern day without pulling out our old-ish tech :) I don't like Sims 4 as much as 3 but it's okay. I would really love to play it some more but I can't see it being released on Gog as EA loves their bloated EA play app.

I started with sims 1, which I love. But the announcement of the 3 at the time made me dream. And it didn't disappoint, given the possibilities it offered. Unfortunately, this came at the expense of numerous bugs that EA has never corrected to this day... Too ambitious? Perhaps. Even so. I like coming back to the game, making my house or the city the way I want. Having a mummy watching TV (yes, yes^^). Teenagers throwing eggs at houses, a sim coming home from work and discovering infidelity with the neighbor, friendships forming (or not). In short, it's full of possibilities, making it a little masterpiece to be preserved forever in drmfree. EA, if you still have any respect for your fans, please release Sims 1/2/3 on GOG. Maybe even GOG will be better than you at fixing the remaining bugs.
