My first encounter with the Sims franchise was when EA ported the original Sims to the consoles back in 2002-or-so. I actually wasn’t expecting to like the game, but it turned out to be an unexpected surprise, as I spent countless hours creating layouts of houses and building relationships with my fellow Sims. Ironically, even though I enjoyed my time with the Sims; I’ve stayed away from the franchise mostly out of happenstance: I didn’t have a powerful enough computer until a few months after Sims 2 came out, and the later console versions seemed like they were quick cash-ins to Sims 2 By the time the 3rd game came out, I was far enough removed from the franchise to simply skip it and move on.
