Story:The Sims is a life-building simulation with emphasis on intimate details of individual characters rather than expansion of an entire society or civilization. You are in control of nearly every aspect of the lives of the individuals who make up your chosen population in the neighborhood. Characters are developed from the ground up and you infuse and mold them with personalities, looks, desires, moods, urges, living arrangements, career and personal choices, life styles, and reactions.Show more

I remember playing this game on my grandparents' computer while they were listening in the other room and commenting, "That music is nice." The game was lots of fun, and the music made it really special.
Wha-ah
ooh-ah
wa-ah-ah la-la
ooh-ah
wa-ah
lalala.....ooh-ah!
That little kid singing. I have told new generations of this and they don't believe me that the sims kids used to sing. There are videos of the newspaper girl whistling, but not the kid singing.
I also remember accidentally producing a baby on the front lawn while a couple neighbors just casually flirted with each other. Such a shock and the drama that ensued was icing on the cake.
Fireworks... You could just place them anywhere. Note: do not place them on a covered balcony! You will face the reaper, he will save your husband who will then die again trying to stamp out the fire instead of calling the fire department.
Astrology: making a character chose their personality based on astrology. This made for some surprising results after placing a new family on a lot, including unexpected pairings and spontaneous cat fights.
There are just so many memories and much entertainment from this classic!
I loved this game when I was a kid, it was so fun playing it for a couple hours every now and then. I think I mainly played it on the PS1 at the time but it was available for the PC as well and I think it was later also available on PS2 if I remember correctly. It seems after years of begging, EA has finally released a legacy version of it & 2 on Steam but who knows if they are really the same as the original versions of the game. Would be great if you guys could port the PS1 version to GOG or get your hands on the original PC release! I remember often accidentally setting the stove on fire and as I kid I couldn't always stop it in time so a character or two died in the learning process... hehe anyway it was a tonne of fun despite it being somewhat limited in some ways compared to the later games, Sims 1 still has it's charm. I honestly had settled into the belief that the only way I would ever get to play it again was if I got a PS1 console just to play the console version of the game. The problem with that is that it can be a wee bit of setup nowadays, as the PS1 was designed to work with CRT tvs... and also that the PS1 consoles probably won't work forever. Electronics have a life cycle, that's just how it is sadly. I miss the PS1 days in many ways. I don't miss dial up internet though. It's weird to remember how the Sims 1 use to look a lot like the sims 3 or 4 does now in graphical quality, minus some detail respectively but when you get use to LCD monitors and changes in video game mechanics & graphics, looking back changes things. I remember when the term retro meant arcade machine games and the 80's was only 20 years ago... weird times, weird times. If I remember correctly, every playthrough of Sims 1 for me including at least one interaction with a house robber. Only in the sims 1 did such a memory of burglars stick with me, did the Sims 2 & 3 not have house robbers? Hmm.
Me and my siblings spent so many hours with this gem, just making houses, families, and random outcomes for said families for years. There were numerous times were I would make houses, just because I could (and use a cheat code to generate more money easily) and even one time where my sister asked me to make a house for her and I had no problem doing that for her.
Not to mention, all the houses that my siblings made. Seriously, good times. It would be nice to play this game again, at some point in the future.
