My Sims Story
I was first introduced to The Sims series back in 2006. I only had The Sims installed then. I loved playing it, but I liked building houses and decorating them a bit more than actual gameplay. For some reason, I was conviced that I had Vacation and Unleashed installed as well, even though I didn't. :D
A bit later (I don't remember correctly), I uninstalled The Sims and installed The Sims 2 (both of which weren't original games). Even though I liked The Sims 2 a lot, my slow computer couldn't handle those boring loading screens. It took up to 10 minutes to load something. Gameplay was just slow, and my legacy family was beginning to crash the game. :D I stopped playing The Sims 2 in 2010.
After that, I played The Sims Stories games on my brother's computer, and I joined The Sims Wiki, and got to know The Sims 3, and I refreshed my knowledge about The Sims 2. In 2011 and the beginning of 2012 I barely played any The Sims games.
After I got a new computer, with it came Windows 7. The un-original version I had simply didn't work with Windows 7, even though I tried my best to make it work. I deleted The Sims 2, and bought almost all The Sims 2 games from a website (original, of course :D). I loved it...
I admired The Sims 3 for some time before, and in November 2012 I signed in into a contest and won The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 Seasons! :D Although I was so confused at first, since I haven't played a brand new Sims game since 2007, I quickly learned to play it. Although it lacks a bit in certain areas, it's fun to play. I don't play it a lot now, though I don't really play any games now since I've been kind of busy.
Funny though, I would've never expected to own this many Sims games, but my wishes came true. :D

Expansion pack | Pros | Cons |
Undecided | I would love to have Open for Business because I think it allows players to do so much, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. | Once I get my hands on it, I'll fill out this section. |
9/10 | Playing the weather is very fun, and the new activites are very amusing. I love the new Gardening and Fishing features. The weather affects are really great. | It's a bit weird when it's dead cold on one lot, and sizzling hot on another. The Sims 2 doesn't have story progression, but still... I would've liked to see more types of fish. Also, I'm not so crazy about the snow levels. There are only 2, and you can play in snow in only one. |
8/10 | There are tons of new features here, but to sum it up: a huge neighbourhood, a variety of new interesting options and objects and witches! :D | Some apartments are really small, barely enough for 2 Sims. Plus, I hate how NPCs move in 10 seconds after I move my Sim in. |
7/10 | I like playing with hobbies and the new activites. The gameplay isn't so routine as it was before. The new talent badges are a nice addition, and I like NPC aging. Some of the Aspiration Benefits are awesome. | The secret hobby lots that came with the game aren't something special really. Also, with the Lifetime Aspiration Meter it's harder to make the normal one Perma Platinum. |
7/10 | This is a great expansion pack because it offers new venues, objects, aspirations, activities... and even vampires! :D I think the Downtown is cool too! | This expansion pack lacks a little in certain areas. The Vampires can get annoying with their needs. |
6/10 | Sims can now go to university! With a variety of new objects and neighbourhoods, this EP surely impressed me! And with lots of people in a dorm, anything can happen! | It takes too long to complete college. Often you'll see Sims just doing assignments. |
5/10 | Three new destinations offer tons of new activites. I love the Walk to lot interaction. | Where to begin? Okay.
1) The three destinations are too small. They have about 10 lots of which many are just hotels to stay in?
2) If you can buy the special objects at home, what's even the point of going to a vacation?
3) Vacations can be expensive.
4) There isn't a lot to play with in my opinion.
5) You saw it once, you saw it all. Sorry, BV. |
