Very true! As I was teaching one of my friends to play during a sleepover, she kept leaving the computer to watch TV on the other side of the room and I was like, "PAUSE it if you're gonna walk away! Do you want them to DIE?" I doubted they would die if she left for two minutes, but I wanted to get it in her system in case she, I don't know, left it playing for two hours while she helped her parents in their restaraunt. |

Very true. On my computer (that I share with my sister) I have my neighborhood(Strangetown), she has hers(Veronaville), and there is a "guest neighborhood"(Pleasantview) for our friends to screw up as they please. And we have custom hoods that are strictly our own. |

So I made my first family and so I moved them in a tiny little house with two rooms and there was six of them, so that sucked xD but anyways there was a baby in the family and I didn't know how to bring him inside the house cause it had a staircase they had to walk up to get inside. So guess what? I left the baby outside! I had no clue how to get him inside the house so I moved all the baby stuff outside and they ended pretty much living outside until I finally learned...oh wait why don't I pick him up, then walk inside. Lol I felt so stupid. |

This applies to TS1, not TS2, but whatever. I thought a goblin was trying to eat my baby when the baby turned into a child. |

I remember leaving my Legacy for two hours to go shopping, but I forgot to press the pause button... I come back to the game with weeds and puddles everywhere, and with every single Sim in my family dead. >.> |

This also applies to TS1, not TS2. I was playing TS1 when I was about 10. I used to do this to get rid of unwanted sims:  Yeah, sadistic. I was a disturbed child. |

Ah, yes. The good old 'Poo Room' technique. That would work, too. But fire is probably quicker  Those infernal Sims 1 ovens and fireplaces were always spontaneously combusting. It wouldn't take very long. You could also direct your sim into the swimming pool and then remove the ladder. I'm sure we've all tried at least one of these methods to satisfy our murderous impulses at some point.

When I first played Strangetown, I couldn't figure out why Pascal Curious was so fat. o__o I made him work out for a while, but that didn't make him thinner. Shortly after, Vidcund came back from his abduction. I heard the pregnancy music... And that's how I discovered the magic that is male pregnancies. .__. |

When Pascal Curious gave birth I thought he was bugged. I also checked if he was secretly a female. |

I also thought he was fat only... I was playing the Singles household and he was a friend of Erin, so I had him over, then Erin was chatting with him, then when I clicked on him there was the option to "talk to belly" or something, so, Erin did that, but then he just said "See you", and left. |

I thought you couldn't build your own houses from scratch until I got OFB because you had to build your own businesses. |

My first family had a teenage boy called Adam. One day I noticed he had acne! (I didn't know what it was then) I thought it was some awful desiese (I knew sims could get deseises after one of their fears was to get sick) so I tried to call a doctor, but realising I couldn't, I was so upset that my favourit sim was I'll I deleted the whole town and made 3 new ones to replace it Bluewater River City Amadora (omg I get such good memories of my wonderful sims in those towns) |

When I first started playing I thought for some reason houses came with basements. That was Life Stories. It wasn't until I got regular Sims 2 and poked around here a bit that I realized...you have to BUILD basements! |

Since I had already played The Sims 1, I didn't have that much trouble when starting with TS2. My starting couple had a nice medium sized house (I guess I already knew money cheats back then), good jobs and everything was fine so far. Except for the children. Being a TS1 player I couldn't figure out how to get sims pregnant in TS2 for quite a while. xD No matter how many romantic interactions I tried, no popup screen would appear for some reason. Oh well. The first successful sim pregnancies were kind of nightmarish, too. ~_~ As for TS1 the babies were... well, not very cute or anything. They "felt" like objects rather than sims so I didn't care about them at all until they grew up. Often I deliberately let them be taken away by the social worker for several reasons. Not so in TS2. Now the babies looked like - well, babies, there were those cute parent-child interactions and everyone was just plain adorable and so very unique (:P). No way I'd abandon any of them! So I remember really panicking when I got the SoWo warning with my very first TS2 child... Ah, that's so nostalgic. ^^ Today I play with the third or forth re-installation of TS2, so that family probably doesn't even exist anymore. (Or does it, on that other ancient PC...? Hm.) And after all those years I still haven't tried out all the options the game has. I just had my first plant sim a few days ago, so~ |

Kind of ironic really since the model for the baby is identical for every one. Still, they are far more 'real' than either TS1 or TS3 babies. | |

My very first memory of playing the sims 1 was buying a house and trying to add furniture and being shocked that my family had been allocated a certain amount of money. I then proceeded to play the family but alas they only lasted a day because the house caught fire and I didn't realise you had to call a firefighter, plus I was in shock I think. Playing the sims 2 was like learning the game all over again, I couldn't believe that sims actually aged - it was amazing! It's actually weird when I play the sims 1 when I remember oh yeah aging came in sims 2. I don't have that amazment with the sims 3. |

Instead of starting out with a small family to get a feel of the game and controls, I started out with a family of seven: A married couple, their two children and one teen, and two roommates. I didn't know about the wonders of the pause button, so it was quite hectic. The wife of the couple and one of her roommates absolutely hated each other and got into a ton of fights. In one instance the teen nearly missed the bus to school since he was busy egging them on. There were multiple fires. The children were always whiny and miserable and I could never get them to do their homework despite threats of the social worker and the teen's boss threatening to fire him. I also put noise-making objects in bedrooms so everyone was always waking each other up. Furthermore! I made the husband of the married couple a Romance Sim since I was also under the impression that it meant he would be lovey-dovey with his spouse. I was quite upset that he was rolling wants to have two lovers at once. Speaking of wants, I hardly ever fulfilled or looked at them. I was quite confused when one of the roommates became platinum. I thought maybe he was dying. The wife, a family Sim, went into aspiration failure after her husband drowned. The flower sack thing baffled me since I thought it meant she wanted a baby even though she had already had one recently. Eventually the shrink had to come for her. I'm pretty sure I saw the social bunny once as well and had no clue what it was. Oh, and all the children grew up ugly because I didn't know to check how they'd look as adults in CAS. Had no idea about the different face templates either. I thought they were all the same face with different hair and eye colors so I didn't bother with them. I recreated this family recently and was surprised at how smoothly it ran. Though I guess it was boring compared to all that drama. |

I motherloded everyone and put them in huge houses full of expensive, mismatched stuff. I used default face template 01 for every CAS Sim. I thought the prebinned houses were good! :P |

Yes, I was being ironic.  That was just my first impression of the TS2 babies. Naturally that changed over time, but I'm still more attached to them than I ever was to the TS1 babies.

When I first got a baby in Sims 1, I was so disappointed because it was clearly just an object and not a sim. I just ignored it completely and was surprised when the social worker came and took it away. |

They pretty much WERE objects. They only needed interaction every once in a while, and it was always the same thing -- Feed/Feed/Sing. That was all you needed to do. There was a mod that literally added the baby object to the Buy menu. Worked fine. I've even heard of Burgulars who stole the Baby because it was the most valuable object on the lot. That'd be a rare occasion, though...  Of course, Maxis' desktop application baby was more difficult. I never got the hang of that one. |

That happened to me too. The twins I made were bored after they got home from school everyday so they refused to do homework. And then they came home with an F and the social worker came and grabbed them. My Sims kept on crying about it and tried to adopt another child. At first there was a sign that said "You need more money" and so I got some more and then I tried it again. Another sign came up and said "Oh no! You can't! Some of your children got taken away!" So then I realized that I wasn't going to get them back after that. So, my Sim parents tried for one in bed. I played with them until their child they had grew up into, like, a five-year-old kid and quit playing with them after that. P.S. My first game was also Life Stories and I played that family I just talked about in there.
