I want to play the Sims, but have never played it

I want to play the Sims, but have never played it.
Which one of the two is better? The first or the second?
Should I bother getting the expansion packs if I'm just starting?

Bumping.
I need some simulation.

Gonna resort to tits to get answers. Help me fags.

First with all expansions

The first is a neat dollhouse but very basic.
Get the second with its expansions.

The Sims Bustin' Out

it's very important that you pirate it instead of buying it

First with all expansions

Why not the third?

SimAnt is best sims.

If you're going to play Sims2 emulate the console versions since you can play it co-op and it has a bunch of missions/scenarios.
I think the 3rd game is the best if you like making cute houses and going on cute adventures. Especially after the expansion added the stylist/architect jobs that let you make cute houses and fashions in game.

I think I'll have to get the first by overwhelming request.
Even if my local walmart has them at like 5$?
I heard the 3rd sucked ass. My laptop probably can't handle the graphics anyways.

One is best, with all expansions.

Two is ok but they started making the game a lot easier.
Most of the stuff added is gimmicks that get old fairly quick.

We don't talk about the urbz.

Three you can be a best selling author, famous painter and President of the free world a month after moving in.

You can play one without expansions and it's fun but one is best because it has the best expansions.

No, never give EA money. They're don't deserve it after how hard they ruined Sims4. Still no content in the game, but at least you have the Katy Perry stuff pack and DLC couches.

>We don't talk about the urbz.
Fuck off m8 Urbz was GOAT on the GBA/DS.

1 (with all expansions) > 2 > 1 (without expansions) >3 > Urbz

You also might consider emulating The Sims Bustin Out for GBA. Lots of fun, you control 1 sim and can walk around the city and talk to people / shop / play minigames. Fun hidden gem.

I agree.
Urbz for GBA was GOAT. Urbz for PS2 was complete dogshit.

How come that people don't like 3? For me it was the best one, although 1 and 2 hit very close as well.

2>3>1>4 is the patrician order

Probably 1, maybe 2 if you find it too old-ish.
Make sure to download the pack with all the expansions ( it becomes a mess if you install the expansion by yourself).

>How come that people don't like 3?

Micro transactions out the ass.
Less content then previous games.
Much easier then previous games.
No modding support.

I mostly dislike 3 because of how little comes with the vanilla game.

Reminder that they planned to sell the ability to have pools as DLC in sims 4.

Bustin' Out was pretty good back when it came out, not sure if it's still worthwhile. Sims 3 is ok

The original Sims has the GOAT soundtrack;

you forgot to add that the with all the expansions the game takes ages to load. It's so slow there's even minigames on the loading screen.

I wish there was another game like Bustin Out, closest you get is animal crossing but thats nothing like it.

100% with you.

Dont listen to this guy

3+xpacs > 2+xpacs > 1+xpacs > the rest

Bustin out was pretty good tho, wouldnt rank it with the others since its kinda different.

I downloaded a mod that replaced sims 3 build/buy music with sims 1 music.

Bliss...

I agree.

Can't add anything because this post is objectively correct.

Bustin' Out and Urbz for GBA were great. Sims2 for GBA... how did they fuck it up this much?

Best song coming through

Why did medieval suck so bad?

Why was the Sims 2 PSP version so fucking awful?

I feel like im the only one whos played either

>tfw knew what it was before it started playing

so fucking good

Thanks user it a real pleasur to hear that i was thinking nobody fucking sims-fag had noticed that.

Well OP 2 is the better, complete gameplay, 3 have a lot of content and a real open world, the first have the best expansion indeed ( but the 2 have greats too ). And the 4... the 4 is.... a.... MASTERPIECE OF SHIT WOW 2014 GAMING

I think they were trying to experiment.
To bad it did not work out.

Oh one last thing mod the game, seriously. Go to Mod The Sims community and enjoy.

I worked as QA for medieval, and jesus what a borefest that was, we also were able to write what we did like and what not, but they didn't hear a single shit

source?
