SimGuruHydra’s First Memory With The Sims

Source: The Sims 3 Community Blog

Howdy everyone! SimGuruHydra here – I’ve been with The Sims Team for  more than five years hanging out with the community on TheSims3.com forums and My Page ! Another year, another bladder failure, another Klepto Sim stealing the toilet, another Bella Goth sighting.

As our 14th Anniversary closes in, we’re kicking off Flashback February! Think of our Throwback Thursday posts on Twitter or Facebook – except this time it’s twice a week. And it’s not just posts from us – we’re inviting all Simmers to share their favorite memories!

One of my favorite memories of playing The Sims games was when I had this ambitious idea of turning the entire neighborhood in The Sims into a graveyard. Normally, I’m more of a nurturing kind of player with a motherlode (or in The Sims case – rosebud) trigger finger. Only the best for my Sims! Then I ran into a site where a player documented his Sims’ deaths. The rest was history.

Some lots would be cemeteries, some would be mausoleums filled with urns and medieval décor. I didn’t fill out the whole neighborhood, but let’s just say many of my Sims saw Grimmy back then.

What was your favorite memory with The Sims games? Was it the first time you jumped when a burglar came tip-toeing into your home? Maybe it was when one of your Sims reached Permanent Platinum in The Sims 2without using cheats when achieving their Lifetime Want!
