The Sims has been arguably the most popular casual game... like... ever. I knew what the Sims was and vaguely how it worked without really even playing it. I bought my first Sims game in a Steam Sale last Christmas (The Sims 3) and I go on binges. It's kind of relaxing in a very odd way. I haven't put any mods, add ons, or additional DLCs on it though, and I doubt I will unless I somehow win the lottery in the next coming years.
But since I'm a bit of a noob, I just wanted to hear everyone's Sims stories and experiences.
