Maybe Sims2 again?

When I quit Sims2 (more than 2 years ago) I deleted all my downloads (darn....) and deinstalled and sold the game plus all expansions.

After my decision to not buy Sims3 I am honestly considering to play Sims2 again... there is so much beautiful stuff out there and I could get many of my old downloads back still. (Not all of them, some were donation etc... oh, idiot me, I shouldn't have deleted everything... I spent so much time (months and months) sorting my downloads and editing them... wow, all that work lost...)

I am not sure... there was a reason I quit of course - many reasons even. I didn't have enough time (and still don't), the game crashed over and over - even without any downloads! - and because of all the work I had with editing the files (mostly skin files... but as I always used a base from someone else I couldn't upload them here, they were just for personal use) I didn't get to actually play the Sims for many months - which is ridiculous... as I just did that for improvement of the game of course.

The TIME I wasted on all that... unbelievable.

And now I'd have to spend a huge amount of money to re-buy everything plus new expansions etc. and maybe even some stuff packs... (as I see so much phantastic houses here for example which need all stuff packs...)

Phew.

Still I'd love to play Sims again so very very much.... For many years Sims were my passion. And as I am surfing Sim sites again since some time I recognize I'm still addicted... (guess that's the same as with alcohol - once you've been an alcoholic you stay that for your whole life even of you don't drink anymore ;-)

*sigh* I can't decide.... to sim or not to sim... that's the question here. (Hm... Hamlet's answer was "not to be" if I remember correctly, so that would mean not to sim... but who is Hamlet anyway? ;-)
