I statrted playing the Sims1 about and fell inlove with the game. When Sims2 was released I switched over to that form of the game because the layout of the game is what I wanted in the Sims1.(the view of Sims2 as if you were actually in the game instead of over seeing it)I ejoy building homes, community lots and business for my Sims. The one thing I miss from the old Sims1(and I'm one of the few I guess)are Vacation Lots they were one on my favorites to build in the old game. And I really feel my Sims2 people could use some down time at a beautiful vacation get away!
