The Sims 1 review

The Sims 1 was launched on January 31, 2000. It is a crappy game by modern standards, but it is innovative, being the first game of The Sims series, and if it didn’t existed, probably the better games The Sims 2 and 3 may have never appeared.

Expansion packs: Livin’ Large, House Party, Hot Date, Vacation, Unleashed, Superstar, Makin’ Magic.

The Sims free download

In 2014 EA Games offered The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for free download via Origin for a limited time of one week. Only people who grabbed the free download at right time can re-download the game at any time. Sadly, I missed the moment.

Some people uploaded Ultimate Collection on various file hosting services, where anyone can download for FREE:

The Sims squares to Square Meters or Feet conversion

Based on furniture size, one square (unit) in all The Sims games seems to be 3 feet (0.91 meters), or 9 square foot. But this is not important, you can consider each game square to be 1 square meter (= 10.7 square foot). However, if you want to replicate real houses, you should NOT pay attention to matching size of real house, instead you should adjust the house size to make it suitable for your Sims family size.

The Sims 2 Expansion Packs review

Original plan was to install and play each expansion one by one, in order, but since 2008 I rarely had time to play games, so after 3 years, in November 2011 I decided to jump to Apartment Life, then in mid-2012 I downloaded all expansions and stuff packs to do an one-day test for each one, I do not have time to play more.
