This is the console version. The game that came out before The Sims: Bustin' Out. I enjoyed this game and its sequel immensely back in the day. Please vote for this to play a unique mission-based Sims game with a simple story thrown in that introduces Malcolm Landgraab.

I remember using the internet cafe at school to download assets for The Sims onto floppy discs because I didn't have internet at home. Good old days when you could fit a chair on a floppy LUL
Hello Simmers, i see somes of you guys are Maxis Fans like me and like Maxis old Game, anyway i need to tell you a interesting thing, go vote in SimCity Creator it was added by me in GOG Dreamlist, SimCity Creator is a underrated SimCity game and was pretty unique and a thing it have more than 20 disasters in the game the biggest in the franchise, man i would really love seeing it have a PC and GOG port!
I loved this game when I was a kid, it was so fun playing it for a couple hours every now and then. I think I mainly played it on the PS1 at the time but it was available for the PC as well and I think it was later also available on PS2 if I remember correctly. It seems after years of begging, EA has finally released a legacy version of it & 2 on Steam but who knows if they are really the same as the original versions of the game. Would be great if you guys could port the PS1 version to GOG or get your hands on the original PC release! I remember often accidentally setting the stove on fire and as I kid I couldn't always stop it in time so a character or two died in the learning process... hehe anyway it was a tonne of fun despite it being somewhat limited in some ways compared to the later games, Sims 1 still has it's charm. I honestly had settled into the belief that the only way I would ever get to play it again was if I got a PS1 console just to play the console version of the game. The problem with that is that it can be a wee bit of setup nowadays, as the PS1 was designed to work with CRT tvs... and also that the PS1 consoles probably won't work forever. Electronics have a life cycle, that's just how it is sadly. I miss the PS1 days in many ways. I don't miss dial up internet though. It's weird to remember how the Sims 1 use to look a lot like the sims 3 or 4 does now in graphical quality, minus some detail respectively but when you get use to LCD monitors and changes in video game mechanics & graphics, looking back changes things. I remember when the term retro meant arcade machine games and the 80's was only 20 years ago... weird times, weird times. If I remember correctly, every playthrough of Sims 1 for me including at least one interaction with a house robber. Only in the sims 1 did such a memory of burglars stick with me, did the Sims 2 & 3 not have house robbers? Hmm.
Those games also need your vote!
