I've got Sims 3 on my computer just waiting to be played. I haven't touched the series since the first way back in the day.
Been eyeballing Sims 4 for the GF since she's not too big into games. The streamlining they did with the game would maybe get her hooked though I guess it would probably be best to just go with 3 since it's already there.
Thanks for the review!
