A Simmer from the very start.
Sims 1, Sims 2. Never had quite all of those expansion packs, but did pretty well. Sims 2 Life Stories, then moved on to Sims 3. All of these games have been racked with loss and pain as my computer has crashed numerous times, losing everything. With XP, my Sims 3 sims often lacked hair, a glitch which I'm sure many of you have experienced. However we have finally just bought a new Windows 7 computer which works like a dream. No problems as of yet. :)
