Ugh.

Warcraft 3 Reloaded here. DP wants me to raid again in WoW (I have certain experience) but screw that. Prince Arthas is far more important Smile

DP is playing through the rollercoaster tycoon games, and going "wheeee" whenever she makes/tests a ride. I wish I was joking...

Theme hospital is on origin, roller coaster tycoon is on steam. I'm also a sims player. You have excellent taste in games OP!

Ha! I got it a few days ago. Used to play all weekend when I was 13 and used to swap expansion packs with my friends Grin

I wasted 4 hours on it on Sunday. Have no idea where the time went and my sim is still a single bum in a shitty job Grin

I'm playing it too, having recently bought a new laptop that doesn't die every time I try to load it! I didn't realise that I could download all the old versions from Origin that I had previously or that it had been updated. I'm happy!

I still pick up the Sims 4 since well before this all kicked off.

Until I realised that when my sims had babies and then toddlers, I was basically just redoing my entire day once I’d got my actual kids to bed 😂.

I started playing Skyrim again a few weeks ago- DH sits and watches me like he’s watching a movie and it’s a lot of fun.

Apparently it’s on sale on origin with expansion packs.

What expansion packs do people recommend?

I haven't played the sims since I was about 12. Wish I had it 😭

I wish I could play theme hospital and roller coaster tycoon but my laptop doesn’t have a disc drawer

I was able to download the sims through origin though.

The pets one is fantastic, and Get Together allows you to live in apartments which is a lot of fun!
