I played Sims City 2000 a year or so before I started the Sims. I'm not even sure I was aware it existed, lol. I didn't really care for 3000 even though it looked nicer, for some reason. And hell I haven't played Sim City 4 in a really long time.
I didn't get day ten but I entered day 11 too. There are also 2 giveaways hosted by members but they require you to subscribe to their youtube channel... and I don't want to, lol.
