So if you remember, WAAAY back, I posted a video when we found out that The Sims actually started out as a addon for Simcity 2000. We got a couple of seconds of video.

Here's some more images, from TCRF, showing off sims and buildings. My guess is that this is after the 1994-5 docs that we got? So this may have been 1994-1996 at some point.

By 1996 at some point they'd moved on to more fully rendered Sims so I'd guess that this is early '96 at the latest?

Funny thing is, this is the earliest development for the SimAntics engine which means that this is ALSO the earliest development point for The Sims 2, since that was just an extension of the TS1 engine engine.

Who knows, maybe there is something from even THIS far back that made its way up to TS2? After all there are pictures of one of the Steering Committee build sims and some UI elements from 1998 left in TS2's files.
