Anyone playing the sims 3 again because of quarantine? lol

I think a lot of us have been playing since way before the quarantine. I know I have. I take breaks every now and again, but yeah. I haven't stopped playing Sims 3.

I've been inspired to play a multi-generational legacy kind of game and, right now, I've got two of that type going on. Both beginning with my own created single sim that married into a pre-made sim from the neighborhood. The farthest I've gotten so far is the 3rd generation to be a Young Adult. I want to try to get to 10 generations with it.

I second Carly's remark. Technically I never stopped, but I did play the game less then than I do now. I've had so much time on my hands due to this little pandemic of ours.

I am also doing a 10 generation legacy, I just hope this awful thing of a laptop can hold out until the end of April or early May.

I found that my attention span for all my games have gone down to loading screen time - and then off. I can't concentrate any more. So, no. I'm playing less of all my Sims games. :(

Although most of us here have been playing long before COVID19 ever loomed on the horizon, I guess it’s just increased our playing time being in the house 24/7. Unfortunately, my computer is toast so I have to be happy with SimCity Build It for now, until I can get a hold of a new gaming computer.

I play both 3 and 4. Ive recently bought supernatural ep and im looooving it. Im doing a very disfunctional family haha

I left but came back earlier last year so it's not Covid-19 but I noticed a few TS3 friends on another forum just came back and uh...I want to describe it as bittersweet but I'm selfish and see it as a plus entirely. Not saying that about the rest of the world's affairs.

I started and stopped playing again in February and have been trying to start again since the quarantine. I've found that I can't really get into the game at all in the daytime but can still sometimes get hooked for a few hours in the middle of the night when I can't sleep.

I keep seeing this YouTube ad that starts with "The greatest enemy of writing is being interrupted by other people." I think the same is true for me when Simming lol :confounded:

Outside of the occasional break which is never longer than a week, I have been playing this game steadily since I began a little over eight years ago.

I really haven't played it in a while, as it isn't optimized for newer systems and is taxing on my hardware, and tends to crash.

One thing I plan to finally do is figure out why the RAM doesn't seem to work on a new Acer Nitro 50, as given it has an i7, better cooling, and a dedicated graphics card, it should have no problem running TS3 with more than just one or two packs. I suspect the RAM simply became unseated due to poor handling by Amazon and/or UPS. Need to finally run the memory test I set up a flash drive and a DVD-ROM for. I also want to bump it up to at least 16GB of RAM.

I'm also going to try doing a legacy again!! I've only ever gotten to generation 3, usually my game runs into issues after a while or I just lose interest. What kind of legacy game are you playing? I'd really like to try a 'randomacy' style of legacy

I've had the Sims for a long time too, but I really haven't played much in the past 3 years because of school. There's so much I never discovered/played with from the EPs, so I've been having so much fun
