How Many Hours Have You Played Sims 3 on Origin?

I've never played my game through origin since they made that nasty change and tied our games to it, so zero.

@Texansky @MamaSimTee I'm like @bekkasan. I haven't played through Origin since September 2017. That's when I set my new computer up and didn't put Origin onto it. That means there are a lot of other games I can't play but I'd prefer to stick to Sims 3 plus a few other simple games I picked up along the way from other places.

I’m a good reason why they should create Sims Addiction Anonymous.

When I was last on my Origin Account it said my playing hours were about 13K hrs.

That number is even more appalling when you consider the fact that it was January 2017 that I joined Origin and started playing the Sims 3. ? I’d never touched a Sims game before that time.

I figured there would be some that never upgraded to 1.69 for various reasons. I decided to go ahead and do it since all my EPs and SPs were all on Origin. I haven't experienced any issues myself.

Since I have only played since October 2015 but didn't play much from 2017 to 2022, I figured out that I have only played for about 34 months. When I do the math, I've spent about 30% of my time playing Sims 3. I think I need a life. :grimace:

Then again, there have been times where I have paused the game and left it running in the background for days, so there is that.

I have 11,781 hours, I really do need a life.

so on the origin I have played 3359 hours but I do not click on Origin to play all the time so I know I have played more then that because i have played everyday from the Sims 1 until now. maybe a few days off.

The official number is 4,733 hours, which is roughly 197 days. I don't think it's an entirely accurate count because I do play offline a lot, and I feel like I've definitely logged more hours than that...

I have an all disc install. I think my Origin says I've played 1 hour.

According to Origin, it says 2 hours. But luckily for me, I don't go through Origin to start the game as I'm still on the 1.67 patch as I had never updated to the 1.69 patch since my game is installed with the discs. So it's hard to say how many hours that I've played the game...?

I think I started playing Sims 3 right before the 1.69 patch. Most of my game was purchased digitally through Origin. I picked up three stuff packs from Steam and registered them on Origin. When 1.69 came out, I went ahead and upgraded it.
