Now how long have you been playing the Sims 3 for?

I started playing back in 2012! I started late in the series, but that just meant I could buy all the expansion packs at once!

Wow. That's cool! I've started playing Sims around that time as well. But not the Sims 3.

I never played a single Sims game until 2017 (and was told by a family friend to start with Sims 3) because of boredom resulting from recuperation from a near-fatal bout with near-total blockage 85-90% of my lungs (severe pneumonia).

I was driving my wife @Featherbelle, crazy with my constant whining of “I’m bored, there’s nothing to do”. Yes we men get like that.

She tossed me the Sims 3 disc, told me to install it on my computer and get out of her hair so she could play Mass Effect in peace and quiet. ?. Yes, I love my wife.

…and here I am in 2022, addicted to Sims 3.

Playing Sims 3…and writing long-winded stories.

…having to do with River McIrish. ? who essentially has the same familial backstory as my RL wife (which is the reason, I use her for my legacy spouse).

I'm sorry about what happend! I hope you feel better soon! And keep simming!

It’s been nearly six years and I’ve gotten about 65% of my lung capacity back - it won’t ever be 100% but, I can live with 65%

Computer died, but hope to get a replacement in around 9 months to an year.

Hey, everyone!
I must admit I was quite skeptical when I got the base game. My inicial goal was to check out the 3D models because I was learning 3D modeling at that time. I felt in love with it and, luckily, because of Sims 4, most of my disks were a real bargain. It must have taken me 3 years to purchase everything (except for Katy Pery's).

Nowadays, I give the game a break once in a while, but it's my favorite one. Also, as weird as it may sound, I haven't played with all the expansions nor the store content in a while.

I switched over to the Sims 3 when ambitions was released, and ever since I've been hooked. I'm not actually playing the game anymore, just taking the pictures needed for my story. Owning the store, I have still not explored everything and everyplace!

Started when the it first came out, so been playing for nearly 13 years!

As for The Sims franchise as a whole, I got The Sims as a Christmas gift in 2000, so almost a year after it's release date. I've been hooked ever since, so been playing The Sims franchise for 21 years! Fun fact, The Sims 4 is the only game I didn't play for a significant amount of time. :sweat_smile:

Never played to The Sims 3 and never will.

Wait a second, you own the Sims 3 store?

@ItsMeThatGuy "own the store" is an expression that means you have bought everything there is to buy, including expansions. So, yeah, I own the store B)
