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

I've been playing sense either 2015 or 2016, I had fallen down the rabbit hole of sims youtube somehow and was like 'what is this game I want it' but one friend had the sims 3 and one had the sims 4, and so I was like 'which one do I get' and I was still on the fence until I was at best buy one day getting a bday gift for my brother. And I saw a disc set of the sims 3 that included the base game, late night, and high end loft stuff for 19$. So I was like I guess my mind has been made. And I've been playing ever sense.
