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

It'll be 12 years for me in October, at least for Sims 3, and I'm still playing it. I played Sims 1 for a few years starting at the end of 2000, when I "borrowed" my brother's Christmas gift so I could try the game out for myself. I'm sad I missed out on Sims 2 (my computer couldn't run it) and not sad at all that I missed the first few years of Sims 4.
