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

I actually started kinda late because my computer was one of those old white bricks that could only run sims 2 + uni and absolutely nothing more. I played a bit on my friend's laptop, but finally downloaded it to my own laptop in 2016. She was absolutely not made to game, but I quickly found I absolutely adored this game and barely ever went back to sims 4 other than CAS. I mean, this was before the game even had toddlers..
