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

10-12 years ago is my best guess for when I first started playing Sims 3. I'd been playing Sims 2 and I'm pretty sure I didn't get 3 until a while after it came out. But I didn't really get into it properly until recently. My Mac really struggled with it in those early days, and after one software update my game developed a bad glitch that made it unplayable for me - and I didn't know about mods then or anything that might have helped. So I switched to Sims 4 fairly soon after it came out for Mac and abandoned 3 - until they brought out the 64 bit version a couple of years ago, which has brought it all back for me :) I've now added all the EPs and stuff packs I'm interested in, and with the essential NRAAS mods it plays the best it ever has for me!
