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

I love it when I can hang out and talk with gamers who are in my age range (give or take thirty plus years or so difference). I crossed the half century mark two years ago (yeah my wife tells me my mental age is two; I think she’s a bit optimistic on that point)

@Evalen - gaming I think is for everyone no matter what age. I’ve heard of people who are in their 70s and 80s playing hard paced action shooters, forming e-league teams and “teaching the young’uns a thing or two” on the “battlefield” so we can all play any game to our heart’s content. ??

Some like us prefer slower paced games like Sims 3 or city builders. .

@Nikkei_Simmer I also like city builders, I love the computer, I have been on the computer since the commadore 64, I remember when me and my husband played a game where you had to type sit on the chair, once it was a game and it said do you want to go straight, right or left, So I took the left and it said you have been killed by a lion, so I told my husband do not go left. Now the games are so real. but I have loved the Sims the best. I guess I will play until the end of my time. any way it does keep your brain thinking. Have fun with you Sims.

I have been playing the sims 3 since release. I've tried to play 4 a few time but just keep coming back to 3. It's one of it not my favorite game and I don't see myself not playing it anytime soon.

I started playing in 2012! 10 years later and it's still my favourite game in the Sims franchise.

Started playing when I was a young teen. I think as soon as it released, I was so excited and asked for it as birthday/Christmas gifts. When I had free time, or if I was feeling down, Sims 3 was my escape. I still play it in random modules of time and am currently on a third generation of a family.

I’ve been playing since I was little but I only recently got back into playing it

My first house uploaded to the exchange was on June 3rd, 2009.

The Sims 1 was the first game in the series. Developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts, it was released for Microsoft Windows on February 4, 2000. so I guess I have been playing for 23 years as my granddaughter got me the sims 1 when it came out. It is hard to believe that I have been playing that long and am still in love with the sims 3 I guess I will play until its time for me to leave as I cannot take the sims with me

Well, if we're counting pre-Sims 3 as well, I started playing with Little Computer People on my Apple //e in 1985.

I started in December-November and still playing now.

I started playing in 2011. So 10-12 year, since my vote didn't go through.
