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

I played it when it was first out. Took a break, started again, took a break, well, you get the idea

Hey, everyone!
I must admit I was quite skeptical when I got the base game. My inicial goal was to check out the 3D models because I was learning 3D modeling at that time. I felt in love with it and, luckily, because of Sims 4, most of my disks were a real bargain. It must have taken me 3 years to purchase everything (except for Katy Pery's).

Nowadays, I give the game a break once in a while, but it's my favorite one. Also, as weird as it may sound, I haven't played with all the expansions nor the store content in a while.

I started playing in August 2017, when I received a laptop for my birthday. One laptop replacement later and I'm still playing The Sims 3, though I do take breaks from playing and focus on something else. My most recent break was nearly two months long

I think it released in 2009, and I picked it up on the first day it was in stores. Wasn't always the smoothest ride, but it's been in a great place for the last several years now.

Registered on the sims 3 site on June 27 2011 but couldn't play until a few months later because my desktop at the time couldn't run it. Still have the laptop I bought for it :)

I switched over to the Sims 3 when ambitions was released, and ever since I've been hooked. I'm not actually playing the game anymore, just taking the pictures needed for my story. Owning the store, I have still not explored everything and everyplace!

Wait a second, you own the Sims 3 store?

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.

I've been playing since it got released in 2009 I think. But for the whole time I started with the Sims1 back in 2000!

Same here, got it on the day of release. In actuality, I've been playing Sims in one form or another since 2001.
