When playing sims 3, I...

I play for hours straight, but save frequently (so that's an interruption) and while the game is saving I end up looking things up on the internet, or read/post on the forum.

For me it varies, sometimes I play for hours and hours with no interruptions, and other times I'm going back and forth doing other things on my second monitor, like reading forums, looking up other things, updating my tumblr, etc. etc. I guess it just all depends on whether my mood is focused or not.

As long as I am into the game, I can continue for hours. This is easiest when I'm in build mode and not gameplay mode. Sometimes, I may stop and look at my phone, but this would be the most accurate in terms of how I play.

I enjoy playing more when there are no interruptions, so I can get fully immersed in the game. I tried once to chat on discord while playing, and it was really no fun at all. So I keep distractions away and only pause when I need to stretch out my legs or back.

Play for about 20 minutes, pause and check the forums, play a bit on my phone, then back to my game(unless I have something I need to do around the house, then I just leave my game paused)

I don't play, just set up pictures. But it can go on for hours, especially after everyone is in bed and I'm not being disturbed ever so often. I can't understand why hubby and the kids absolutely must eat regularly. Gaah! :sweat_smile:

I play for hours straight (2-3) as that is how long it takes me to play one sim day. I only ever play one sim day per session and do several save as saves throughout the session. I play offline so no forum or looking things up for me. If I really need to look something up, like a name for a baby that has just been born, I might use my iPad to do a search but I usually have a list of names chosen before babies are born.

Well, last wedding I set up, I had 78 screenshots to be sorted out. XD

In general, I play one sim-day. Save, quit, restart the game, play another sim day, save, quit and restart again... if I can play for hours. (I usually have a tolerance of 3 hours, after that I need to do something else before playing again)
Sometimes my back hurts or I get hungry or I remember to clean up something and then, I pause and do my things and after that, I come back. I rarely play with music or the TV on because I lose my focus and don't get anything from everything.

I play, but I spend a lot of time panning the camera around to get nice screenshots. I rarely play for long periods of time, something IRL is always interfering! :D

I chose the wrong one, should have been "Play, but screenshot things every so often to post in the forums". Didn't quite understand this line tbh, thought you meant taking a screenshot and get out of the game to post it. That I don't do, but I do take a zillion screenshots while playing. I never leave my game though, so in that respect no interruptions.
