Hello simmers,Just out of curiosity each time you open up the sims 4 how long do you typically play for?

So I personally only play maybe 2 hours at a time on average. I like to play for a little while and shut down the game and take a break. Some days I head back in to it after a while and sometimes I don’t. If it’s a weekend I might go in and out of the game 3 times or more. Usually on weekdays I’ll only play a couple hours after work. It’s not that I get bored but I can’t sit for a long period of time. So I take frequent breaks and I always go off and do something else for a little while.

Just over an hour, usually, when the wife and kid are in bed.

1-2 hours... Or however long my toddler naps for :P

Lately not very long due to the new plumbob with the loading screens causing headaches.

I go on binges. I will literally play for hours and hours on end then I might not play for a while. It depends on my personal life.

How long is your average play session?

For Sims 4, I usually spend maybe an hour or until I get bored--usually when the kiddos are asleep. Sims 3, I could play for about 3-4 hours. Sims 2, I would play so long, I would forget what time it was or whether it was still daylight outside lol

I try to play at least one session per day, usually when my kid is asleep, it helps me relax to focus on their little lives (or working through the 100 baby challenge)

After logging on I keep it running in the background after a while and minimise it to desktop whilst reading the news, web browsing or doing housework or making meals. I can run games like Bejewelled 3 or Solitaire inbetween visits! I don't know how many hours this counts on with EA Origin but I'm well over 3,500 apparently! I'm retired though.

I really need an app to remind me to get up and go out every few hours! My late dog used to do that. :)

Based on a number of the answers, I would be more interested in learning how long people play in a day.

I generally play to unwind after work, and then stop for dinner.

@Scobre Twisted Mexi has a mod called Clean UI that sets everything back to the original screens. It is a Godsend.

The original screens gave me migraines too. So there in lies my dilemma.

I try to limit my gameplay to 2-3 hours max, but sometimes if I'm building I reach the 5-hour mark.

3-4 hours on average I'd say. I only really start the game up if I have the time to get really stuck in to it, unless I'm in the middle of a specific build and know what I'm going to tweak - then I might just play for an hour or so.

Monday thru Friday when I am working I sometimes don't even fire the game up. Weekends, when I am off, I average 7 to 8 hours, but I do break it up, take about 15 mins to walk around, stretch my legs, get something to eat or drink, then right back to sims.

Lately it's been shorter than usual because I'm starting to get into those years where if you even think about lifting something you injure your back :D :'( :#
