How often do you play the sims?

As some have also expressed, it largely depends for me. Though I've been played TS4 for nearly 5 years now, my routine has always remained quite similar: I get grabbed by the game and play it for pretty much as much spare time as I have for weeks followed (in past times, when such was possible, I'd literally spend the entire day playing in between meals) - perhaps it was an house project that I wanted to finish, getting caught up in the routine and misadventures of my current household or just being compelled to play for the pure fun of it - up until a point I'd suddenly become bored of it and do a break for several months.

I guess my last big TS4 spree was about an year ago, during the period of the college's summer vacation. After so long without playing it, I got the idea of a basic plan for a lot I spent over a month designing and perfecting as well as a whole new household for two of my main Sims. After the return of the usual daily routine I didn't felt very compelled to boot the game back up besides after major updates just to check the new content and mess with it for a while; lately I've felt like going back to the calming and somewhat therapeutic experience that is my usual TS4 gameplay and have been booting it every couple of days or so. I guess I'm your typical binge watcher, perhaps? ahah
