Recently I have found myself playing almost everyday but this is after I took a month and a half break from playing. There are times I will get burned out on playing and will have to give myself a break.

Nowadays. I've had breaks that lasted months or even years. But now im playing pretty often.

Everyday because of the pandemic. There is not much to do because nothing is open. My job ended because of the pandemic. I am still adjusting. I got another job right away but I work from home now and I have more free time. Yeah, so I play a lot now or at least until I find another computer games that interests me. Ooblets looks interesting but will wait for reviews before dropping $25 on an early release game.

I play most evenings as part of my wind down routine at the end of the day. Sometimes I have something else I need to do that goes late, or I just decide that I don't want to play - usually when my stories are in holding patterns, which doesn't help them get out of it.

I said 7 days because that's typical, I can usually find at least an hour to fire up either TS3 or TS4 (although if it's only an hour I have, then it's likely going to be 4 since 3 takes 15+ minutes to load! :D ) It's not always like this either, I've missed months in the past and I'm sure it will happen again. This is just what is happening right now.I do take breaks and skip random days, but lately with the pandemic, there's not much else to do anyways.

Used to play everyday before Eco Lifestyle came out, but do to the bugs and refusal to address those bugs I now play the game maybe once a week... or less.

I used to play every day but I'm playing a story and the amount of pictures I had started to overwhelm me so now I've narrowed it down to: whenever I REALLY feel like it or when one of my characters' pictures run out.

Only because of the incessant crashes I've been experiencing on PS4 since April.
Crashed 3 times today and twice yesterday. That's my limit. Only had the game for a year and coivd has finally given me the time to get into it but it's broken.

I'm playing an other game too, so I switch everyday and have a break from it. This prevent me from too much thinking about the games and having therefore sleepless nights because of what should I do next thoughts.

It varies for me. There are periods where I play it daily, then months can pass without touching it, and when I eventually pick it up again, I'm back to daily basis.

Yeah, I cycle in and out of playing it. Right now, I'm booting the thing up about twelve times a week, but last month I didn't play it atall.

I should have maybe picked 1-2 times a week or other. I play more when I'm into it but sometimes can take a few months break. So I kind of replied how often I play when I play.

I used to play almost daily, but i recently got a new PC and i still need to redownload all my packs and update my CC and mods. And I’m a bit lazy so i haven’t gotten around to do any of that yet :#

The Sims is just one of many hobbies I enjoy. I play when I feel like it.

Sims 4 just does not have that old magic the previous ones had that kept me in the game, I feel for me Sims 4 has less to offer me or any worthy incentives to keep me in. I have moved on to other games or back to the older versions to get my fix. If I was just an beginner then I can overlook all of Sims 4 shortcomings but being I am an veteran I can't.

I play every two days because I play on an xbox and it's in my family room so I can't play much and I want to be productive and gaming takes up quite a bit of the day xD And I'm more likely to be allowed on it if I wasn't on it the day before. I also feel good when I'm not on our xbox as much as other family members. I just feel more responsible for some reason!

I believe you and what you feel is not an bad thing as you care how you want to use your time. :)
