I still believe the playerbase is largely children (as in people younger than 18) but on the forum you will mostly find adults and people who have been dedicated to the series for a long time.
That's not what I saw when I was in Facebook groups. The majority of people were over 21 and had been playing sims for years. The teen group was like 2nd largest. Both groups I was in had over 50thousand members.
Yeah and facebook is also one of those things which these days, is more popular among older people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Besides, that amount of members doesn't even scratch the surface of the supposed playerbase- I'm 26 but I've been playing the sims since elementary school. I remember I used to take turns with my best friend playing and watching. She loved the building part more and I the playing.

The Sims Have been out For about 20 years and i know this game is appears to be a game for kids, but older people were 20 years younger when this game came out, so who's still playing??? is it a young person game, older person game, or both???
70 here
I'm right there with you. :D
I was about to hit 50 when I found the original sims...time really flies when you're having fun! :p - I am 25. I started playing the sims in late 2003. I think I had played it before at friends houses but remember getting it for Christmas when I was in like fourth grade. I think it probably took me a couple of years before I got the sims 2. I played the sims 2 into early high school, probably stopping around 2010 because my dad wouldn't let me put it on the family computer anymore because I kept getting viruses due to cc :| In like 2013 I got the sims 3 and played it for a couple of years. In 2015 when I was going on deployment, I downloaded the sims 4 onto my surface because the sims 3 was too big a game for my surface, but the base game for the sims 4 was reasonable. Uhhh anyways, to answer the question...I am in the mid age brackett for playing the sims 4 but have also played the sims since I was a child.

- Karamazov123Seasoned Vanguard26 now, but I've been playing since I was 8, I think? Though I didn't seriously play the game until a few years later, because as a young kid I mostly played the game to play with fireworks and set my sims on fire.

That's cool, but Sims is 20 years old, so obviously a lot of players have been around for a while. The over 18 age group is very large. And I personally think its larger than the under 18 group of simmers.- I'm actually surprised at the number of people in my range!

...why is the word beginning with "IDIO" censored?
It's an over-sensitive forum. I wrote the word "Jer..." plus one letter, that was censored as well. xD- I play other games, but I still enjoy creating things in The Sims 4 every so often. Now if only that new Island Living EP would be available on consoles a bit sooner...
