Technically, we're not supposed to give out our ages to make sure the younger players are protected. I'll just say there's a Beatles song that will reflect my age on my next birthday. It's a jaunty little tune Paul wrote for his father who had just reached that age. I began 'gaming' in the summer of 2005. My odyssey began with Sims2. At my age I was no longer used to getting a money gift for my birthday, but I did get one. I gladly spent it on University, which had already come out by the time I had my copy of the base game. That fall, I do believe Night Life came out, too. I was addicted in a heartbeat, surprising not only myself but my family, too. My grown daughter is the one who first showed me the game. She also urged me to create my own Sim in CAS, then on to play said Sim. The rest as it's said is history.
I can say that it's a good way to stave off the Empty-Nest Syndrome.
