Origin thinks I've only played a bit over 800 hours. However, I know it's much, much more than that since I play offline 99% of the time and have played almost every day. I wish there was a way to tell how many hours I've played offline as well. Oh well... *shrugs*

4447 so far for me but i have played way more hours than that on Sims 1 , 2 and 3 , especially on Sims 2

It says 2326 hours but could swear only half of that (or less) I played. I just get bored really quick after exiting build mode on TS4, I like the game though obviously. Maybe I'm 10k hours too on TS3 pre-Origin \o/

How can someone run game for hours and days? Especially with these all popup screens? I've got popups every single hour....

Huh? what popup screens?

Just a bit over 8000 for me

Don't know for sure because I play entirely off-line, and Origin doesn't count off-line hours played. I only go on-line to download patch updates or new packs, and as soon as that stuff is installed, I go back off-line to play. So my official hours are still under 100.

But a few years ago I calculated a rough estimate, based on frequency and duration of my typical sessions, which came to around 3000 hours. Would be quite a bit higher now.

I had no idea Origin couldn't count the hours we play offline, but now my 124 hours make more sense. I used to play offline a lot because for a period of time origin glitched when I tried to launch it while being connected to wifi.

I do that also. Paused. Right now I've been playing my game for the last four days without shutting it down. I save, pause, and minimize. I show about 28,000 hours. It's probably about half that.
