Mental Health and The Sims - How has it helped you?

As long as you limit yourself. Otherwise, I think you could get addicted and slip from reality. Especially, if you start to think your Sims are living a better life than, yourself. I know I personally typically play ( or mostly) build in Sims World during the cold season and I know I won't be going out as much. Also, as alternative to just watching a movie or sketching, I guess. I just hope most Simmers are not playing in order to evade their real life issues that may need to deal with.
