I am certainly very glad this didn't happen to me in Sims3. I had a catastrophic medical incident and since it was life-threatening, I decided to stop procrastinating and treat my writing as a career and not just a hobby, when I finally got home. I didn't look at my emails, I didn't scroll through the Sims forums, nor play my game until I had finished writing for the day, which meant I didn't play my game. For MONTHs. We're talking from October 2009 until January 2011. Perhaps the secret is, I never log out, I just exit the game and the App, now.
