What is your gaming routine?

Olivesplum06

I only play at night, after I put my daughter to bed. I maybe watch an episode of a show with my husband before-hand, to spend some quality time with him. Grab a snack, a drink, my blanket, (Even in the summer, have to have a blanket on my lap...) turn on my PC, cruise this forum, and MTS. Download a little CC.. Usually end up reading some Sims blog for way too long, and before I know it, Its 10:30 PM and I haven't even started playing yet haha. I'll typically then load up TS2 or TS3 (usually 2), play one or two families for an hour, then head to bed.
What is your routine?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm 8 months pregnant, so I also spend half of my gaming time running to the bathroom lol.

When I get the urge to and it varies between being at night and during the day. On some days it can go both afternoon and evening.

Then I barely play for months on end LOL.

@rh2006fan Lol totally!! I'm the same way!! I'll play for a few weeks straight, then not touch it for awhile. I try to get inspired, but sometimes its hard haha.

I play whenever I feel the urge. I have no real routine.

I have the weirdest sleep schedule because of it.

My gaming routine is usually to leave on Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock matchmaking (barely anyone is online anymore, so it works to do that) and then do revision between games (woop woop GCSEs). I occasionally have "Simming Days" where I just binge play The Sims (usually TS3) all day; sometimes I just go on games at about 6pm to 9pm though (mum and dad kick me off the Xbox 360 to watch TV around 9pm, so I rarely play any later than that on the Xbox). However, I've played The Sims until 1am WAYY too many times! xD

I have no routine. Just play when I feel like it.

HappyPanda

I'm the same as @Jimed , although I don't get a lot of time in between university and work! I just play when I have time and feel like it...

completely and totally random

I usually only play with one Sim family per day, for about two-three hours, at most.

ChelleJo

I get up, turn on pc, get my coffee, and check the Daily Deals. Then I check the forums, facebook, and sometimes twitter (though I do ignore twitter more than check it)....

After that, I really have no routine, especially for getting to play.

Some days I'll jump right in and only get off the game long enough to do laundry or something like that, but will be playing the game for several hours.

Other days, I'll play the game in 1.5 to 2 hour sessions. I'll play for a couple hours, get off, check forums, facebook... about an hour later, I'll start my game again for another couple hours...

I love to play at night. Like from 10 pm to say 1 or 2 am.
Sometimes when I'm working outside during the day I dream of being in bed and playing sims on my laptop but when I actually have that chance I just browse the web

Haha me too!! Some days I plan in my head what I'm going to do in the game that night, get super pumped up, then end up barely playing lol.

I usually game at night because texas heat/night owl. I'll browse the forums and tumblr a bit before playing. The hard part is deciding on what game to play since Sims isn't the only game I play.

I like to play in the afternoons, and I usually play only after I've finished my work (if I have work) and done my daily French practice on Duolingo. I always clear all my cache files before starting the game (I play Sims 3). This way I can enjoy gorgeous graphics with none of the lag

And when I'm done with Sims, if I don't go and do something else, I usually switch over to my iPhone for Alto's Adventure and Minecraft Pocket Edition...

I know this comment is SUPER late, but I don't exactly have a schedule. The only game I really play i The Sims 4, and I just play that whenever I get bored or get inspired to do something in my game. I mostly play in the mornings, as I am usually up before my parents and it gives me some me-time. :smiley:

Archivist

On weekday nights, I lull myself to sleep watching a montage of old Sims screenshots. Then on weekends, I play for 12 minutes before getting interrupted and forget to save my game.
