I'm very nearly 40, but I have played since the release of The Sims in 2000 (former SimCity player) and have owned and played each of the subsequent iterations. Occasionally I've had breaks of 6-12mths here and there, but mostly I've played The Sims consistently for the last 19 years. I also dabbled in a few other simulation games early on in that time - Black & White was a favourite! Simming is not a pastime, its a lifestyle
This exactly for me. So good to know we're not alone
This is surprising! I sometimes feel a little awkward coming here, because I know the series attracts younger players and I am...not, anymore. I was, when this game first came out and I was a kid playing it. Looks like a LOT of former kids are still around though.
I'll be 50 this year in November. I played since the first Sims.
Playtesting - not just tabletop games and card games any more. Really that should have been playtested in Beta and not [img]just with accounting and marketing but actual players. https://i.imgur.com/t48COW6.jpg[/img]
Ooh, I love this poll, being able to vote in a category that includes 39 with 20, (being 35... ) I've played the Sims since 2000 when I was 16/17 and my younger sister introduced me to it. I never got all the packs for Sims 1 and 2 but have everything related to Sims 3 and 4 and will hopefully continue on to have a complete collection when Sims 5 emerges.
70+ I started with the sims as I purchased it for my son and he decided he did not want to play it anymore he wanted to be outside more....He gave it to me. I played it and still do. I then got the sims 2 for my grandson, when he tired of it he gave that to me as with the new microsoft Vista my sims would not play anymore. I then played sims2 then on my own to sims 3 and now sims 4. My favorites are sims 1 and 2. On my new computer I can play The Sims to sims 4 all of them. With windows 10
@sophlesimmer Please don't state your age, as you're a minor. I really wouldn't mind in a real-life situation, but minors aren't allowed to state their age on the forums for their own safety. I advise you to edit your comment and removing the first line or else the moderators might remove your comment entirely. Not my rules. Sorry about that.

I’ve been playing since 2000. Seen it while I was shopping at circuit city. My mother bought it for me for my 14th birthday and I’ve been hooked ever since. My children play it as well now. ☺️
23 here. My brother gave me his Sims 1 Complete Collection when I was little, been with the series ever since.
It seems fitting that my age range would be the most common in the poll. Maybe it's a similar situation for others, who were young when the series first came about and have since grown with it?

I'm probably one of the youngest simmers on here, as I'm still in high school.
(secondary school for any non-Americans. Ages 14-19)
