How often do you play The Sims?
Not necessarily sims 4 but any sim game from 1 - 4.

1- Do you play daily?
2- How long is your shortest play session?
3- How long is your longest play session?
4- What Sims game do you currently play more?
5- What Sims games have you played in 2015?

I will put my own answers and would love to read all about your gaming sessions.

1- I play daily but I play more during weekends and holidays
2- My shortest session is 1 hour and that is my daily play session
3- My longest session can go up to 5 hours during weekends and holidays
4- I currently play TS4 more
5- In 2015 I have been playing TS4 and TS2
Everything I post is an opinion here and I think every post of others is as well.

    1) I tend to play in bursts. Seems to be for about a month and then I go and play other stuff, for a few months. When I am on a burst, then definitely daily. I actually don't really ever quit the game unless I want to install a mod or do a repair if the game goes squirrely. So the game is always running.

    2) a couple of minutes
    3) days with bio breaks :)
    4) 4
    5) 2 & 3, but not much

    I'll play.

    1- Do you play daily? At the moment I don't, but I have a very good reason. I now have a proper gaming PC, so I'm now including a couple of racing games in the mix. And... wait for it... I'm going to reinstall The Sims 3 this weekend just to see how it runs on the new system.
    2- How long is your shortest play session? One hour. I stopped because I found a little time to play before The Flash and iZombie were coming on TV that evening.
    3- How long is your longest play session? I once played for four hours, but most of that time was spent building a home.
    4- What Sims game do you currently play more? The Sims 4, by default.
    5- What Sims games have you played in 2015? The Sims 4, but that will change this weekend.

    1- Do you play daily?
    No. Some days I simply don't have a sizable block of leisure time: I work full-time (for myself), often with overtime, and I have a family too. Some days I do something else with that block of time: read, take photos or process them, watch TV or a movie, play tabletop games, go out with family or friends. But I don't have other games I play, so if my leisure time does go to gaming, it's to this. I do sometimes play two or three days in a row, though.

    2- How long is your shortest play session?
    I don't play at all if I don't have at least an hour and a half at my disposal.

    3- How long is your longest play session?
    I've played for as long as three hours before taking a significant break, and as long as six or seven in a day overall, if I've been on a sick day.

    4- What Sims game do you currently play more?
    Sims 4

    5- What Sims games have you played in 2015?
    Sims 4

    Question #1- Do you play daily?
    Answer #1- I play daily, and my husband plays Fallout 4 and Elder Scrolls Online everyday, so I try to fill up what time he's playing with TS4.

    Question #2- How long is your shortest play session?
    Answer #2- My shortest play session was yesterday (Christmas). Family, In-Laws, and cousins were here all day so I only got to play for about 20 minutes.

    Question #3- How long is your longest play session?
    Answer #3- My longest play session- eh, every day tends to be the same amount. I play about 2 hours in the morning, go to work, come back, spend time with my hubby, and then play about 3 to 4 hours at night before I go to bed.

    Question #4- What Sims game do you currently play more?
    Answer #4- I play all of them in TS4 series at the moment. I have all the expansions, stuff packs, world bundles, and store content from TS3, and all the EPs and SPs from TS2; although I regret giving our Sims 1 collection away.

    Question #5- What Sims games have you played in 2015?

    Answer #5- This current year I've mostly played TS4 when the stuff packs started coming out. Before that I was playing TS2 mostly, which I did go back and play TS3 for about 2 weeks back in March before we got our taxes back. I bought Simcity 2013, but I only played it for about 2 days and gave it away because it was a horrible city simulation game.

    1. Do you play daily? Usually. I miss time for a week or so here and there if I'm playing something else, but aside from the Sims I don't regularly play other games.
    2. How long is your shortest play session? Probably around 15 minutes (maybe shorter with 64-bit). Short sessions are usually used for "maintenance" activities like removing townies I don't recognize (if I can't recall who they are, they don't matter enough to take up valuable slots), making over a townie or two, tweaking a build/house if I had a sudden idea, or after GT creating a townie club.
    3. How long is your longest play session? Much of a day when I was sick and it was miserable outside.
    4. What game do you currently play more? Sims 4 is all I have left :( . I lost my beloved Sims 2 discs in the years I was moving all the time (I lived in 5 cities in the ten years after I finished uni). Sims 3 isn't for me. I've vaguely thought of getting the whole Sims 3 for cheap since I quit early, but I don't have a gaming rig to play it on (a super fancy laptop for sure, but desktops just aren't for me anymore - I'm not a real gamer anymore).
    5. What Sims games have you played in 2015? Sims 4. See above.

    FWIW, I got the base game of Sims 2 cheap and EA support upgraded it to the full version with all packs, etc. for free for me.

    1 - I don't play every day. I play when I can. Sometimes I even take a week (or more) breaks randomly.
    2 - I have played for like 15 minutes once. I just didn't feel like playing for longer.
    3 - A year or two ago I spent whole day playing Sims 3 Pets on the Xbox. I played Sims 3 on the PC for like 5 hours. Sims 4 also about 5 hours.
    4 - I only play Sims 4 as of now.
    5 - I played Sims 3 for like 10 minutes but I stopped because it was too laggy. I played Sims 4 A LOT.
    Hello, good evening and welcome! My name is TheDinorhino but you can call me Dino for short. I love playing The Sims, especially designing and building within the game. Check out my YouTube channel if you want:https://youtube.com/channel/UCh16nY5NDnDUqzwTl0LC9Fg

    1- Do you play daily?
    No, more like once every few days. I wish I had the time to play daily lol.

    2- How long is your shortest play session?
    Once recently I opened the game, saw that all my toddlers were upset and crying, said "screw this" and promptly turned it off. So maybe 20 seconds?

    3- How long is your longest play session?
    Oh god, probably upwards of 10 hours. I have no life.

    4- What Sims game do you currently play more?
    The Sims 3. I tried to get into TS4, I really did, but it does nothing for me. I don't enjoy it like I enjoy TS3.

    5- What Sims games have you played in 2015?
    TS3, TS4 and (wait for it) The Sims 2 Castaway! hahah
