    I've taken a week off work to play ts3
    ...i'm starting to think maybe i should go outside or something...i haven't driven my car since friday (coming home from work!) :shock:

    has anyone else taken a considerable amount of time off to play?

      Thankfully I've been getting a couple days off from work since there's not a lot for me to do and orders haven't been flying in like usual. So instead I've been playing the sims 3 for hours.

      For the first couple of days I was totally addicted, only left my room for the bathroom and the kitchen. And then I finally got out and realized how much of the actual world I missed so ... it's hard trying to balance real life with fantasy life.

      All in all I spent a good 20-30 hours playing the sims since last Friday to Tuesday.

      Nope... I dont feel the need to take time off for gaming, but I have been playing it daily after work and after all my real life commitments.

      It just gets scary when you realise your sims have more of a real life than you do haha

      I took some of my vacation days beginning the day the game was released. It was wonderful. I went back to work this past Monday.

      I haven't taken any days off intentionally because I have no vacation time to spare. I was home sick the other day and I played TS3 most of the time then. There's a rumor at work that they might make us take a week unpaid vacation due to budget problems, so if that happens I'll use those days to play TS3 (as I can't afford to go out at all).

      Myself, I can't since I have children, but even I'm dreaming of it and when I'm in the gym I look at people (IRL) and think they all look like Sims. Also I love the workout music on the Sim TV, "Techay techay la la lu worka worka goin baga glu...... touch, touch, touchay workay"

      I did not have to take off work to play, but I have the advantage of being retired--so my simming hours could increase as needed. And believe me they did. Just looking at the undone chores around my house proves it. My sim has a maid--I don't. At least the long sleeping time for sims does give one a chance to visit the loo, take ashower or make a sandwich--but i am not addicted to playing. I just need a bit of time to learn and enjoy the learning curve of this game. Things will return to normal

      As a stay-at-home mom, there is no time off for me. I get my fix during nap time after the little ones in bed.
