When you have a day off and you lounge around pretending you're going to read or watch TV until the second your spouse leaves the house at which time you make a mad dash for the computer and play 9 hours straight until you hear the garage door open. At which time you grab the iPad and run for the couch to pretend you've been reading all day.
In the old(er) days when we read actual hard copy books, the significant other would say, "Yeah, you're still on the same page you were on when I left. And you're holding the book upside down. Nice try."

Isn't this when you say "Actually, I finished that book a couple hours ago. This is a different book, I just switched the covers to confuse you."
Of course, that only works if it's a hardcover book. Paperbacks kind of ruin that excuse by not having removable covers.

Unlurking to say this thread is fun to read! Where I work, there is this "points" program that customers can sign up for called "*Perks". We are supposed to ask each customer if they have Perks and I almost asked "Do you have sim points". I caught myself before I said "sim".
I'm the last person in the world to be considered fashion conscious (is there such a thing as fashion unconscious?), but I just came across someone on screen wearing black and white thick horizontal stripes on their top (casual shirt) and the same vertically for their bottoms (shorts). Or maybe it was the other way around, is this a "thing" now? Anyway, I immediately decided that the fit and cut were fine but the stripe combo looked horrible on them so instinctively reached for the mouse to bring them into Plan Outfit, MC Stylist, testingcheats anything, for a quick CASt adjustment. Unfortunately what I was seeing was a video and had nothing to do with sims, so I wasn't very successful.
When you are happily simming and brought your favorate Sim family to the 10th generation finally, only for the alarm to go off and you wake up in bed. Then when you sign into TS3 what annoys you most isn't that you were dreaming of playing TS3, but that you'll now have to redo those 8 generations to get back to where you were before waking up since your Sim family is only on the 2nd generation.

I love playing though I always kept getting mixed up in the early days and would end up trying to play TS2 on TS3 which never worked until my TS3 game got so heavily Modded.I can still be playing open world TS2 in my SIms 3 game with the Mods and my story progression settings.I've loaded my game up thinking I would play TS2 and wondered when open world was added to Sims2.It turned out I'd actually loaded my heavily Modded TS3 game up.
I would play each family though each day in TS2 though when playing rotationally there though time is global in TS3 so I can play each day with one of my local town families though I'd rejoin them after playing the other families for a few days and they've been progressing while I was playing the other households.
I also spend too much time loading my game with tons of CC and with too many Mods.
When you're reading a book and you can only picture the characters as Sims as opposed to actual humans Who am I kidding, Sims are actual humans? Right? Also when you spend 3-4 hours creating each Sim as each and every detail has to be perfect.
when your old normal laptop can't play the sims, therefore, causing sims 3 playing withdraw causing you to decide to ask for a credit increase on your credit card so you can buy a gaming laptop and pay the bill off $100 dollars at a time.
"But I need a Radeon HD 6770 graphics card (okay, this was many years ago) for work." Even though the work I do certainly involves computers, it has nothing whatsoever to do with graphics or design, but that was what I kept telling myself back then.
When you see the word "whoo-hoo" or "woo-hoo" (meant as a cheer of excitement) but you can only think of the totally different connotation it has in the Sims.

Am i the only one that wakes up thinking about who's life you can destroy in sims today... I mainly just think about the crazy things i can do in sims at weird hours. :D
When Your computer(s!) break down, live in purgatory for two months, and You wonder if You'll ever be able to concoct a spell to pull them out from eternal doom.
-Then You go out for a beer, just because You managed to do just that after two months of chaos, mayhem and the rest of their demonish siblings.
When you become so attached to your favourite sim, you feel so identified with her that you feel almost like certain choises you take for her in the game sort of reflects on your own life, every disicion becomes meaningful.... I mean when you play with a sim a really long time, at some point you just stop to improvize because it's too important!
When the sim you've been following and guiding for months (or years) dies of old age, and it sends you the player into a bout of depression because it feels like you lost a dear friend.

I know that feeling. I even made a slideshow of the sim's life. RIP Caleb Singleton.
I often walk outside, look at the sky, and wonder if I have a lighting mod installed because it's bright outside. I can't count how many times I've done this. Especially weird, considering I've never had a lighting mod in my game before!
You know you're addicted when you not only play Sims 3, but also are playing (on rare occasion) Sims 4, Sims Medieval, and because you STILL can't get enough of simming you also started playing The Guild 2.

Even worse when this happens in real life...
