I've had it since 2010....Played it actively on and off...The tab says 2419 hours, but it's probably more as I didn't use origin the first year or so, when I played it a lot.
Edit: I had it since new year 2010, which makes that I (on average) played 42 minutes a day, with those 2419 hours. When I count from when I had this particular account, 68 minutes/day
But considering the fact that I’ve had this game since opening day 2009 and have been playing off and on ever since then i’d say 500 hours at least if not more.

But in my defense I commented a few years ago
Says 2,408 hours.
Its gotta be more than though.I've had it since 2009.
Cause according to google 2,408 = about 100 days.
There's no way I've only played a 100 days, that's less than a year.
@Nikkei_Simmer What makes you drool made my mom furious. Especially as he often returned home with the plane in a shopping bag...
Edit: Gaah... Boy and their toys...
@jillbg ~sigh~ @Featherbelle wasn't too happy when I wanted a 1/32 scale Tamiya (plastic model kit) F-14A Tomcat, then about $200.00 worth of resin model kit parts (bombs, decals, conversion kits and other items) on top of that. At one point, the Tamiya 1/32 F-14 was over $200.00 in price. It was something that I had been eyeballing for years.
The infuriating part for her now was the fact that I spent all this money on it (during the last decade) and now I'm too dam scared to build it. It's an intimidating beast, especially for a scale modeller who hasn't built much of anything recently. I used to build a lot in 1/48 scale when I was a young teen (not so young any more. body in my late 40s; mentally, my wife says I'm 12).
That won't be the case with a gaming PC however... Intimidated, but not scared of building a PC.

Sims 4 at 2400+ hours just passed Sims 3 at 2300+ hours. But I used to play sims 3 outside of Origin before that, so the real number for Sims 3 is easily double that, and so many people are in the 100s but I'm not in denial... I know I play too much.
Too many hours to count. It allowed players to be so much more creative and it had so much content...I still go back to it every now and then, but it's still a bit laggy on my new laptop and that's what ruined the game for me in the past.
Like many I don't play through Origin but the number of hours i've played are way too many to count. I've played pretty much daily, for at least a couple hours, since launch till now. I have to imagine its a huge number.
Have a super fantastic awesome splendid amazing day! -TheQxxn
Not many at last count. Trying to get all the packs back. I am sure that will go up. In comparison, I have over 1600 hours playing Sims 2 and 72 hours playing Sims 4.
Something is up with Origin. I played all day yesterday and early this morning and Origin didn't update the number of hours. I have restarted Origin and it still isn't showing the correct number of hours. Help?
I thought I'd be seeing some ridiculous bigger values in this thread but it's 6,450 hours for me and I feel fine.
Also Origin sometimes will stop counting hours in TS3 in particular only to start again whenever it feels like (or maybe after a client update). I dunno if anyone else has experienced that but I think it was supposed to be a warning.
959 since 2012 when I started using the origin launcher. But I took several years off because my computer was the Ruby 3000 and really couldn't run anything besides super basic games.
Since the last time I posted on this thread, my hours on Origin have increased to 4778. Add 423 hrs when I used to play on Steam, and who knows how many hours between the time I switched to Origin the time the last patch forced me to log into Origin to play. And I still have Store worlds I haven't played in...
5415 hrs in 1 yr and 11 months - (I've owned the game (on disc) since January 2017; I've played about 250 hrs on disc alone (without going with Origin); Now my tabulation since I've been on Origin has been the above 5400+ number) 2 bouts with pneumonia in those two plus years; long convalescence time - if this keeps going, I'm going to end up over 10,000hrs by 2020.
Wish I could be out doing real-world photography right now, but... at least Sims 3 is keeping me from going completely INSANE. ~thinks for a moment~...
If I'm already half-insane...does that count?

Well, my origin hours went up just a smidge since my original post here way back in 2014. Origin went up to 4,592 (from 2). I don't know when I started playing origin so I don't know how much that covers. But I still have *at least* 5 years unaccounted for because I was playing disc only.
And I switched to Steam almost a year and a half ago, I'm at 1,043 there.
So that's 5,365 hours accounted for. I really don't want to know what I got up to before Origin and Steam lol. I played a lot more back then (like so so much more). Now feel like I never play, it blows my mind that I've reached a thousand hours in a year and a half. It feels like I should have like 50 hours.
Haha! I was reading the hours reported here, slightly shocked at the amounts, and then I got to thinking about how steam counts play time and slowly realised that the number must reset when installing a client on a new computer as well as not counting/counting differently when playing offline, and by this time I get very quiet when I understand that there is no knowing my actual play time. And if all the time spent on reading about the game as well as hanging out on the different forums is accounted for I think this all counts towards madness if anything so my sim-trait 'instable' has now given me the new trait of 'insane'.
