    I'm 31. Been playing since I was 11 with Sims 1 (to think that game was so amazing at the time is funny). Super excited for this pack. Looks like a good one.

    That's amazing! I'm really happy to see how this game can make so many people's lives better. It can really help us escape from the tough reality sometimes.

    I've been playing for about 15 years now. I'm 24 and started playing Sims 1 when I was 9.

    I'm 39 and I started playing The Sims in 2000 with a cousin that's 3 years under me. So we've been playing for 19 years as well. I have gotten a lot of my family hooked on it as well. They would come over for family gatherings, and I'm in my room for the most part playing away. All my little cousins are sitting there watching me play. It's a wonderful game. And I'll continue as it grows!!

    Thats what I love the most about the sims its like a get away from real life. I've been playing it since I was 6, im 21 now. It has been quite a yourney. From burning the whole house down and killing half a family in the sims 1 from building a new house for a big family today in the sims 4. I cant see myself not playing the game. For the franshise will continue.

    I turned 40 last week, and have been playing since the Sims 1 launched. I remember the EBGames employee telling me he couldn't believe people would want to play a game like the Sims. :D Back then I was all about making my own skins and such so there would be more options for customization, though now I let other more capable people do those things.

    I've been playing since just before Sims 4 was launched...5 years or 6, not sure. My granddaughter introduced me to the game, before that I didn't know Sims even existed. She had it on disc and urged me to try it for a while, "I just know you'll like it Gramma" she'd say. She was right, and I was hooked. I waited until Sims 4 was released to buy my own. I never tire of it, and have every expansion, game and stuff pack. I'm 65.

    We bought TS1 when it first came out for my oldest daughter's 13th birthday. I started out just watching her play, then she asked if I wanted to try. From that moment on I was hooked. Our entire family played for a time, but now I'm the only one that still plays every day. I was 38 at the time, now I'm 57 and have three grandchildren with another one on the way. The Sims has enriched and enhanced my life in so many ways over the years, I can't imagine life without it. I just love it and hope it continues on for many, many more years to come! <3
