    I actually switched from the sims 3 to the sims 4 during the quarantine due to a friends suggest. But I do miss my sims 3 families. And the way things were in the sims 3. Despite the crashes and save errors I still struggle with in the sims 3.

    I've been toying with the idea of installing the Sims 4 but I think I love Sims 3 too much ahah. and there's so much I've got to discover :)

    my users are little children (okay, they are attorneys) who have no idea how to function in a sudden new environment even though they were prepared for this. If I gave them one screen with nothing but a big red button in the middle and a label that says "click this," they would all be calling, emailing, and texting me asking what in the world they were supposed to do,

    lol!

    Never stopped, and I don't have any extra time to play as I'm essentials services, so not home any more than normal. Glad to see some coming back though. Someone is always around if you need help. :smiley:

    My wife is also essential services as she works in a store that contains a pharmacy - her hours have increased to “full eights”. ~sigh~ @bekkasan, stay safe; keeping fingers crossed for your safety and hers.

    Yup!!! I’ve had some weird lag with my new computer (i5, GeForce GTX 1050 card) and i took the time to change a bunch of settings (some guide on steam had me coding!)and codes to get it to work beautifully. Game looks awesome and runs awesome. Only wish i could’ve fixed visual testing without having to switch to windowed mode

    Never stopped! :)
    I´m actually playing less, because I´m going to work like usual. I work in the office of an industrial laundry service, we provide and do the laundry (bedding, towels and stuff, also work wear) of hospitals and retirement/nursing homes, no home office possible. The work load has actually increased, because even if my country is not hit as hard as others for now (fingers crossed), frantic customers keep phoning me for isolation material they want to hoard like other people toilet paper "just in case".

    Of course, when I´m done, I stay at home, but that´s nothing new. :D
    But I´m a lot more tired than usual, also the weather is just brilliant, so I prefer doing stuff in the garden to staring at a screen. (All my neighbours also do stuff in the garden VERY LOUDLY. I had to put in ear plugs).

    I can't since EA hasn't updated the game to 64-bit for Catalina. They announced the update back in October and it's now April and there's still nothing.

    No formal announcements that I know of, but we did get a post from an EA staff member associated with the project a few weeks ago on EA's Answers.HQ board indicating that it is still in progress. The current worldwide situation can't be speeding things up in any way, but it was nice to hear that it wasn't set on the back burner or abandoned either.

    I never stopped playing it. I also play 2, 4 and Medeival but mostly 3.

    I never stopped playing but I’m playing my usual amount. Most of the time, I play a few hours a day but if I have something to do or don’t feel like it, I take a day or two break.

    I have tried and tried to get into the Sims 4, but I just don't like it. I am under stay at home orders which makes weekends pretty boring. I do work from home during the week. I also upgraded my laptop about 3 months ago. I finally got all the packs downloaded, my saves downloaded. I own 100% of Sims 3, every pack, every set, every content. I have fired up the Sims 3 which plays so much better on my new laptop, and town is so rich. I also use NRAAS mods that I just copied over from my other laptop. Sims 3 is so rich and full of life compared to Sims 4.

    Agreed 100%! I already have all I could imagine wanting in all my Sims 3 expansions and I, too, tried to get into TS4. I even got the base game as a starter set of a couple of other stuff packs, but decided not to continue and uninstalled it from my computer.

    Yes, now I finally have the time to get back into playing! Was enjoying it for a couple of days before my game decided it hated me. It keeps crashing and the lag, oh gosh the lag! :P
    Trying to fix it currently

    I have never stopped playing since the beginnig, It seems I never grow tried of the Sims. I have both sims 3 and, but I mostly play sims 3, something about sims 4 I just cant seem to play. I havent played sims 4 in awhile. I am always on Sims 3, I guess I could say I play sims 3 everyday. takes me away from the real world for awhile.

    I started playing Sims 3 a couple days ago. Not played for years. Only installed the ambitions and generations expansion packs. No mods no cc. Really enjoying it. Game running smoothly. No crashes and no lag. Story progression appears to be working! :)

    I've been playing the sims 3 for a long time but now, I'm currently playing the sims 4, and then, I'm planning to come back to the sims 3. The sims 3 is my best sims pack but I also don't mind playing the sims 4. But with the recent patch update in the sims 4, there are lots of bugs around it. I feel like the sims 4 has MORE bugs than the sims 3 now.
