    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    Recently I have found myself playing almost everyday but this is after I took a month and a half break from playing. There are times I will get burned out on playing and will have to give myself a break.

      I recently returned to the game after several months away due to health issues; before that I was playing just about every day, now I'm down to 3-4 times a week because I'm busy with life stuff. :|

      Everyday because of the pandemic. There is not much to do because nothing is open. My job ended because of the pandemic. I am still adjusting. I got another job right away but I work from home now and I have more free time. Yeah, so I play a lot now or at least until I find another computer games that interests me. Ooblets looks interesting but will wait for reviews before dropping $25 on an early release game.

      I play most evenings as part of my wind down routine at the end of the day. Sometimes I have something else I need to do that goes late, or I just decide that I don't want to play - usually when my stories are in holding patterns, which doesn't help them get out of it.

      I said 7 days because that's typical, I can usually find at least an hour to fire up either TS3 or TS4 (although if it's only an hour I have, then it's likely going to be 4 since 3 takes 15+ minutes to load! :D ) It's not always like this either, I've missed months in the past and I'm sure it will happen again. This is just what is happening right now.

      I do take breaks and skip random days, but lately with the pandemic, there's not much else to do anyways.

      Used to play everyday before Eco Lifestyle came out, but do to the bugs and refusal to address those bugs I now play the game maybe once a week... or less.

      Almost every day winding down after work or on my lunch break. Over quarantine I could literally play all day every day but I think I burned my self out a bit and now I'm back at work and sometimes have other bits to do after work. Today I knew I wouldn't get a chance to play though so I had a little play around over breakfast haha

      I actually play 3 days per week. Sometimes I'll play more times per week after I get off from work because the Sims 4 is super relaxing for me.

      I usually play for a few hours first thing in the morning but if I can't do that then I play for an hour to an hour and a half late at night.

      It varies, but right now I’m playing a couple of times a day.

      I used to play more often, but the current bugs in the game make me not want to play. :/

      It depends. Some days, weeks, and months I have more free time than others. I also have other games to play that I could prefer, but I clearly have played plenty after 6 years of the Sims 4.

      If I had to name any kind of trend, other than a sporadic urge to play if the inspiration strikes, is based around the new packs. When I see new content that looks cool and I want to play, I cannot really stand to play without it. So, if I am getting a new pack the time between its announcement and my purchase I do not play. However, I give it a fair bit of attention after the purchase.

      It depends. I play at work and it can range from 3-4 days a week for a few months to not at all for a few months and then back. I play when I get the chance to sit down for a game for awhile, but that's not always easy.

      Unfortunately just once or twice a week. I would love to play a bit more, like 3 or 4 times a week, but that's not possible due to real life situations.

      I used to play every day but I'm playing a story and the amount of pictures I had started to overwhelm me so now I've narrowed it down to: whenever I REALLY feel like it or when one of my characters' pictures run out.

      When I still had a normal life before Corona, I could only play 1-2 times a week.
      Now I have more time.

      Only because of the incessant crashes I've been experiencing on PS4 since April.
      Crashed 3 times today and twice yesterday. That's my limit. Only had the game for a year and coivd has finally given me the time to get into it but it's broken.

      I'm playing an other game too, so I switch everyday and have a break from it. This prevent me from too much thinking about the games and having therefore sleepless nights because of what should I do next thoughts.

      It varies for me. There are periods where I play it daily, then months can pass without touching it, and when I eventually pick it up again, I'm back to daily basis.

      It just depends. I've lost both of my parents in 2016... I don't think I played regularly at times then. I also took some time off a few times that probably was at least a month. I missed the toddler patch. I didn't buy Cats and Dogs on release... but got it half off. I had surgery sometime in 2018 and yeah... I doubt I played it then because I couldn't sit in the same position for long periods.. and really the list goes on.
      I enjoy the game when I play it ... it can be very often and even obsessively or I might be doing something else for awhile. I've even enjoyed a few other games since the Sims 4 was released!

      Yeah, I cycle in and out of playing it. Right now, I'm booting the thing up about twelve times a week, but last month I didn't play it atall.

      I should have maybe picked 1-2 times a week or other. I play more when I'm into it but sometimes can take a few months break. So I kind of replied how often I play when I play.

      I practice binge playing :smiley: I take occasional longer breaks every once in a while and other times I play daily.
