I'm in my mid twenties. Started playing as a child towards the end of the TS1-era. Played a LOT of TS2 and TS3 back in the days. TS3 is probably my favorite gameplay wise but when I play now a days (not that often) I'll play TS4 to try out new EPs. TS2 is probably the most nostalgic though as that was when I played the most, I remember being like 10-11 and making sims 2 music videos and writing legacy stories, that excitement for the game is sadly gone now...
I wonder if this poll has any representative value but 60%+ of YA and only 11% of teens sounds strange considering the game is marketed toward teens.
On the other hand, it makes perfect sense if a major part of the playerbase started with TS1.

I think it has more to do with the majority of teens and ya's not being on this forum. They are on other forms of social media that appeal more to their generation.
So I don't believe this poll truly represents the actual percentages of age groups playing the sims.
Wow, didn’t expect such a little amount of teens! I just got the Sims 4 about 2 months ago, and I’ve never played any of the previous version before because I was a teeny tiny child when they were out. I’m enjoying playing right now but would've been happy to be a bit older when the first few versions came out just to experience it!
Definitely in my mid-40s.
Playing since the first Sims game released and played one of the Sim City games before that. (Think it was the original but it was a while ago and my memory is not what it use to be.)
Was not able to play much of Sims 2 because trying to play the game on a mac annoyed me. (It was a mac primarily used for work and school.) I didn't own a PC from 2005 till the end of 2016 (though I did have some access to one here and there) so I missed out on Sims 3 when it came out initially. I bought both Sims 3 and Sims 4 around the same time in 2017.
I'll just say there's a Beatles song that will reflect my age on my next birthday. It's a jaunty little tune Paul wrote for his father who had just reached that age.
Is it bad that I almost instantly knew the song and I am not even much of a Beatles fan?

Just turned 42 and I’ve also been playing since the original sims came out and I was in my early 20s. I’ve played every iteration of them and will continue to play them even when I’m older and wrinklier
I'm 29 and I've only been playing since the sims 2 came out. Recently I have convinced my 59 year old mother to play. She loved interior designing so I showed her all the things she can do in the sims. After I assured her that even if all she wanted to do was build, that there are plenty of people who are the same way. I think its great to see some older people like my mother who prove that with this game, how young/old you are you might be able to find something to do in the sims!
I'm sorry I missed the actual voting on this I'm 75...yes, 3/4 of a century....I started The Sims 1 when my youngest daughter brought Sims 1 into my house with a "look at this". Well, I never stopped looking. My husband's biggest worry is that something will go wrong with my Sims game and he'll have to hear all about it. In fact, he backs up the game after every time I play it. Yeah, I can be a real pain if something goes haywire with my Sims

@ClaimingTheFifth I wish I had someone to back up my games for me too. This thread has been going for over two and a half years now and probably a lot of Simmers from April 2019 are now in the next age group and this group would be larger!

Yeah, my oldest daughter ( who also plays the sims 4 ) crossed over the 40 line within this time too.

If you download one of my builds, by all means, leave me a message and tell me what you did and did not like about it.

I also like wandering the hills.

Yes! I'm glad there are some in the community!

This is so funny. 😄
