How often do you play TS4?

StrawberryYogurt · October 2021

On average biweekly (every 2 weeks,not twice in a week)

DoloresGrey · October 2021

It depends.Now I am in my happy days phase so I play about 2 hours a day. Sometimes even more.

Calico45 · October 2021

I take spurts. I have a lot of time in 4. Well over 1000 hours. However, I don't have regular enough free time to guarantee I can play a game every two weeks, and if I do it may not be 4. However, when I do play it is usually for quite a while.

11+ over a two week period.

I usually play 1-2 hours during the week with longer sessions on the weekend.

WildIrishBanshee · October 2021

I have like 10k hours into Sims 4...and probably more than that including offline time.

Simburian · October 2021

I usually fire it up every evening and send it to desktop when a TV programme I want to watch comes on or I need to eat something, wash up etc, etc. It's something now to build up bit by bit, slowly like a hobby. I don't knit!

Sindocat · October 2021

A couple times a week, on average, for roughly three to four hours at a stretch. Sometimes more, but I have other things making demands on my time - even game time.

I can't answer. Sometimes I play a lot, almost every day (this can last for months) and then there can be weeks or months when I only check for updates.

FanPhoria · October 2021

Honestly really sure how to answer, as I tend to go through long periods of not playing at all, however when I do play, it tends to be lot. So, it'll usually be something like pretty heavy usage for a month or two, and then absolutely nothing for a few months after that, and repeat, with some variation on the lengths of both periods of time.

3- 4 times a week unless I’m working. Then it’s only weekends. Number of hours varies. If I’m home it can be 11+ hours every two weeks. If I’m working it can be 0 hours. I split the difference in the poll.

logion · October 2021

These last few months I have gone from playing it a couple of times a week to only play it to check out updates or new packs. These last few weeks I have barely played the game. I haven't updated the game and I have not bought any kits.

The game has become, very, boring for me sadly. Kits was probably the worst decision Maxis could have made for people like me.

EnkiSchmidt · October 2021

I do something sims related everyday (blogging, captioning screenshots for myself, drawing family trees, planning elections, writing mini challenges). As for actually playing the game, maybe four days out of seven. I could be anywhere in the 6-8, 9-10 or 11+ hours brackets (voted 9-10).

texxx78 · October 2021

I haven't played at all in the last months, since the release od DHD. Haven't bought the last game pack nor the last expansion pack (i have all the other packs besides JtB). I also haven't bought kits (i only have BtD, and i disabled it a few weeks after buying it). I've lost interest in sims 4. Because the game is still in development, deep down in my heart, i hope that the focus of the developers/company changes in order to make it more a game and less shallow/just looks. After all i've spent 600+ euros in it

But the truth is i don't believe it will happen. So, i happily play 3 everyday, now that it is super stable with nraas mods and a good, recent gaming pc.

Jyotai · October 2021

I'm still a "New Player" so I still have things I can discover here. So I do open the game up rather frequently and just mess around for a bit.

Sometimes it will be open all day long in the background. I work from home on a work computer and my personal PC's monitor is right behind that so I often have things up on 4 screens all at once around me - with one of those possibly containing the sims on pause while work is active.

It's a great platform for that kind of thing - short glance overs when your mind needs a tiny mini-break.

MDianaSims · October 2021

It really depends, sometimes I don't or barely play for weeks on end, and sometimes I binge play an entire weekend.
But I haven't played much the past year and a half - and it's mostly due to the game being so incredibly bugged and needing a ton of mods to fix some of it and constantly having to update those mods. I really just want a game I can load and play, not one I need to do a lot of stuff for before I can play it the way I like.

Isharell · October 2021

On good gaming weeks, I'll play both days on the weekend, 3 or more hours per session, and on great gaming weeks I'll also play one or two evenings for a couple of hours.

Simmingal · October 2021

I'm confused by options but usually I play couple hours a day unless I'm taking longer break or having other stuff to do with that time

this month I've been playing much less though because I've sort of overdone my Cottage Living and it got bit overwhelming

just feels bit like having too many tabs open at once but I'm sure it gets better when i start wrapping the story up

SERVERFRA · October 2021

Alot of hours.

MoonlightGraham · October 2021

I'm still thinking about how to cast my vote.

If reading and posting in this forum count as "playing," then I'm 11+ biweekly, easy. If having the game open so I can create Sims in CAS or browse the Gallery for cool uploads counts, then, again, I'm 11+ with hours to spare.

If I interpret "playing" in the strictest manner possible--actually controlling a household and progressing through a save--I'm probably 6-8 or 9-10 hours biweekly. There are, however, fortnights when I'm definitely averaging an hour a day.

Clousinators · October 2021

I am a creature of habit... I play almost every day since the beginning of 2020 and even before then it was pretty often. I've been slowing down and playing less more recently. I am getting excited for the release of some new games.

CAPTAIN_NXR7 · October 2021

I could build or play out a story for about 5-8 hours a day and have done so before at intervals, but as of late I’ve become an extremely irregular player. That’s not because I don’t want to sit and play the sims or other games all day! I do. I do.

At certain times of the year I’m required to invest time in many other things and after that I spend whatever leisure time I’ve left in the great outdoors (because needing fresh air is a thing) and when that’s done I’m absolutely wrecked and too tired to play games.

My niece has this Hermione Granger Time Turner thingie hanging around her neck which I’ve been trying to steal off her so I can see if it works. So far she hasn’t been impressed with my many attempts to nick it, but she doesn’t understand that adult adults actually need double the time available to get done what needs to be done. That includes having fun! 😋

ncisGibbs02 · October 2021

I don’t play 4 regularly. I might have a few days of playing then leave it for a while. I think it adds up biweekly when I average my plays out.

I played a lot when Oasis Courtyard Kit came out, practically every day for a fortnight as I loved the Moroccan accents and had a lot of fun mixing up the furniture in different styles of houses and community lots.

I liked Industrial Loft Kit but with only one window it was hard to get into that more. I ended up just using the bedroom furniture in regular builds. So I played less.

At the moment I haven’t loaded it in two weeks as I’m playing 3.

GalacticGal · October 2021

I play daily unless something gets in my way. Not every two weeks. DAILY. You didn't include such an option. Or you could have listed it as how many times (or hours) a week do you play, then go to biweekly, then monthly, bimonthly, etc. But, yeah, I've got a lot going on in my Main game save and I am going to leave the forums, now, so I can start playing today! Byee.
