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.
Yeah i overthought how to frame the time period π€£π€£ i was thinking weekly at first, then i thought that may be too much then i thought biweekly but actually sounded more complicated than i realized...now i wish i could just delete the poll and reword it π
The Sims has currently lost its identity. Bring it back for TS5
By "play" do you mean the Sims themselves, or does building count? Those are two different answers.
I would think they are the same, as long as you have the game open and running, you are playing the game. Playing in Build mode and creating Sims, is still considered playing just as much as playing in live mode
Wow. So first... it is biweekly and not weekly.
Also... are talking about actually playing the game? or are you talking about building as well?
I mean if you count building then then it is somewhere between 3-6 per week so that would be somewhere between 6-12 hours bi-weekly. Of course, there has been a substantial amount of being flustered in recent months too over trying to get some builds fixed up and things removed from my gallery to be tweaked and re-added but none of that is caught up.
Oh! And I had to go be a groomsman in my best friend's wedding recently. Also been working on a couple of writing projects and other creative production projects a bit more than usual the past month or so. All of those things and other activities have impacted that time period so the 3-6 per week is really an average at best under less than average circumstances.
Were you trying to prove something with the poll? Am I not updating my gallery and builds fast enough for you? Did you put this pole up as opposition research for...
[EDIT] Yes, I was trying to poke some fun at the poll. Because... reasons. [/EDIT]

When I'm playing it actively, I play it a lot. It's my "weekend project" game. But sometimes I'll put it down for a long while so I can play something elseβspent September playing Witcher 3 and most of the past week playing Fallout 4. So it's either "not at all" or "20 hours in a weekend across Saturday and Sunday."

When I did play TS4, I played the game itself for less than an hour because I just had no interest in the game. I spent most of my time in CAS. So, in a 2 week period, I played less than 2 hours, only to check for updates or to add new packs to see if anything would draw me back into the game.
Need to edit this since I finally tried to play Sims 4 and it won't even let me in the game. It's asking me to disable/remove mods I do not even have installed so I can say that I no longer play Sims 3 or 4 on this laptop and it will be at least 2 more years until I can afford another one. So right now I am playing Sims 2.
I play at least once a day, every day unless I can't because I'm not home or am sick. A few times, pre-covid, I've had pneumonia where it was impossible to get out of bed or care about anything. BUT my back goes out often and TS4 saves me from complete boredom.
Check my builds and Sims out on the Gallery, username Lizzychicago!
I play less than an hour when I do play and I'm really trying to play at least once a week for 15-30 minutes, just depends on what is going on in the game. I'm trying to blog my legacy because I want to keep playing it for as long as I can, so I have to play in small spurts and update monthly.
I'm another one who will play a lot at once and then take breaks. Usually, I play more in the winter and fall but it just depends. This year, I had a quieter summer and a busy fall so it flipped around. I tend to play in the winter and then whenever I have time but sometimes I get really into it and play a whole lot for an extended period of time.
It probably depends on how busy my life is but sometimes I get wrapped up in a particular plot. Lately I have a lot going on and I may be replacing my gaming computer so I'm on a bit of a break.
Nope. Honestly, I'm not someone who plays video games anymore. π And deep down, I always am waiting for The Sims 5 to see how that will be like if it were to happen; but at this rate, I think when it does come out, I might not even be bothered. π€§

Actually i hate the poll i wish i could delete the thread π€£πππ but too many ppl have commented. I was going to do
Once a week
Twice a week
3+ etc but i wondered if it that was too short of a time period?? So i thought biweekly?? As soon as a posted it i realized biweekly was quite dumb π€¦πΎββοΈ now im cringing every time i get a notification for this thread lol;;;

Yeah, I was struggling on how to answer the poll. XD To answer, however:
I've been known to take breaks, but when I get really into the game, into creating a story, I'll play easily 5+ hours, between creating/editing Sims and participating in actual gameplay. Haven't done that recently, though.
Not often, I'll update mods and play for a few minutes. Since I finally got Sims 2 and 3 working I'm not as invested in 4 as it's pretty boring in comparison (jmo).
Don't think scenarios will be bringing me back either.
Not nearly enough considering how much I have invested in this game. I was waiting for the new EPs that will be interesting enough to pull me back in, but I have given up now. Too few too far between... But hey we got kits

I used to play a lot, but not as much anymore, even though I own all content. Bugs are starting to bug me.

Maybe how much time spent building and how much time in live mode? Guess you'd have to also add CAS unless you consider that gameplay.
