What is the longest length of time you have spent playing Sims 3?!

[kat]

Be honest now....

[Carl]

20 hours. Early on, anyway. I've settled down a bit by now.

[Pam]

Wow, good question!  I haven't clocked myself, but sometimes it feels like I spend every waking hour with my Sims!  I've only played Sims 3, though, so I'm immensely fascinated by all of it and really excited about World Adventures coming out next month!  

[Metropolis Man]

In one single sitting I assume? Hmmm...maybe 3 or 4 hours.  I do play a lot — I can afford to being a stay-at-home dad where 2 of my older daughters are at school all day and the youngest daughter is in preschool half the day. But, there's still cleaning, laundry, cooking, errands, playing with the little one in the afternoon, etc, etc. And feeding my Diablo II obsession too.

Good question!  Wow Carl!  And I thought I was bad at sometimes 12 hr sessions.    These sessions happened quite frequently, especially during sims 2 every time an ep would come out. 

Now that I'm at home all the time, it seems like it's harder because of chores to do first, most of the time...sometimes maybe.   I still manage to get in a 12 hr session once in awhile, but mostly 4-5 hrs. now.

Hehe wow Carl  - 20 hours!!!!
I have a house, hubby and baby to look after so can't spend as long as I would like, but have spent about 3-4 hours on it...oops! Back when I was a wee lass and playing the sims 1, I sometimes spent 6-7 hours on it without realising.

[PJSim]

Hmm, I don't know. I don't think I can top Carl but a whole day sometimes on weekends I suppose. I don't have any kids so I can waste my time any way I want.

When Sims 3 first came out I was so excited that I spent all day playing. I woke up at six am played all day(occasionally running to the kitchen for food/water and went to bed at ten that night so I could work the next day. Soooo...sixteen hours, minus five minutes here or there for required breaks...

[Carl]

Ah, someone will come in who tops me. Someone really obsessed who got it the day it came out and all that. I mainly did that when I was working to launch a few guides on my old web site. I didn't know at the time that the gardening guide alone, in its infant form would top every other work I'd written in the past five years. Now that I've put in hundreds of hours into the game, I keep it at about 4 or 5 hours. The expansion is going to take some energy drinks

[igzigpuff]

Hmmm...not sure about the number of hours.  When I first got the game and I had the first weekend off to play I remember starting in the morning on Saturday and remember having to turn the lights on because it was dark....then having to turn the lights off because it was daylight on Sunday.  So I might be right up there with Carl or even have him beat!   

[Sportsfan]

And I get last place with 2 hours! (I'm not allowed to used the computer for any more than that)

[jeanamariex3]

I think I spent 4am playing Sims 3. No I lied, 5:30 am.

[Choccolatee]

Longest length of time? The whole afternoon. Which was about 6 hours. 

[Seabody]

A good 14 hours. Minus maybe an hour to have a break.

[Sophie98]

Not long. Four hours, maybe, with my brother when we first bought the game.
Unfortunately, even in the summer when I don't have seven hours of school plus one hour travelling, my mum insists I eat, sleep, communicate and get some exercise, to the extent of making up a shopping list and sending me down to the shops with it. I can't play for more than 2 hours now before my mum tells me I'll be fat and/or my brother insists he wants to go on.
