Just realized yesterday was the anniversary of my first post in this forum 
Curious where others are at regarding hours played, my guess is that I fall in the middle somehwere? But I have no idea 
(to be fair, I also wander away and forget the game is up
and have fallen asleep
so please know this is not a flex of any kind lol)
I’ve played a little over 1700 hours, I’d say effectively, I rarely forget to turn it off by accident because I play on a laptop and you can hear the fan noise a bit 
I don’t play much during the summer months.
108 hours with 90% or so spent in CAS mode and browsing the ingame canvas and mod menu
i dip my toes into the game for an hour or so every patch but iam not going to invest major time on the game until i feel it has enough content
I play on a laptop too but via a connected monitor, so the laptop isn’t near me - maybe if I move it closer, it will help 
Inzoi is still in early access how did you manage to play 3000 hours?

Ha - I thought your Sims was the INZOI 
I check Sims 3 for content recommendations for Inzoi .
I don’t like Sims 4 at all. I don’t see it as a life simulation game. It doesn’t exist for me. 
I have Sims 2, Sims 3, and Inzoi. 
Are you making a Zoi request for Inzoi?
I have a few ideas in mind.
I am not gonna argue with on Sims4 - in the beginning, I was all in on Sims-Sims3 and was wow’d by Sims4 at first but I realizeed it was fairly 2D. In the last 5-7 years, I use it to fall asleep when I can’t soooooooooo 
After playing S4 for awhile, I tried to go back to S3 but thought some of it was over-complicated compared to S4 - but overtime I realized that it was bc S3 was more fun.
I’d say I am 50/50 between CAS & build and the other half generational gameplay. With INZOI is probably 2/3 CAZ and build, and less gameplay but that is changing with the more recent updates.
I’d love to hear your ideas!
I was about 80% in CAZ/build but am starting to slowly change to more generational gameplay after high school update.
I have done fresh installs at least 100 times in the last year, most were obivously a year ago
but when a game is beta, I don’t hold on to anything bc I know there is a good chance it will be lost…been there and have the sad t-shirt 
I save Zois and do re-iterations of my favorite families until I cheat coded too much and break it, then start all over 
I use 1000 mods in Sims 3 and 600 mods in Inzoi. 
I am at 1091 hours for Inzoi now:
@shanonoyouknow I thought that I already have a crazy high number of hours with this game but 3500 - wow 
@Mazikeen I assume your real time with Sims 3 is higher, no? When Sims 3 launched the first years the game was still installed via CDs and there was only the offline game launcher which I think did not count the hours. If I would see my total hours with Sims 3 since the release in 2009 - I think it would be crazy high 
I registered all my Sims 3 games in the EA App later when that App came out and there it started counting from zero - so then same for you with Steam 
So how much have you played Sims 2?
