Do you go through streaks where you play for hours on end and then other times when you hardly touch the game until months later?
Can you pick up with the family you had before while you were addicted or do you have to start over with a new family?

I do that all the time. I could play the Sims for many hours in a day and then not play for a while. It is the most enjoyable and most addicting PC game that I have ever played. I can pick up with the family I was using or switch off to another family.

I get sucked in for hours for about a week then not pick it up for months again.
Its weird how streaks happen.

Yes, I can play for hours at a time, then I lose interest for a little while. I have made so many families that I lost count. Sometimes I can play the families I already made but other times I just start a new one. Are you talking about the original or sims2? I have both but I never play the original anymore.

I play both...but I haven't played with the regular Sims for awhile.
Once I go back to playing after stopping for awhile, picking up the family I had been playing with just doesn't seem to work well.

I love playing the Sims... I can definitely play the game for hours one day and not play it for a week.... I usually stick with one family when I play... it's easier for me.

When I try and go back and play after not playing for awhile I can't seem to pick up with the same family. I feel lost. So I have to start all over.

When Sims Online was in the Beta version, I was a tester. I was could not get off of it. When I had to do things, I would just pause my person. LOL
But then I hit a glitch and lost my person. There was no way I wanted to build another person all over again. So I stopped playing.
Some time after that, they came out with Sims Making Magic. I had to have it! I played and played for hours. Got my person and dragon exactly the way I wanted and them BOOM! I was bored with it.
I have not picked up Sims since.

Do they even have it anymore. I played for a while and loved it but it was just I did not want to pay the monthly fees. So I stopped playing.

OMG hehe I was too!!! I loved the sims Online...LOVED it!!
I played for awhile after the beta cause I just couldn't stop playing. I was curious to go back and see what was new on it just a few months ago, but held off. But I am still very curious on how it is now, what three years later?

I've tried to get into it a few different times, but just really couldn't understand the appeal of it, got too frustrating.

I was just thinking about the SIms last night and how long it's been since I last played *laugh* I do go through periods where I play it endlessly and then don't touch it for months. But I usually feel the need to start over with a new family when I do pick the game back up. It feels a bit strange to try to go back to where I left off after such a long time.
The Sims is definitely one of my all time favorite games! ^_^ I love watching human behavior, so simulated human behavior is almost as good! *laugh* Especially when I can add my own elements into the mix and see what happens! ^_~

I do that quite often. Not proud of it, but hey,lol. I love The Sims but I don't always get the time to sit down and play. When I have a free moment, I'll sit down and play and those times are the times when I can devote hours to playing without having to stop to accomplish other tasks.
