I'm Curious About Everyone Who Still Plays Sims 3!

Today I realized I've been playing The Sims for 20 years, which doesn't sound crazy except I'm 27, so that's nearly 75% of my life which is kind of weird to think about! I also realized today that there is surprisingly a lot I don't know about The Sims, for example, today I learned about the corrupt creepy doll that ruined a bunch of people's games and I'm wondering how I somehow have never heard of it (though I don't download any custom content because my sister ruined The Sims 2 by downloading TONS of CC so I made it a rule that there was no CC allowed in my Sims 3 games.) (I did start using mods last year, though.) Plus I am STILL trying to figure out and remember all of the lore involved. And I finally, within the last few months, I downloaded all of the store content and Showtime and Into the Future - the two EPs I really had no interest in (but when in Rome!).

I'm curious about everyone else that still plays The Sims 3. I tried The Sims 4 and absolutely hated it. Does anyone else only play TS3, or do people play both? (Also, is there anyone that is still able to play TS1 and/or TS2?!) How long have you been playing? Do you have all of the store content and/or EPs? Which EP(s) do you like best? Do you like occults? Pets? Fave worlds? Jobs/professions/hobbies? Have Large families? Use mods? Cheats? How long do you stick with a save?

Share whatever about your style of gameplay! I love getting ideas for new saves!
