Sims Freeplay demographics

[Manderley]

56 yr old female. I've been playing since the 80's....Sim City, Sims, Sims 2, Sims 3 with all expansion packs....Sims Online....I stopped playing the last five years or so and now SFP. I have to admit it seems limited after playing the PC games....and I really miss the Prima books.

I miss the Prima guides, too! But most of all, I miss MOTHERLOAD!

I am a 48 year old married female. My husband doesn't play Sims and wasn't sure about me playing to begin with but has got used to it now.

SFP is my first ever game. I only started it to see what it was all about and got hooked. I am also new to forums and online social things. So learning both as I go.

I am a 51 year old female. I started playing sfp when it first came out. I played for a couple years, then got tired of having to spend so much time replenishing all my sims needs if I was away from the game for any length of time. I picked it back up again when the grandkids were over. I let them play on my ipad and noticed an alien wandering around town. I completed the goals and haven't been able to put it down since. I was disappointed to find that I missed out on the living large stairs when they were affordable. I have noticed many other cool things in neighbors towns that are no longer available. I really enjoy playing sfp in my spare time, but I'm afraid to leave them alone for any length of time now for fear that I'll miss something else. LOL

I'm a little shy but since we have been asked to introduce ourselves...
I am an "unattached" female, orange tabby, who is a bit farsighted.
I live in the Midwest USA with four other cats, none of which are orange. As for my age.... well, I currently have a somewhat serious addiction to Sims Freeplay that started slightly before the Alien arrived and should prolly seek help --in fact, the last time I was this addicted to a game it was FFVII and FFVIII on Playstation2.

I am a 49 year old female. I began playing with the moving up update after my 10 year old daughter convinced me to try it. We bond over the game and explore neighbor towns together. I have enjoyed the neighbors much more than I expected, especially after adding many forum posters as neighbors.

I am a 30 year old gal. I began playing right after the movin' up update and I've never been this addicted to a game before! (Online communities are a different story, though. I've been an internet addict since year 2000 when I stumbled upon my very first discussion forum...)

My husband doesn't play SFP but he's an avid PC gamer, so he totally understands me. We don't argue over internet or gaming because we both spend our free time in front of our computers or phones.

58 year old female here. This is my first online game. I love to read, so have been afraid to even download games for myself for fear I'll play rather than read. Reading is super relaxing for me, and I always feel like I don't have as much time as I want for reading.

And here I am! Hooked on SFP. I got it for my 11 year old daughter, then downloaded it on my iPad 2. Why?! Why!? Reading? What reading?! Well, I read the forum.

I started and got hooked during the Living Large update (is that the right name? the one with the construct-o coins.) I loved that challenge, and have lots of two and three story homes that I still need to design and furnish, which I love to do. But I get obsessed with earning LP and simoleons, so don't design as much as I'd like. Hey -- I think there is a theme here! Easily obsessed?
