Typical Playing Day?
IridescentKerry:
I started my first 'proper' job this Monday. :'( I'm 22, graduated from Uni in July. Up until yesterday I'd play the Sims for at least 5 hours a day (and I mean at least!), seeing as I'm now working 8am-5.30pm I can't imagine I'll be able to play in the week anymore. Which I'm very traumatised about.
I'm just curious how other simmers manage to play the sims whilst having a job? What's your typical day like?

I work 7-5:30 M-R and play a littel bit each night maybe an hour on average...Fridays I am gone and the weekends I am usually busy so don't get much in, but once in while, I'll get to play for 5 or 6 hours on a sunday or something. I just don't get through the generations as quickly anymore. Oh and FYI I only watch tv on tuesday nights for an hour usually, once in a while I'll watch something else. And I have to start working out soon, the sims is not going to get much time anymore...oh well thats life, at least until I get to the weight I want to be at, got 15 more lbs to go.
IridescentKerry:
I can relate to the losing weight, I decided I needed to lose some weight a couple of years ago, lost about 40lbs and felt a lot more comfortable within myself, then in my final year I put on about 15lbs. Which I'm still struggling to lose (admittedly, it's hard to lose weight whilst still eating KFC's and chocolate!). Hoping that now I'm working I'll be better! We'll see.

Congratulations on your graduation and new position :)
I work from 7:30-between4:00&6:00 depending on what's up. Generally I get to play an hour or 2 (or a bit more) a night (depending on how late I'm willing to stay up, and what other obligations I have) and several on weekends. I can come here and read a bit or post a bit during lunch for a kind of fix.
I don't watch tv much, but I do occasionally do a few other things, usually when I'm a bit less addicted than I am right now (it comes and goes). I don't get as much done in the game as I'd like to, but then I wouldn't if I played 24/7 either ;)
Lynda:
I work weekdays from around 10am - 7pm. I usually get up around 6:30 and have all my morning stuff taken care of and the sims loading by 7:30. I don't need to leave for work until 9:20, so I get to play about an hour and a half taking a break around 8:30 to blow dry my hair and actually get ready for work.
As mentioned in another thread, my husband seems to feel he will implode if I'm on the computer and he's awake and at home (he is REALLY not good at entertaining himself). Therefore, when he's home I rarely get a chance to play. I used to loathe the fact that he sleeps in on the weekends, but now I just play while he's sleeping and all is well! I get maybe an hour and a half in each weekend morning as well. If I'm lucky, he'll go out with his friends or take a nap so I can play some more.
