Wow! loveSims, it's great to hear that even 50+ people, love and still having fun playing Sims, you're a cool grandma, if I may say.
Hi EgyYasmine, I'm 21 by the way and I still love playing the game. During random chit-chats with my friends in med school, I was a bit shy at first to tell them that I still play the Sims 3, I thought I was also a bit over-aged for that.
I saw a random post of a classmate that she'll be playing the Sims 3 for the weekends. So the next day, I had the courage to ask her, if what I saw last night was real, and she said Yes.
So for the whole break time we were talking about the Sims, what happened to Bella Goth, the expansion packs etc., then few friends joined us, they were surprised that their is actually Sims 3, they played the Sims before but thought they're old enough, but after sharing the new stuffs about Sims 3, they got excited and wanted to purchase it soon.
We came into a conclusion, that we really enjoyed playing the whole Sims series, and sometimes, because life's tough on everyone, we just want to do something we are kinda in control of things and we can do what we want that we normally don't have a chance to do in real life.
World Peace.
