I've been playing The Sims for pretty much most of my life at this point, and I've enjoyed all of them, but there is this common trend in the way I play each incarnation of it and I don't know if anyone else has this problem.
I get really excited to play and I devote practically a whole week or so to playing with my new family, and then I don't touch the game anymore. Not unless I get a new expansion pack, and then the cycle starts up again. It seems inevitable that I'll get bored of it within a week or so
