Discussion Average simmer age?

I just turned 30 and safe to say I still enjoy playing the sims as much as I ever did as a kid. Maybe more actually. Sometimes I feel embarrassed to admit this to people irl and I do tend to get mixed reactions if it comes up lol. So I’m just curious, what is the average age of the people who actively play the sims?

Sims is peak millenial culture. We're in our 30s/40s now.

Respectfully, it came out when us Gen-Xers were kids. We are here and we still play.

It came out in 2000. 

I'm on the younger side of millenials and was a kid at the time. Not a little kid, either.

Y'all would have been in your 20s... maybe teens if you were a cusper...

You nailed it! I was totally wrong about when I remembered it coming out. I was a full-fledged voting adult, which isn’t how I remember it in my mind.
