What age did you start playing Sims and what age are you now?

I think... I started playing when I was about eight or nine. I remember seeing commercials about the Sims 1 and thinking it was an adult game, but I went to my friends house and we played it. I didn't really understand how to play until my neighbor gave me the Sims 1 a few months later for PS2 on my birthday and I was hooked. When I heard the Sims 2 was coming out I immediately started saving up and ever since I started playing it, I've been loving the game and anticipating every expansion pack. I'm sixteen now and I cannot WAIT until the Sims 3.
