Often joking that I 'look 10 years younger and feel 10 years older' than I really am, I am a not-quite middle-aged man who still plays and codes as passionately as I did when I was a teenager with his first computer.
Being an extremely creative and imaginative person, and having fiddled about with the workings of computers for over 20 years, I still love the challenge of creating some virtual thing from virtually nothing.
Other than C/C++ and Lua programming, I also find time to do some hardcore reading (my first love); though I don't eat anywhere near as well as I should, I love to cook just for the sheer creative and challenging aspects of cooking good food.
Though I don't often play TS3, when I do I tend to play for extended periods as my creative juices flow (or I get bored with whatever else I was doing at the time).
The best part of TS3 for me is the ability to engage in architectural design (I wanted to be an architect when I was a kid) and my 'closet creative outlet' clothing design (something one of my friends thinks I should start doing in real life).
