So we all know and love that game SimCity 4. I just had an idea for this thread to make sure I'm not the only one that is completely obsessed.
So if you don't mind I would like all of you to tell us how much you are addicted by sharing the size of your plugins and how often you boot up SimCity 4. Keep in mind this is loose and extra posting is encouraged.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example:
I have (x) amount of plugins and play SC4 (when do you play?), so about (x) hours a week. (other thoughts)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll start:
My total login time is 2 days, 7 hours, and1 minute.I have 2 GB of plugins and play SC4 every time I boot up my game computer, so about 8-10 hours a week. It seems that I am always thinking about other ways to play that I haven't tried yet, and that every day is something new.

I have 977 MB of plugins and play simcity as often as I can.
I have 2.93GB of Plugins (6,127 individual files) and I play SC4 as often as I can, around 5-7 hours a week depending on the University workload.
I have 771MB of Plugins (only because I got a new PC 3 months ago and I've been very selective this time in what I download) and I play as often as I can which is between 3-5 days a week.
3+gb of plugins, play once in awhile, though I haven't played in a few months because my disk drawer won't open on my pc, thus I can't put the game disk in to play.
I have so many plungins I forgot. I definitely do not have enough, because I am working on a large amount of new ones. They'll be uploaded when they are ready (see my signature).
I think about the game many times a day.
I check this site almost every second day (hence my large amount of replies (total time loggend in: 20 days, 4 hours and 24 minutes)). Sometimes I check Simtropolis and Simpeg, but I hardly ever reply there.
I play the game and/or Lot-edit my SC4 files about 5 hours a week.
My addiction? It is that large that I dream of having a whole week off (job, wife, children, dishwashing, eating, everything...) to be able to play several days without distractions.
Hehe, nice thread :D
I'd categorize myself as a functional SC4 addict ;) While it hasn't been detrimental to my work or personal relationships (besides occasionally annoying my girlfriend) I wouldn't say that I've never played it at work or around my girlfriend.
To quantify, total time logged in here 19 days, 11 hrs, 48 mins; ~2GB in current plugins (though there's a lot more space taken up by unused plugins, pictures, backups, etc). I probably spend 5-15 hours playing SC4 itself most weeks.
I've been logged in 34 days, 23 hours and 17 minutes. I check this site virtually every day. I check some of the other major SC4 sites fairly often, too. My Plugins folder is 1.54 GB (datpacked from 1.68 GB). I have an abundance of SC4 utilities, too, including B.A.T., LE, PIM, PIM-X, SC4Tool, Cleanitol, Datpacker, and of course the good old Reader.
While I don't necessarily play the game every day ( :o ) , I usually do something SC4-related every day, whether it's scouting for downloads or playing around in the B.A.T. I even had a dream about browsing the LEX once, and I was thinking, "It's gotta be there!" although I can't remember what file I was looking for in this dream. I find myself thinking of RL roads and highways in terms of RHW-2, RHW-4, TLA-5, etc., although I don't ever say it out loud because everyone else would be like, "What in the world are you talking about?" %wrd

Rookie.... :P 96 days, 2 hours and 12 minutes
Hi, my name's Diggis and I'm a recovering SC4aholic. I've been on hiatis for about 18 months now, although have just reinstalled BAT and the game. My plugins are empty though. ;)
I've been logged for 43 days, 21 hours and 35 minutes.
Level of addiction to SC4? Well, let's say that 20 hours a week I'm playing SimCity4 or doing related stuff, an with a 3GB plugins you could say I'm pretty addicted.
6GB of plugins over here, currently SC4 is on hold because of a broken disc. So currently I play 0 hours of SC4 per week :P
My online time is ridiculous, though that's usually because I have the site almost constantly in a tab while doing other things and refreshing regularly. Due to RL, SC4 time's been down to about 0-2 hours a week. My figures are probably in the vicinity of Maarten's most of the rest of the time, however.

I haven't really played seriously in about a year, though I do have it installed (via steam) along with the NAM, RHW and CAM, and have touched it a few times. I stopped coming here a while back, but have started reappearing again...and somehow am still in the top 5 online-time >.>

Best,

Indeed Pat and bat like fighting for the top post spot :D XD I'm surprised I am still so high on the time online list, havent really been online for a while >.>
I'm pretty addicted too. Member here since December 2006, and at Simtropolis since February 2003 (there were only a dozen members when I signed in). I have been here logged for 41 days, 21 hours and 13 minutes and have done 1083 posts. I spend around 2 to 3 hours a day with this addiction and my Docs/SC4 is 10,2 Gb big, whereas the plugins is 4,2 Gb and the rest is images, works in progress, maps and compressed plugins.
Total time of 23 hours and 15 minutes, so low man on the totem pole here. Currently spend about 2-3 hours doing different things related to the game. I consider myself still a newb after having put the game down for a few years. And back then I didn't spend as much time trying to learn the different facets of the game. Moved my system over from XP to W7 so I decided to just start from scratch all over again. Instead of downloading and installing everything, I am just taking it a few steps at at time. And this time I'm using the DIC to help me stay organized. My plugins folder currently sit at 1.16GB. I consider it my primary game at this time.
Thank you for those lists, Maarten. I will add them to the first post. How do you make it sticky?

Posts have to be stickied by moderators. I'm not sure this one needs to be sorry. :)
Well not sure where my addiction falls. I don't play regularly, but when I get in the mood it will be all I play for a couple of weeks.
Plugins folder is 5+ GB uncompressed (actually down from what it used to be after the HD failure).
Still, considering the age of the game, that I still play it at all has to say something. :D
No problem, just a thought

A meagre 10 days, 13 hours and 10 minutes. I play SC4 anywhere from 0 to 20 hours a week... depends how much I need a break in life at times. Plugins folder tips the scale at 5.2GB. I also play with a *legal* DRM-free version of SC4 deluxe these days.
My plugins folder:
7,702 files with 1,513 folders sitting at 3.14GB on disk.
Keep in mind that I keep this DatPacked!!!
That's only my backup folder. :D
My actual plugins folder reads this:
457 files with 76 folders at 2.80GB on disk.
My wife has to force me into bed I stay up so late sometimes. ???
Well I got over 4 GB of Plugins and play this game in 2006 for implying that I have played more than 10 full months of that time until now. Sometimes I feel like I have more than 30 hours per week in the game.

Am glad this post started. Don't feel like I'm suffering from some kind of OCD now (or maybe?)!
Some weeks not play as much as others but figuring on max time spent:
- Game time: 12 or more hrs. per week. Including playing in A.M. while getting ready for work, eating breakfast, etc.
Plugins: 1.16 gB. This does not include some used before major crash of 2010 or those from LEX DVD not tried yet.
Regions: 218 mB (in MyDocs folder)
Log-in time SC4D: 3D 6hrs. 30 min.
Start time SC4D: Nov 2009
Actually started playing Simcity in the late 90's on an old 486 PC. Never had 3000 version. Stopped while returned to university to get BS degree at late date and started playing again somewhere in 2003-2005. :thumbsup:
I personally don't have a timetable of how frequently I play SC4. It depends - sometimes I'm full of ideas and I want to play, some time else I don't have any inspiration. So I might play SC4 from 0 hours ($%Grinno$%) to more than 20 hours a week.
My plugins folder is 3.35 GB, this is what I managed to collect from various sites for 9 months (since October 2010 when my HDD failed so I had to start from scratch).
I've been playing SC4 since 2005. In May 2008 I discovered Simtropolis and in 6 June - SC4Devotion. At first I was amazed when I found out about the NAM. I had no idea that there are still so many people who play and mod the game. Thanks to them I'm still here, after almost 3 years :thumbsup: And for these 3 years I have spend 43 days, 4 hours and 10 minutes reading and posting in this wonderful forum.
I got hooked with SC 3000. Yes that seems so long ago and dated but hey it offered me freedom to right the wrongs of many of mayors and politicians. OK the facts... Plugins-1.25 gb, regions-425mb, gameplay 10 hours a week most on the weekends. I like to use sundays as my play day since it is the day of rest and I dont really have a lot going on that day. I have been a member of simtrop since 05 and found scdev in 09 I think. Once I found out about custom content I cant stop building and building and trying different techniques that I learn from tutorials. I love this game and I do wish a newer version would come that includes all of the things that all the great modders and batters have created.
I am very addicted to Sim city 4 cant get my mind off it ;D :D $%Grinno$% my addiction level is very high have 1.73 GB of plugins and play non stop every day Sim city 4 kicks Sim city 2000/3000/unlimited in there rear ends best game ever.
