This is exactly what I do. Back in 2016 when I first bought ATS in June, I played for 3 months straight almost every day for 3-4 hrs a night after work. This was at 1:35 scale with only the base map states. I slowed my role down a bit after 3 months as I got my trucking fix to a satisfactory level. I then got burned out a bit after Washington released so I scaled back a bit more. I went to weekends only and only did 300-800 mile trips. I still do the same today. I play for a max of about 2 hrs at a time. I'm actually on here a lot more than I play.Knightrider wrote: ↑09 Aug 2022 18:35 I think the best way to enjoy ATS/ETS 2 is to take 1 to 2 hours sessions then take a break. Repeat.
Basically, take breaks from the game. I own 50+ console games. I don't play a single one anymore. I have about 6-7 pc titles and I don't play them often either. 90% of the time, I'm playing ATS on a limited basis. When not playing or on here, I'm busy with something else. My break from the game is this forum though. I still get my trucking fix just by talking about it. I'm on here when I shouldn't be...........like now, lol. I'm suppose to be working now but I have to even take breaks from work before I get too burned out with it. Breaks are necessary no matter what you are doing.
