Want to get the DLC and start over but I'm a little afraid to sink in too many hours since there's always improvements to be made

Once your body start to fall asleep on the keyboard, that's my limit.

Do want to see if there's better alternatives

Easy, it gets all my time until biology takes priority.

Just be aware that perfect is the enemy of good, take pleasure playing, don't over do it and be proud of what you do

Sometimes I sleep. I don't yet know how to play while sleeping so this serves as a natural boundary.

That happens maybe... three times a week? It's really inconvenient.

Fairly surprised that there isn’t a mod that lets you set a hard time limit, where it just forcibly closes the game at a certain hour.

If there were, I'd just have to find a way around it.

Simply become older. The older I get the less I want to do hours long sessions. But practically, I have a hard bedtime alarm on my phone, which works cause sleep deprivation and work suck.

Kids and full time job solves it: When I fall asleep at the keyboard, it is near 23:00 and time to go to bed.
