The only advice I can offer...
I made this little couple with the background of this one guy use to be a surfer back in the day and had met his sweetheart and been with one another for a long time, but hasn't really tied the knot at all. He's an Elder and she's an adult who just got pregnant, so having a kids late in the game, but my sim was more than happy since she wanted to start a family. My older surfer sim is worn out by the kid now being a toddler as it's hard for him to keep up with him. Have them in this cute little trailer, but they'll have to move eventually once the toddler ages up. Probably closer to the ocean like in Widenburg. The only income he makes is by playing his guitar for tips while the wife gardens and sells her produce.
Could always try marrying then divorcing your sim or possibly killing them. Perhap stry yourself a black widow challenge if all you do is make female sims.
Start on a blank lot and have your sim start off from scratch in building them a home from the ground up and filling it with stuff. If you use cheats I'd suggest you don't as it can ruin the challenge. I like giving my Sims a job that isn't a career like having them moonlight as a bartender to earn wages or even being a DJ.
Maybe play as a single mom with a kid? Who is trying to get out of her partying lifestyle now that she has a little one of her own that depends on her.
Just establish your own goals like---If you want you sim to earn money buy running their own business, do so from scratch. Have them self-plublish or have a publisher in making wages from making their own music to writing their own books.
Maybe a big sister having to take care of their sibling since mom or dad passed away and trying to go to school at the same time.
Other than that I recommend taking a break from sims. I can go months without playing and then find when I come back to it it's all fun and exciting again.
Random question maybe, but do you find yourself getting bored with lots of things in this way or is it just sims?
There's a bunch. Just read through them. You're bound to find something that interests you. If you play it and don't like it, you can always try another. Hope you find something. I do my own thing with the Legacy Challenge, myself. Good Luck

1) Play rotationally.
2) get the sims out of the house and doing stuff.
3) create drama
4) create a challenge
5) find out what other people are doing
Hope that helps!

All the sims err'day
2. Go back to Sims 2 or 3 - sometimes I miss things from 4 and want to go back.
3. Make yourself stop playing the game for atleast a week.
For n.3 I do this and go on a download spree. I see so many nice things, which makes me want to play the game but can't. Which when I can play again I play for a few days on end and i'm having a lot of fun.
I made a new sim and I've been having the most fun with the new family. He's almost an elder!
I made a loner scientist. The only kid he has is from when he got abducted. (Although, he was abducted again and I think they knocked him up)
So, one more alien baby right before he turns into an elder.
I made his first kid the absolute opposite of him. He's an outgoing jock instead of a loner nerd. Haha
I'm excited to play through his life too. He just aged up to a teen.
And if I'm still bored, it means I've been playing too long or I'm just not in the right headspace for immersive gaming. Sometimes if it's the second one, I turn to my celebrity Sims save because it's Very Very Silly and amuses me in a way that doesn't require my immersion. Or I just really need to so something else for a while - go out for a long walk or bake something or binge some TV or get finished whatever work is hanging over my head and stopping me from fully enjoying my leisure time. That last one has been my real-life space the last couple of weeks.

It depends on your playstyle though. Challenges or legacies can also work. I sometimes create goals in my rotation for a given household as well. That lets me try out a lot of different aspects of the game. I have a few sims who are cops and doctors. I have others who are artists or techie geeks. There's a few who are villains, social-climbing gold diggers or a "brainwashing" religious leader. There are the people who say, "Plum that," and go to hang out around the bars and bowling alleys.
I spend time in all the different worlds and editing various housing as well. One of my SM apartments is on its 3rd active resident in my game. The other two have grown up and moved on.

BOOK OF CHAOS
There's four types (flavors) of the BOC -
1 - BASE only (if you only have the base game)
2 - GTW only (if you only have Get To Work)
3 - SPA DAY only (if you only got Spa Day)
4 - SPA DAY + GTW (if you have BOTH Get To Work AND Spa Day)
There are 17 way to kill (or just maim) other Sims!
So far, I've had one of my Sims (Anna Belle) torment Newcrest, plus a Jasmine Holiday (Day Of The Dead version) torment Willow Creek.
Mwahaha!
Just recently I started playing rotationally which I haven't done since the Sims 2 (it was the ONLY way I played in Sims 2 so I'm not sure why it took me so long in this game but anyhoo...) and I find this really helps keep things fresh and interesting because there are multiple families going on and I don't have to stay in one household for too long.
I also JUST started a save where I'm making a bunch of low income families on one world, middle income in another, and high income in another. I rotate through the families which I'm adding one by one. I started with a teen and child sibling duo who are homeless and living in a tent. I set my own rules so like no one in the low income zone can own a computer. And only one sim in the household can have a job. That kind of thing. I try to build community lots that match the income of the area. It's been pretty entertaining!
And when all else fails, I play a different game. I've got a lot of choices. My hubby owns all the consoles plus we have some handheld gaming systems too. I've been playing Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns for a solid 2 weeks now on my 3DS. It helps keep me occupied til something new and fun comes out
Try a baby challenge...
