The sims 3 has just become monotonous and redundant. I've read the countless threads on how to avoid this but It doesn't seem to be working.
Here is a summary of my attempts to make the game interesting:
If I can't find the game fun, then I might have to take a break from it.
Here is a summary of my attempts to make the game interesting:
- First I tried roleplaying. I enjoy it up to a point, but even making up your own stories gets rather dull.
- I also had a go at some challenges. Legacy challenge was so intensely boring that I gave up after generation 4. Survival challenge was equally dull.
- In a final attempt to make the game fun, I spent three hours downloading mods for my game. I enjoyed them but they all got adapted into my play style after a while.
- I even started using my first cheats just to add some variety, but all cheats do is skip out the bits of the game that are still fun.
If I can't find the game fun, then I might have to take a break from it.

I am on this phase that playing doesn't entertain me anymore but building still does. Playing options can run out pretty fast and the relationships between sims are over simplistic but building always allows me to try new tricks. There are so many types of houses I want to create
The BEST remedy is what has been said earlier, taking a break from the game. If it worries you that you won't go back to it, that usually doesn't happen. Breaks have been awesome for me and it gave me a lot of time to live my life (and get things done
^^^AGREED!
Heck all I had to do was play TS4 for one hour and then I went RIGHT back to Sims 3!
> I've heard that if you are bored with TS3, then go play TS4 for a while. You'll be back in a month
I believe it was less than a month for me :p but then again that's how I was when ts3 came out too. I was playing ts2 DAILY and then when ts3 came out I played it non stop for about a month and then didn't even touch it for nearly two years. Now I play ts3 DAILY and only go back to ts2 when ts3 is being crashy. The same thing is happening now that ts4 is out. I played it for most of September and then haven't really at all. Just ts3.
Have you tried playing a single, self-employed Sim?
I don't know what expansion packs you have, but with Supernatural my favourite is to play a Witch in the Alchemy Career. I like going about collecting stuff, fishing and making elixirs. I even enjoy gem cutting. And being a Witch is so much more fun than being Human
If you have Into the Future you can join the Plumbot building career and that's great. You can go off collecting stuff that you need for the trait chips - it's a nice world to explore.
And building, as others have suggested. I like downloading custom neighbourhoods and tweaking them to just the way I like them. If I'm really in the mood to put some effort in, I'll get an empty World and create a Medieval themed game. I even found a No Car mod
Custom Worlds are a bit of a lucky dip but if you find a creator who you like, they'll usually have more than one on offer. I found someone who'd made Al Simhara into a regular neighbourhood
I don't have sims 4, but it costs a fortune.
I'm doomed. Even dragon age is getting me down!

When I showed some friends the world map and how I got the United States of Central America (an actual country that didn't exist for very long in reality) to take over around a third of the world, they all said I was nuts to spend months working that out. And they were probably right.
Different types of games just appeal to different types of players at different times.

Well, try what we all suggested.
Agree with what @bobyo2001 said. If you've never played Sims 2, it's fun! You particularly need to get the Open For Business Expansion Pack. SUPER FUN!!!!
My first is the town legacy challenge in Winfield which is a world I made in CAW.I've got four families there and I switch between them and play all of them in that game.My next legacy is Gibsons and there's two families living there and I play both of them.Oak Leaf is another of my legacies and I've got two families in houses and a new one at Garden Market.I made Gibsons and Oak Leaf in CAW.My fourth legacy is in Rflong7's Glenvale County and I've got four families living there and play all of them.
