What are some things to do maybe from all the Expansion, Game, and Stuff packs we have? Maybe stuff I didn't hear yet since majority of sims I create are good people. I never maxed out all skills, never used Mods, and don't really care for the challenges. Just want an organized list consisting of updated things entailing all the new updates and additions Sims 4 has now.

Can you start a bug collection? That would be fun.
Rummage through boxes in San Myshuno or go to the festivals.
Have a hippy type sim or commune where the priorities are eating vegetarian, yoga, protesting, etc.

i'm also trying to have them very slowly bumble their way through the strangerville story, but not sure how far they'll get since i only control one sim and don't want him to do everything
as for other things you can try... you're really just limited by what you can think up. getting outside your usual comfort zone can not only be helpful, but is sometimes fun and can also be rather cathartic
a few potential ideas:
could try to make a single sim that works on achievements you'd normally not care about, like 'woohoo 50 townies', 'outlive (read 'kill') 5 spouses', 'have 10 of your sims die of unnatural causes' , 'befriend the grim reaper' as examples
play an evil or mean sim... some of my favorite sims started out this way, like my evil alien supervillain (who also happens to love family and dotes on his kids, who are just as evil as he is but love their dad, too). could be a good sim to do some of the achievements in the previous suggestion, too
'collect' rare or unique traits on a single sim... some of these can be passed down to offspring, others need the individual occurrence to happen for each sim you want to have them. some of these traits are 'sulani mana' (island living, allows to summon lava boulders from the sky), 'father winter's baby' (have a sim get pregnant from 'trying for baby' with father winter. the kid gets this trait), 'lighthouse conception' (have a sim get pregnant from 'trying for baby' at the brindleton bay lighthouse. the kid gets this trait), 'batbaby' (have two vampires with batform try for baby while in batform. the kid gets this trait), 'half-alien' (one parent alien, one parent regular sim)
I create several sims and put most of them in the political career, others in random careers (criminal, business, gardener or maid for example) who are going to try to be elected and others in the journalist career.
I create clubs with the different political parties and choose a few promises they make to the people (pass a law that punishes tax evasion (=money cheats), renovate the park, give $2000 to every YA that graduate high school with an A, open a nursing home,...).
Then I have them organize charity events and press conferences where the journalists ask them questions and rich people give them money for their campaign. I also try to do televised debates.
Finally the people vote for their mayor/president (depending on the save I play) and the elected Sim receives a budget for the duration of their mandate.
I use this money to pay the coworkers of the mayor, renovate or build (I just count how much money I used and take it away with a cheat), give scholarships, host dinners, bribe policemen if the mayor does illegal things or keep a part of the money while wishing noone notices.
It's fun as you can create silly laws, have people protest, create bad Sims who pretend to be decent just to be elected, etc.
Sometimes I add a mafia too, it's nice to see how everything turns out.

many of my sims actually befriend grimmy, he's the life of the party and gets invited to every promotion celebration (singing karaoke duets with him is amazing)
Hey guys, you got me inspired! Yay!
Thank you!
Create your favorite characters from whatever you are a fan of and play out their lives in game like a fanfiction. (It should be something that can translate into the sims somehow). I find the more packs I have the better my sims can express themselves. Like in my Stardew Valley save... Wow now I can't wait for Realm of Magic.. the wizard character from that game can (hopefully) come into his own. Lol.. didn't think of that till just now, so I'm excited. I saw a squirrel while typing huh? Anyway, I can tell you about every character and how I used multiple packs but I'd be writing for awhile . I'll just say they all have unique personalities and hobbies and whenever I could I'd use something from various packs to show that... it could be slightly skewed of course but my sims world, my rules. If you are a big fan and really inspired you can have as much fun with the set up character/building or finding homes for them as the gameplay itself.
I just started playing in rotation with the premades about a month ago. It is surprisingly fun.. probably because they are usually (very) different than characters I create. I've been playing according to what I see them as through their bio and traits. Adding in stuff from other packs to their households if it makes sense. Some of them have really come to life for me. Like Johnny Zest... he is still a comic but he's taken up bowling. His house is decorated retro/bowling and I've used quite a bit of Strangerville stuff for him also. He's trying to Get Famous ..
