I can't seem to stay focused on Sims 3 anymore, which makes me sad. I'm a family player, but I tend to jump into dating and weddings and families within the first week of gameplay. I need to do something different!

I find that if I force myself to play when I just don't feel like doing anything, I get frustrated and just nitpick at all the limitations of the game and stop playing. But when I feel inspired, I can still immerse myself like it's 2009 again, play within the rules of this old game, and enjoy myself, whether I'm trying something new or doing what I always do (make all the hot people do it and have da bebbiez).
The problem is, the inspiration never comes when I'm looking for it. It's random, and not usually in the game or even on the forums. You just wait for it to find you and do something else in the meantime.

My play style hasn't changed since I got the game with the exception of adding small elements from each EP as I add them. I still haven't tried most of what the game offers but have found what keeps me interested. Perhaps a longer break is all you need to bring back the love or try sticking with a challenge from start to finish to at least get a feeling of achievement. Challenges aren't my cup of tea but I know many do enjoy them.

It never gets boring. But sometimes I get out of ideas, and then I take breaks for a month or more. No big deal, since I love my sims.
I don't like challenges or a too fast-paced gameplay, because them I wouldn't get attached to the sims, and they become just game characters instead of "relatives and friends", if you know what I mean. That's what makes Sims so great, the many ways you can play it.
Me too...@Cororon, nothing wrong with playing with a self-sim. I don't know, but my muse has been going 🤪 with the rewrite of the "Selfacy" and since I'm playing now...I get a new section every so often. Chapter Four is already up to 12 pages (text-only for Fanfiction.net) and playing the game with the story-line makes me get more ideas.
If you're bored with the game, @HillyBeth, it may be high-time to take a break from the game for a little while and see if something clicks after being away from the game for a bit. Maybe play another game or something and eventually that might rekindle your love for Sims.

I still have Sims 2 installed as well. I would re-install The Sims but don't know if it would work with Windows 10.
