6 things you do that make Sims 4 even more boring 

I used cheats to help come up with fun storylines. I created a blue suburban home years ago, and I decided to renovate it. My design choices were outdated and just plain ugly, but I still loved the exterior of the home. I thought it would be fun to incorporate that into my sims storylines. One of my sims is a heiress. She inherited the home from her grandfather and decided to renovate the inside to look super modern. I gave her roommates who she met in college. Even though they all benefit from the inheritance (the cheats), I gave them aspirations, like becoming celebrities and influencers. So I ended up making a content house. They'll never run out of fun things to do. :D

I get bored mostly because the game is too easy and there is no need to cater for the needs, the moodlets aren’t impacting. I also get bored because the world is not open and there’s not much to do in my own lot, it all feels very limited. Also, sims have no personality like in sims 4. Animations are all very limited… there’s so many reasons!

Those are great tips. Since you've asked, my tips to avoid getting bored in The Sims 4 I'd suggest to avoid cheats, allow Sims to have negative traits, avoid getting rich quick and easy, store money in a family vault which will only add to the bills, and/or do invest in restaurants, café's, vet cliniques, stores, and real estate that you can rent out over time and over multiple generations to build our own empire.

I use cheats to set my game up. I do not get bored if I set up a storyline for my well to do families. And this is not just a Sims 4 thing, it was true for me in Sims 2 as well (I didn't play much Sims 3 tbh). Like I might make a rich family that hates the poor family(s) down the road BUT the kids are like best friends. And I set all that up before I really "play" (with relationship and money cheats to do the set up). Or I'll have a rich family that has the butler end up doing most of the baby care and parenting, I like seeing how family dynamics are affected by such a situation especially if I play the parents obsessed with work til the child is a teen. Not because they need money, but because they are perfectionist that like the high of promotions. I think you can set goals like "better family relationships" that aren't "bigger house...more money...more stuff" and those can be just as fun to play towards but the game doesn't natively allow you to set up said situation out of CAS, its always the same base money - starter house limitation which is honestly fine for learning the game. But I am beyond that. I also play rotationally, so I am never just zoned in on one family and their progress, I play a neighborhood of intersecting stories always. One family all the time would bore me. Each play session I visit someone new and catching up on their life is always exciting. And since I am progressing in the same save with families who know each other its fun to run into my other families naturally in game and have a bit of no control I have to deal with when I get back to them. Cheats are how I get the world set to the state I want it and then I mostly avoid them in gameplay from there. But they are also handy sometimes when the game is being weird. Like I send a sim out to the club one night and then come home to every sim out of bed and the infant on the floor because the lot reset during the loading screen. I use cheats to cheat their needs down and send them all to bed til a reasonable hour. Or, quite frankly, I want a nice family dinner so I cheat everyone to hungry to have that moment, lol. I think there's a way to use cheats to help your gameplay as opposed to elimination of the need to play (giving yourself a dreamhouse with infinite money gives you nowhere to go, I agree). I am not really a rags to riches player anyway, the majority of my Sims are firmly middle class and never go any higher. And that does not bother me.

I love playing with long legacies. I started out with a single, had no intention of playing for this long. He got married, got pregnant (yup), and had about 6 kids. I kinda just pick a kid and go over from there, for me what I do is I give my sims a personality. They follow the linear path of having children but at the end of the day they maybe aren’t very family oriented. Not saying they hate their kids but their whole life doesn’t revolve around kids, it’s just a part of it. They have hobbies, careers, and still care about their relationships.

4:35 woohoo rides day? hmmmmmm

No depth to the game just front face 😡😡😡

Boring because the traits don't have impacts to Sims lives.
