How To NOT Get Bored With The Sims 4 | 5 Things To Do Before You Start A New Game *Without Mods* 

Honestly, if you don't have a goal, the game would be boring. But if you're constantly doing challenges and push yourself towards it, it can be fun. It takes a while to get yourself fully immersed. And this is coming from someone who has quite a lot of packs. Getting packs doesn't mean anything, you can still get bored all the same just like with base game

I love starting my sims life stages off as a teenager in their family! It has made it so much easier for me to not get bored as quickly, teenage sims have a lot to do now and as an adult you have some sort of childhood memories and also grandparents for your kids!

Making A Character -- Design a house --- Play for 15 min , dnt know what to do and get bored 🥲

Yeah I do everything you said and it helps a little bit, but it also emphasizes how much "pretending" I have to do to get a story to play out. If play childhood friends, I have to "pretend" a crush has developed because there is no crush system. I was playing the landgraab family and I "pretended" a secret daughter was born (the sims could careless). I "pretended" she discovered the magic realm (b.c its not something a sim can discover). She became a bitter and evil spell castor who I "pretended" tricked people into drinking her cursed potions (b.c the sims only drink it if I made them do so). My boredom stems from all the "pretending" I have to do. I wish the game allowed me to see these things play out instead of having to "pretend" all these actions are happening.

I actually make tons of sims but just use one because I made him a background story that's so good no sim would ever be more special than him. I don't get bored playing with him because he is like the best sim💀

Something I’ve done recently to spice up my game is played on short life span. If you’ve been playing this game for as long as I have, (6 years), it’s easy to get bored quickly with whatever family or scenario you’re playing. I tend to get attached to my Sims and I’ll play a few generations until my founders ready to die and then I don’t want to play that family anymore because I like my founder! If you play on short lifespan, there’s not enough time for you to get attached. You move through generations very quickly; itand becomes a lot more challenging to try to fit in everything you might want to when you have only a few days for each life stage. Thanks for your tips! 👍🏻💛

“Don’t go over every lot in the game and replace it with new ones” Yeah I made that mistake. It took hours and I barely even played with that save.

I definitely do some of this already, like upgrading buildings to things I actually like. For Discover University, I made a few variations of dorms and load them in before I play, it's so much more fun! I haven't added sims to the game, I just auto populate with townies, but I really should do that. Thanks! Oh I also create sims as characters, that's a really good tip!

Sims 4 needs a video explaining how to not get bored. Sims 2 and 3 never needed such a video.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s even the game’s fault I’m bored, this is happening to me with everything. I lost the motivation to draw, I can’t finish an entire video half the time, I can only watch 30 minutes of a show/movie, and I’m sleeping all the time. Idk what’s happening to me but maybe if I get an idea for this game I’ll pick up my Apple Pencil again 🙃🙃

Thank you! I've been paying with this game for over years, yes, really, and your video is in any case useful and interesting to get new inputs!

Those are some good ideas! I really think your changing lots and townies idea is on-the-mark. It's been like nine years! Of course we're all sick of the same faces and places XD

Thank you! Definitely going to try this.

This is great advice!! Thank you.

TYSM this helped..😍😍[u are underrated btw]

Thanks for the tips!

I’ve been playing the sims for years! I mean years and I would always make a lot of sims and get bored of them and make new sims. It so bad to the point where I had so many sims my game started crashing. I recently restarted my sims, or I just started a New game with no made sims and my gameplay is about me and my life and what I want to accomplish in real life. What I don’t have I will put into the storyline of the sims I just made which is me! If you haven’t played the sims, and made your gameplay about your life, and I mean making your sims look like you, give your sims traits that you have in real life, and live your goals on the sims, I found doing this has honestly given me big motivation in real life just by living a separate one on sims!

Good ideas!

I bought the game back on 2016, and I started to play it recently. Its only the Sims 4 with no packs ( I am going to learn what that is ). The reasom is because, I cannot draw my OC, so I can make a 3D model of him on the game & play. It has been a blast these two days !

I like making random twists. Noticed the husband on one save file being kinda mean every time the couple spoke, but it wasn't something she made a big deal about. Randomly one day I made him cheat on her with an old friend. Tore the marriage apart, but it's put drive in that save file I haven't had in a long time. Something out of the blue (even though it's in your head), the sim doesn't know it yet.

Great ideas

For me its so hard to find good builds on sims, that only or almost only use the packs I have. Most of them use all pack available and I am bad at building myself 😤😤

i dont have seasons and when i tried making a holiday i couldnt it only said if i wanted to make an event aka a party or a wedding

Great advice

I play on console and I try to put lots in each world so it is different. I add a ton of restaurants lol

I love playing 100 Baby it's a lot of fun

I play elves moving into human lands (opposite of Palia's theme lol). So my sims have pointed ears from the genetic inherent ear mod by starcaller senni. I have vampires and aliens as the ear mod requires those. Then they just poop babies. But on the subject of not getting bored this is a thing I'm afraid of overplaying since I get insomnia in phases irl. I burn up games quickly. So my rule is I can only play ts4 now during the daylight hours of real life. I'm bored but at least I'm not bored of Sims4. Looking for a second game I can play at night before I fall asleep. I don't want another house building game try to get something more combat orientated. I'm not paying $60 for Baulder's that's to much on my budget. Played everything else there is in spades. Like I said, insomnia.

I’d love to know what you do to make your game less boring 😊

There arent even holidays in the calender ? i have only basegame

Is the sim on the thumbnail available on the gallery?

I can't add holidays in the base game.

How do u add more sims

i open the gamr and get bored before the home screen even loads

Yeah but it randomizes traits

I don’t think I’ve ever actually played this game and I have over 3k hours on it. I just change their clothes and decorate some houses and that’s it. Nothing else about it is interesting enough, you have to fill in the blanks too much by yourself. It’s boring.

Girl i Need money

Seriously I buy a new Sims content , play and realise still boring....😅

ur scary. just add two more letters to dani and its my name.
