What can I do to bring back my love for the game?

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 am "myself" with my selfsim in my game...


    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.
  • There's nothing wrong with taking a break sometimes. Trying to force myself to play just does the opposite for me. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Read your book, watch a tv series, take up a non-sims project and when you are ready to play again you will have lots of new ideas! :smiley:

    Is there a reason why you uninstall when you lose interest? For me, having to reinstall whenever the urge to play hits would suck the fun right out of it! I am currently on a longish break from the game but my game is still installed and ready to fire up when I am ready.

    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.


    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.

  • I took a break 3 years from Sims 3 in early 2017, and replayed again in September seems like I'm playing a totally new game and have forgotten lot of things and it keeps me interested, I'm on a break since 10th when Cyberpunk released and I'm sure I will have as much fun when I start to play ts3 again sometime later.
  • Ah, C'est l'amour. :D
