    You can try to do a challenge. There are loads of Sims challenges you can play. You can find them on the forums or a Google search. Challenges will allow you to focus on achieving certain goals so the game doesn't feel so open-ended (if that's where your issue lies). There's also nothing wrong with only focusing on one aspect of the game. You can just build or create Sims or set up screenshots or make SimLit or machinima or whatever strikes your fancy. There's nothing wrong if you're not interested in playing the game "traditionally". I haven't "played" in a casual sense in a long time, but I'm in the game all the time doing challenges and SimLit. If you need a change of atmosphere, try to recreate a specific time-period, or fantasy or sci-fi world. Or make your favorite novel/movie/series/not-sims-game in the game and play some fanfic.
