Can the content get too overwhelming?
I have been playing Sims since... well, The Sims. But, I go through stages of playing as much as I can, dreaming about it and making plans constantly. To then do nothing for months. I tend to lo...

This seems pretty normal to me. It is natural for your interest in things to rise and fall, rise and fall, over time. This just means you are a healthy human being with lots of options, interests, and priorities. I love playing the Sims. But it's not the only thing I love. So I don't play it all the time, nor do I expect myself to.
If this seems to be your pattern, and you are not happy with it, you might be buying content you don't really have a plan for. I generally don't buy a pack until I have at least one clear idea of what I want to do with it. I know a lot of players like to "complete the collection", but maybe that's not really for you. Consider holding off on getting a new pack until you know exactly why you want it.
I'm not really a legacy player, so not much I can say here. But maybe it didn't appeal the second time because you tried to do it in the same way. Like watching the same movie over and over. It gets boring. I've seen a lot of interesting looking legacy style challenges. Some of those might spark new ideas for you.
Nothing wrong with that! :lol: Some of my stories get complex enough to need notebooks full of info and post-it notes all over the wall. But then... my husband is a pretty hard-core gamer and D&D player. He doesn't seem to think I'm crazy.

I tend to log in, download more content in the sales as if I am just trying to complete my collection. Play for like 10 minutes and find I just can't get into it.

I have tried the legacy and got to the 10 gens, tried to do it again but it didn't hold the same appeal.

Tried rotation play but got so obsessed with planning their lives out through the generations my husband thought I was mad with my notebooks and flash cards!
