For people with 1000+ hours on TS4 -- What keeps you playing?

I think what keeps me interested the most is that I find the game relaxing. It's the happy, safe space in my chaotic life. I love coming on and loosing myself in my sims day to day lives and having the ability to pause the game or save and quit for a space of time when things get too crazy is nice as well.

I get bored and take breaks but for whatever reason I always come back to the game because it brings me joy.
