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

I love to tell stories and to build community structures and faiths etc beyond the game itself, micro and macro. So, I spend lots more time on the game than the hours actually played. Love te planning aspects, seeing local laws, community mechanics, and not the least to find those single sims who affect my way of dealing with it all. So, guess it's the sandbox aspects. Benn with TS since 2001 (?), and had problems getting into TS4 as much as I did with previous series, but now it feels like Seasons fixed it all :)
