Have you stopped playing TS4, how long, and why?

I stoped playing years ago but about 6 months ago i bought a lot of dlc, all packs besides strangerville. And started playing, feeling great because i had so much to play with. The thing is, as the number of features increased, my acknowledgment of how shallow and similar my sims were also increased. I got to the point that i was bored of dealing with always similar characters. Once and once again. So now im rediscovering sims 3 and im having the fun i can't find in 4 anymore.
