Why have you stopped?
I usually take breaks from all my games for a few weeks and come back refreshed - I rotate my play through my games as needed. Or I will focus on one short game until it's done and come back to the endless types of games later on.
Have you purchased any expansion, GP or stuffed packs?
I own everything besides my first pet stuff because it's a clear cashgrab and full of bologna.
Do you play any other iterations regularly?
No, I don't have the energy to find mods for sims three that don't make the sims absolutely terrifying to look at. Plus that game ran terribly with all expansions.
Are you interested in a TS5?
I mean, eventually. Don't really care right now though.

The only reason I still play as regularly as I do is because of the some 60GB of mods I have - which include MALE HAIR AND CLOTHING, various maxis match furniture and items that expand maxis made collections that were missing things, tattoos, piercings, makeup, skin tones, skin details (like freckles, scars, dimples, wrinkles, different shading, face overlays, etc), a bunch of random accessories like nail polish and 3D eyelashes, and some 'other mods'

And then I have a bazillon script mods that fix the game. Make bills harder, make work pay less per hour, make certain jobs even worth it (acting), free up locked items, fix the clock lag, fix so many broken sim interactions, Kids Can Cook!, single-drink tea and coffee, a whole bunch of new traits that make my sims feel more unique, things that add spontaneity or reasonable reactions (why are you crying over a dead stranger for the same time as your dead mom???) and so much more.
I spend 80% of my game time making new sims in CAS, or building and decorating homes. The rest is just messing around in the families I made.
