I watch some YouTubers play Sims. Sometimes I get ideas from that, or in one case, it's just amusing. GrayStillPlays does videos where he puts his Sims in bad situations, like 100 Sims in one house, or making them run on treadmills till they die, or making a house with a pool like a hedge maze and they have to swim the entire thing to get to the food/bed/bathroom area. That kind of thing. (And I love how he names his Sims. Like Bab Ross, Florida Man and Beth Amphetamine, and the cats are Spleens and Tonsils. He also plays other games with the same idea of messing things up as much as possible.)
I also like James Turner (TheSimSupply in the forums/gallery) and lilsimsie. James did one recently where he only used the base game and Seasons and tried to get in as many of the holidays as possible during the (sponsored) video. (I'm still waiting for that house to be uploaded to the gallery.)
I do try some challenges once in awhile, but I don't count the points. It's more to see if I can actually finish. My attention span for continuing my game is pretty weak. I've started two games in the last two months or so, and haven't played either one that long. But this is after months of not playing at all, so still better than nothing.
So I recommend watching some let's play videos for inspiration. You might want to emulate what's in the game, or take it off in an entirely different direction.
