How do you start a new game?

I start with be spending HOURS in CAS and some days I save a sim at a certain point and then come back to it the next day. I spend a long time creating a sim because then I feel like I’m investing ten times more into their backstory.
In my opinion a strong backstory is the foundation of how you are invested in a sim. With a background you already have a personality for your sim. And how your sim will act, and dress, and what they like or hate. Their personal issues what they’ve been through etc. And before I actually play with a sim I create more sims to go with my main sim backstory and I add and delete venues so it’s not the same ones over and over again. And all of that is just the setup which takes couple a days. But by doing this when I play I by then have so many ideals running in my mind and write them and I just be so excited.
And now it comes to the actually playing it out. The Sims 4 gameplay at times is soooo boring if you dont use your imagination. In other sims games imagination wasn’t really necessary because it had so may surprises and activities but in Sims 4 it lacks. So use your imagination with your storytelling. Want a sim to cheat then cheat the relationship, when the sim to get fired out of nowhere, let them get fired, want the sim to get so drunk and accidentally get pregnant then don’t know who the baby daddy is then do it ohh and they also married so they have that on them DO IT!!
I think playing with the white picket fence and happy feelings is repetitive and boring. So stir the pot up a little bit you’ll be surprise how much fun you have.
