How do you try new things in your gameplay?
Lately I've challenged myself to try some new things with my gameplay. I tend to repeat the same types of sims and storylines. There is so many opportunities with this game that I really should branch...

I look up sims challenges. They really help spice things up. Sometimes I'll even add extra rules to make it that much more interesting.
My current playthrough I've come up with a crazy apocalypse story/scenario that will limit what I am "allowed" to do. If you usually go the suburban family route, try being a bachelor/bachelorette for as long as possible or vise versa. Focus on a career that you've never done before or consider not having a career at all. If you usually play one gender and/or sexuality of sim try doing a different one. Do an alien or vampire sim if you have the stuff for it. I usually start off with just one sim, so those few times when I start off with multiple sims are a bit more interesting. Do different aspirations or traits that you usually ignore. Get into things you don't usually get into. Do you do a lot of mischief? Comedy? Have you done any music or writing careers? Have you discovered every collectible? I haven't for any of those. Find the aspect that you usually ignore and focus on it. See what happens.
