So Um....

I’ve had this. When this happens what works for me is taking a break. Don’t force creativity. It’ll just burn you out and eventually you'll hate it. And when I’m on my breaks for days or weeks, I get ideas and just write them done on my note pad and come back to it

restyle premades to my liking,
create premades from other sims games that are not in ts4
or try out cas items i never use until there is fun ideas

if no fun ideas arrive while doing this i simply don't make new sims and play my existing ones

One thing I love to do is create an antithesis. If you have a type of sims that you use always go and create the antithesis. Even you can create your own antithesis. Try also combinations that you did not use before, you can have a good surprise with it ;)

There is a challenge that is called "100 days creativity challenge". You're supposed to create a given sim every day (of course you can skip days when you can't play or you're not up to it).

I would play it this way:
- create the given sim, play with him/her during that day.
- tomorrow create another one and put him/her in the same save. When you play this last one, you should make him/her interact with the one you created the day before, with stories that relate to their cas characteristics.
- Repeat it for 100 days.

You could play with celebrity from a different angle, like maybe become a celebrity chaser, get autographs and pictures of celebrities and sell for cash, be a photographer and invite only celebrities to model for your shots, become an obsessed fan to Judith Ward, start gossip and rumours, invite as many celebrities to your parties as possible, run a hottest spot in town restaurant, etc.

This might be a boring suggestion, but have you ever just tried the randomize option?

Ok yeah I didn't know how to title this but when you want a new Sim and you don't know what kind of Sim you want, what do you? I feel like I go back to the same old same old and I want to play but just can't make up my mind and stick with something. Any tips? I've tried recreating celebrities and I only stick with it for like a day and then I get annoyed with it.

I use the new Story option to create a random sim. It asks you questions and generates a sim depending on your answers. Its interesting, and I've ended up with some unique sims I would not necessarily have created myself.

Randomize once for the sim and once for the name. Go!

Cool! I'm going to add this to my "challenges" to-do list.

Rules:
- create a sim with story mode
- answer 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, pick last (10th) answer (without skipping any question)
- complete the given aspiration, career and level up the given skills

For added challenge create and play with a family instead of only one sim.

Use a character sheet generator like this one? https://createarandomsim.com/
