I've never taken a break from Sims because I didn't feel like playing, I always want to play! I love this game! <3 Since the beginning when the first iteration was released, the only days I'm not playing are if I'm too sick, vacations, during hunting season, visiting family, computer on the fritz or our power was out due to a storm. For me, there's just so much to do and not enough hours in the day I can play to do them!
However, I DO get frustrated with certain bugs/glitches which causes me to rage quit sometimes. But I get over it, find a Mod to fix it, play another save, build, just ignore the problem or find an in-game workaround. For instance, the gardening bugs introduced with the patch prior to the Eco Lifestyle EP release in June, 2020 have been one of the most annoying for me. I love gardening, but I've had to resort to putting plants in household inventory or deleting them when it gets too bad. I guess I'm a glutton for punishment or too optimistic though because it's not long before I'll inevitably haul them out to try again or start a new garden.
I happily played a completely vanilla TS4 for over 7 years until the invasive NPCs constantly interrupting my Sims when they're out and about broke me. I got a Mod for it which started my journey to the dark side (they have cookies!) and I've never looked back. I could definitely play a vanilla game again, but I wouldn't have as much fun as I am now using my small, but growing list of Mods/CC. Just a cold hard fact for me personally, but I suspect there are many more Simmers that feel the same way. :)
Thank you so very much Modders/CC Creators and Happy Simming! <3
