My current issue is not really PEPS related but "I updated my OS and now the game's being wonky" related. This led to me not wanting to mess up my existing saves (and I have a thing about not wanting to go back to a previous point so the whole play for now, revert to older save method just isn't working). That said, I'm keeping an eye on pack sales, in case Spooky Stuff is cheaper coming up to Halloween lol so... mini-PEPS?
You might not like my solution: to keep my existing saves intact, I just opened a new one and went in a completely different direction than usual.
Created brand new Sim sisters one of whom is in the Acting career, turned on aging *insert internal screaming as my norm is aging off* and I'm basically just seeing if this one draws me in (so far so good though it's only been a few days).
Other than that, my usual solution is: let's build something. Building for me is relaxing and head-clearing, which tends to help and I end up with something fun at the end of it.
