You're doing the exact same thing I used to do. When I first played Sims 4 I started with a single sim, found a partner, had a kid and then got bored.
But for quite some time now I've completely overhauled my gameplay. I've installed MCCC, am control-freaking each aspect of the world (dressing townies, match-making relationships between all the Sims in the game etc.) and keep track of the family trees in my game using theplumtreeapp.com. Tracing these family trees and seeing "genetics" progress through them is great fun to me.
Gameplay wise I've learned that (for me) the most fun sims to play, are the ones who are most unlike yourself. I've played a crazy, unfaithful vampire whose morale was completely out of whack. A fat scientist who worked her way to the top of her career and then became a bodybuilder, then cloned her married best friend because she wanted to date him... An extroverted party animal who keeps fighting over a guy... Stuff I'd NEVER experience nor want to experience in real life, which makes it all the more fun to explore those scenario's in a game. ? Takes some effort to step out of that comfort zone but once you do it, it can be great fun.
