Being a continual sufferer of re-startitus, I wondered what makes other people quit their games and start all over again? Do you use the same lots? The same sims? For me, I can be trundling along ...

I have ADHD and I've always really struggled to stick with anything. I have a savefile only for building houses, I find something interesting for sale on a real estate website and try to copy it in the game. Then I have a save for playing around and testing mods or CC, which is a mess. I also have saves for my stories, one for each simlit or challenge. But I have to jump around between them to avoid getting bored with a single playstyle.
I also have ADHD, and struggle with burnout on saves. I've found that the best way for me to play was to create different saves for my various gaming moods.
My legacy save game that is now on generation 5, where I play each rotationally so that they can eventually close their chapters and move to the afterlife, but still genetically contribute to the ongoing storyline. This is my biggest save, probably 20'ish played households I think.
I have a save game for scenarios, so if I'm just looking to accomplish a goal and check boxes, I can hop into one of the active families and don't feel obligated to hyperfocus on any one thing.
There's one specifically created to play out the Sims version of Penguin Town. This save is my most challenging. I have to play when I'm able to focus on it because of all the chaos in story development and multiple households with 4+sims. But it's a great one to load if I'm looking to incite chaos or be mischievous.
Lastly, an alternate legacy save game that I've almost abandoned. It's more or less a playground where I go to be creative without a lot of pressure to do a lot of things or immerse myself into a story or family.
