I was getting bored with the game, & quit playing for months...I went back to TS2 & TS3. But I recently just got back into TS4 when they patched in family trees. I decided to give the game a chance, & I finally got a good storyline going & I'm having a blast. Granted it's only been a few weeks that I've been playing LOL, but so far so good. I'm not sure how you like to play, but for me it's all about storyline or challenges. Here are a few examples:

1. I like to start my game from scratch with no money & use no cheats & see if I can make money to get into a decent home.

2. I like to create a little bit of drama in my games....w/setting my household Sims with opposite personalities....I have a husband & wife...one is Evil/Insane & one is Good. I like to pick traits on at least one of my Sims that is a bit 'negative' just to see what will happen. My game has been playing out very unexpectedly & that's what is making it more fun.

3. Challenge - Playing with an 8 Sim household.

I like to build so that usually keeps me interested in all the sim games.

Frankly if you are having to force yourself to play it's probably a sign that it's time to go do something else until you feel like playing again.

Play something else.

I haven't gotten bored yet. Maybe instead of making an awesome family, make a totally dysfunctional one and see if you can help them hold things together or, failing that, play through their downfall.

Turn the game off and go outside... or continue stay in and start up TS2 or TS3 :unamused:

TS4 (with GTW) has a lot to do in the game, but I get bored because I'm not interested in my sims personalities; so I just don't pay attention to my sim and focus on collecting stuff and exploring my game features (my sim's just a means to get that done). Hopefully family play will be improved in 2016 and the emotion system will continue to be tweaked. I just hope Sims will be more unique.

Truth be told, I'm having fun with the game right now (I've just been in your position before with this game). Did you do the Easter challenge?

When my sim can't get that pink rare egg in the Game.
It has been two days! IMy sim has got two blue rare eggs but never saw a pink one.
It makes me crazy. :s

I suggest make a single sim and put him or her on the property in the forested area of Windenburg. Do not get a job just harvest the lemon and cherry trees on the back of the property and plant them on one side of you land. Plant enough trees to fill up a large potion of the land and build a house on the other side. Once you need help managing the trees make a club that does nothing but garden, these are your farm hands. I would also suggest you build a small outhouse with a sink on the outside. Always harvest all the fruit before you call in the farm hands.

I don't know what to tell you since I'm bored too. I've added mods to try to make it better but it's still not enough. I mainly play sims 3 instead

If I got bored of the sims 4, I would go play the sims 2 :) It is still sims and it gives me a break so I enjoy the sims 4 again.

In game, however, if you get bored, I would try to create stories for your sims, or start to enhance your town to make it feel more alive. (I added several clubs, and used the club feature to make bands that visit certain lots, police and criminals, etc.)
