Your Favourite Ways to Find Inspiration

I play 50 households rotationally, so it's pretty easy to simply switch my focus. There's always some family or single sim that is different, that needs my attention to move on with their lives. Some own businesses, some seek fame, some are rebells, some has a mission in life. But still, with all this variety, there are times I just don't get into it. Taking a break might trigger some new ideas, but sometimes I just visit households without playing, just to watch the simology etc. I might get new ideas that way, or at least some inspiration to play. Or I might ponder over my sim community, realizing that there are important jobs that someone ought to have. Formal jobs like Doctors or police etc, or some job that I make up, like Janitors. Then I will need to organize and suddenly I'm into playing again. Oh, and because I make videos featuring my sims there will often be need of adjusting looks and locations before a scene is shot, which is kinda playing the game, too :)
