Ever tried making a family of evil children? They are creepy. If you still want to play, and just don’t know what else to try, the Challenges are the best way to get new ideas. Eventually you reach the point where only creative story-telling will work to make the game fun again. Even add-ons don’t really provide a great deal of satisfaction in Sims games, I would even say they hinder the gameplay more than they augment it.

After playing The Sims 3 extensively for my bachelor thesis (this still sounds wrong to me…) I took a break myself, since the game held nothing new. By now, every Sims player has probably hit it: the slump.
