Is anyone else insanely bored of the sims 4, insanely quick?

i didn't play it that much. I didn't actually get my copy from games4theworld, so i guess you could say i've been player it for a much longer amount of time.

I also got a legit "Limited Edition" copy of Sims 4, long before G4TW released the game. And I'm still not bored. Clearly, the way I "approach" games is quite different from many other people.

You just gotta EXPLORE.

Yes, that's basically what I tried doing so far: walking around the "neighborhood", as far as possible, and seeing what it has to offer. While my first impression about the game isn't too good, I'm still far from having "fully tested" the game (as a sidenote: how am I supposed to keep up with this forum, if I get bored too easily/quickly ? I always need to make things myself as interesting and challenging as possible).

A lot of people are getting bored with this game mainly because as soon as they got the game they tried everything out, figured out all cheats, and are now bored. But I think its just because we as simmers are just so grown on the sims 2 and 3 with expansions and so on. The sims 4 is great to its own extent, it just needs to be given a chance to prosper

Actually I came to the forum today to see what people where saying about the gameplay, I was wondering if it was worth it to give it another go.

Of course people play differently but I don't think it's just the case of many expansions vs. no expansions. I remember enjoying sims 3 straight away.

Moreover, for me the creative aspect was very important, after having so much fun with CAS in sims 3 I just can't go back to the limited creative possibilities of sims 1,2 and now 4...

Let's hope that The Sims 5 is going to be better then...

It's The Sims 3 with a quarter as much stuff and twice as many bugs, of course it's boring...

And yes, the "traditional" technical problems in Sims games are too well known to need further elaboration.

But without these "store items" Sims 3 would be much less fun, in my opinion.

I was talking strictly about the base games, since everything else comes down to the size of your pockets, which in my case aren't very deep. The Sims 4 lacks pretty much every major (or even remotely big) feature The Sims 2 and 3 brought to the series.
