So I picked up Late Night for The Sims 3 (the Open World still makes it the best Sims game, even if the Story Progression system needs fixing), and so turned off everything else and played with just it and the base game.

Just went with the one Sim, which is something I rarely do, and it was fun trying to get everything I wanted into a small apartment (couldn't get a TV in there with the three different art objects, and I got back into the swing of things. It was all going great, I'd got my first promotion and was on my way to fulfilling my lifetime wish when my laptop ran out of power. Guess I forgot to plug it in. I'm going to have to start again, but that's fine as I wanted to swap out a couple of traits anyway.
