If you are being successful then you certainly don't need to change your game for change sake. You ery definately don't need to change because people are calling you predictable. In fact if it's predictable that you beat them then this is probably a backhanded compliment.
A lot of people equate playing what they think is Gus Hansen style poker with M4d sk177s, particularly in home games where some fool usually plays like a nut and gets lucky, never gets a big enough sample to get bitten by ariance and decides they are a poker god , they are not, they're a fool.
But the important thing is it doesn't matter what they think if you want to take the game even remotely seriously (if you are playing solely for fun then perhaps it's more relevant). The only thing that matters is your own honest analysis of your game.
That said perhaps you could for legitimate poker reasons do with being a bit looser in your starting range and post-flop aggression. It's a good idea to start this loosening up in the button and cut-off and work from there, effectively just stealing more. Add in some resteals from the blinds and some continuation bets when the flop looks scary to your opponent and you'll start to change your game and see lot's of opportunities to play creative poker. Be careful though, changing a part of your game can have a big impact til you get comfortable with what you are doing again.
Thing is though, if you pull it off your friends may not really know about it, because now you have this great image you should exploit it for all it's worth. So when they fold to your bet on an A45 flop saying "you've got AK" resist the temtation to show them your JQo!
