These are exactly the games that Small Stakes Hold'em addresses. If you haven't read it, read it. I guarantee you will find mistakes you are making.
Here's a few ideas:
1) If you hold a hand like ATs in the BB, 5 limpers & the SB completes, what do you do? If your answer is anything except raise, that's a huge error. When you have a hand that plays well in multiway pots and a lot of people have put money in the pot preflop, you should try to get as much money in the pot as possible.
2) Play more aggressively on the flop. Make sure you count all your hidden outs, including backdoor draws.
3) Bluff less on the river, value bet more on the river, call more on the river.
4) In these games, big unsuited cards go down in value, suited connectors and small-medium pairs go up in value. Adjust. If there's a limper, a raise and a call in front of you, you can call from LP with a small-medium pair.
5) sets have even bigger implied odds in these games.
Finally, post some hands where you got sucked out on, let's see if there was anything you could have done to prevent it.
