Do you find the Sims 4 challenging?
I decided to start this thread/poll because of a couple comments in another thread claiming that the game is not challenging.

I do not believe a game always has to be challenging - as long as it is fun for the player. For me the fun factor is the most important aspects of the game.
Likewise I also believe that the challenge and or fun factor of the game depends on the individual that plays the game that finds at least some of what they are seeking in the game they are playing to make it most enjoyable.
In a game like the Sims series - some challenges come out of the ability of the game to be modded, or acceptable of player made content to offer more of what some players like - as well as to offer the same satisfactions to some player using just what is offered from the game itself - and I find the Sims series has pretty much always delivered all of this. It can be more challenging sometimes when one does play vanilla for some players and yet offer much less stress to those who seek their own type of challenges or less from player made content.
To me the Sims series is capable of being many things to many players because of it's versatility to fall within many ranges of ease or difficulty if one just seeks it out. The player can chose to make it harder or easier because of it's very design and the players imagination. Nothing is locked or wrote in stone.
Unlike so many games out there there are no iron clad rules on playing the Sims and why I believe so many age ranges find a fondness in the Sims series not found in most games for so many years. It can be what a player wants it to be.
Not that all people will agree - I am sure - it is what I have always seen in the Sims since the first game and continues for me right up to todays game.
