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.

For me it's sometimes depending on what I set up so that will be my answer. I don't play it that way often however but I know the game can be challenging if I want it to be. If I want to play challenging I play a fuller house, and limit their lifespan. Maybe give their house traits that cause more chaos... but I rarely do that and only if I just want to play differently now and then. It's stressful play for me and that's okay sometimes.
Frankly though I like the option for it to not be very challenging, pacing wise at least because I want to tell stories here, or just enjoy the game as is. I want it to turn out the way I want it too for the most part with few wrenches thrown into what I see playing out.
I also find challenge in figuring out dynamics built into the game .. as in what do I learn to make this playthrough easier or more productive faster for my sim.. or how do I make their lives most miserable?
I guess the simplest example to give is when you start playing the game you know if you send your sim to the bathroom their hygiene will drop. So you figure out if you send your sims to the bathroom first then the shower it will give you the best outcome. Sure you don't have to do it that way but you can.
There are lots of things like this in this game.. from what fertilizer is best (just mentioned that in another post)... to do I really need to send my sim to the active career for them to progress and under what instances? To how do different traits respond to the same environment.. or changing environments? I know that might not sound challenging to some but it's fun for me.
