I think the thing is, since after The Sims it hasn’t been about genuinely overcoming a challenge.
Like I LOVE sims 2. Still think gameplay wise it’s the best. Wish I could get sims 2 with sims 4 graphics but recognize with all the details of the world now that would take a lot of computer power.
But the only challenging aspect of it was through nostalgia glasses playing it as a kid. That’s why stuff like legacies and the ISBI and sooo many other wild challenges cropped up around that game. I even went back to it because I was all, ‘gee, earning money in legacies is easy in sims 4. I’m going to do a legacy in 2 again for more challenge.’
I actually earned more money faster. And got way more aspiration rewards. (Come to think of it, that’s probably why the needs potion doesn’t bother me too much. The electro need filler in sims 2 was only 15000 aspiration points which was 1 Dream date easy. That had five charges, no random downsides, and after a dream date you should be platinum and gold for awhile ANYWAY so no chance of failure and getting needs zapped dry.)
Now part of this is that I played sims 2 a lot. Like a lot a lot. So I learned the tricks. But I feel like a lot of people looking for a challenge kinda forget that it hasn’t really... been a goal of the sims for awhile.
