Um, that's what makes a sim a sim.  |
Go back and play some sims of the mid-90s and earlier. Even with their "realism" I could pick them up and play within an afternoon. I'd be proficient within two or three days. Contrast to now. The bar for sims was raised, but not for the better as far as the bottom line was concerned.
