In all honesty, I don't really see the point in making a Simulation game difficult, especially when it comes to The Sims. Sure, there are minor challenges in the game (i.e making sure Sims' moods stay happy and full, fulfilling their needs and wants), but apart from that, I see no challenging aspects in the game. However, I feel it would be good for the series if there was more challenging aspects involved in the game, just something that gives the game a little more oomph. As Icemandeaf stated below, the game is up to the player's entire imagination.
