User blog comment:LostInRiverview/The Sims Wiki Monthly Question - May 2014/@comment-5248145-20140501032956

I honestly don't think that the point of the Sims is difficulty (or have the lack of), rather it is on the players' imagination to make things as difficult or easy as they want. (Did you really think that cheats were there because the game was so broken? I mean, that's what the mods are for, right?)

So the real question then becomes whether people are really with less imagination than what they used to have. I guess that's why there are unending games like Candy Crush. (And I'll be honest that I do play it, but only to "empty" my mind before bed to go to sleep. Yes, it is that rote for me. HA!)
