Sometimes, life can get you down. There are terrible things like death, unemployment, and illness that can really put a damper on your day, or your life in general. Wouldn't everything be so much better if it were like The Sims? Think about all the inconveniences that would no longer plague humanity (and pets if you have the expansion)!
Equality
The Sims are oddly accepting of everything, and I literally mean everything. Skin tone, body weight, sexual orientation, gender: none of it matters in the eyes of a Sim! Everyone is treated as an equal in interpersonal relationships, and in the workplace. What the heck is bias and racism? You can have as many gay weddings as you want, and equal pay for all of your Sims!
You know what does matter to everyone? How you act. If you're nice, then other people will like you. If you're mean, then, maybe not so much. It's a very simple system that real life hasn't seemed to figure out yet for some reason.
Supernaturals
People are great and all, but you know what's better? Vampires. Also werewolves, and fairies. The other life states are definitely a lot more interesting than boring ol' people, and they almost always have a leg up over humans. Vampires learn skills twice as fast during nighttime! Witches can create a never-ending supply of apples! Zombies...uh, zombies...zombies go "arrgh" and eat your plants. Look, they can't all be winners.
Learning
Learning is mostly just repeating a process or activity until you get it. Unfortunately, there's this thing in real life called "motivation." (Or rather, a lack of it.) This makes it hard to learn something, especially if you're a lazy, hedonistic college student. Sims can simply work on learning a skill until they pee their pants and starve half to death, and it's really easy, too! They can go from drawing stick figures to painting the Mona Lisa in two days. They can burn pancakes in the morning, and crank out ambrosia for dinner. They can even get their driver's license in a day! If people in the real world could have half of the work ethic of a Sim, the world would be so much more advanced.
Economics
Unemployment isn't a thing for Sims. Every single job is hiring at all times, meaning you can get your dream job the moment you move into a new town. But who needs a job when you can just type "motherlode" until your pockets are overflowing with cold, hard, Simoleons? This is one hundred percent illegal in the real world, and printing money will create a huge amount of inflation for the economy! Sims don't have to worry about things like consequences, those lucky ducks.
Life is hard. Life wouldn't be so hard if we could be a little bit more Sim-ish, or as they say, "Go spogando. Jowlenin!" There's tons of things that are so much easier in the Sims, like three-day pregnancies, the ability to buy fireworks legally in your state, and making friends by telling them the same joke ten times, with the occasional high-five thrown in, just to be safe. Even so, the best parts of life are probably the memories that people make doing things the hard way. And look at the bright side: while it would be great to be able to hack $50,000 into you bank account, at least you don't have to worry about dying because somebody deleted the pool ladder while you were swimming!
