How to be successful according to The Sims: step 1) own an acre of land with a shack on it occupied by several people who despite having no existing relation to you are completely under your control. step 2) everyone stands around painting all day and instantly sells even the worst painting for several hours worth of wages. step 3) within a week those paintings are going for more than even the most highly paid worker makes in a full day of work (which is only about 10 times the lowest wages, because apparently the world of the Sims has a comparable wage distribution to the USSR somehow). step 4) build yourself a mansion via telepathy and retire inside a couple of months while your painters keep passively providing you with endless free income.
ACTUALLY The Sims is sinister propaganda which tells you that Capitalism is Good and that the American Dream is alive and achievable.
(I've played The Sims a lot it's really fun)
