I understand Farming, but now theres Driving Essentials, Truck Driver, Construction Simulator, 9-1-1 Operator, Airport Simulator, Bus Simulator and PC Building Simulator.

You could do some of these things by getting a job?

depends what kinds of games they are. there's full sims like X-Plane 11, or Command: Modern Air / Naval Operations. or there's like the Tycoon games that are more just for fun.

a full sim of 911 operator would be great. same with construction and airport, though exactly what that would be simulating is a bit iffy.

Truck Driving sims, I sort of agree. Unless maybe if it was extremely detailed, there's not a lot going on there. The one I've tried was not that great. Might be better with a wheel. Would also be better if you were driving around areas you new IRL.

Its a good thing I have a Class 1 then. It would be better if they had delivery missions in GTA5 rather than buying a game where thats all you do. I feel like construction sim would (could and should) be just a much-more detailed SIM City.

For a lot of those, it'd take time or training to get those jobs. Plus having to do something can suck the fun out of doing it.

Airport Simulator is the only one listed besides Farming that would take a while and a lot of schooling to get. But yeah when its your job if its not something you really like then it can be a chore.

I wouldnt mind trying it out if it was immersive. I dont want to play a game where all you do is drive and never upgrade anything or progress in any way.

You upgrade your trucks, buy more trucks and start your own trucking company. You can own your own trailers and drive different types of cargo.

Can you send out NPCs on jobs to earn more money?

I like to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 & American Truck Simulator, but I don't play them normally. I have a mod that removes damage and traffic tickets, so I play it more like Need For Speed. I'll go barrelling down the highway at 100 MPH with an articulated trailer loaded with 19 tons of concrete. And woe to anyone who gets in my way.

I also like to try to create the most absurd looking trucks possible.

This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

I could be a pro wrestler but funny enough I prefer to actually watch and play things based on them. Who would have thought?
These games are not for me but they clearly have a market so eh.
