Do country/economy differences actually change how you play life sims, or is it flavour?
ome life sims give different countries real mechanical differences (salaries, life expectancy, crime), others treat birthplace as cosmetic. When a game does simulate it properly, does it actually change your decisions — do you emigrate for the salary multiplier — or do you pick your country for the vibe and ignore the numbers? Trying to work out whether that depth ever gets noticed in practice.
