I love this game but this game does not love me. As a perfectionist at heart this game is the bane of me. There is so very much minmaxxing. From a beginners perspective this game must look like hell to try and learn, but having grown up with it for all these years its STILL daunting! I absolutely love it but by god is it a chore on my brain to pick up. If I ever forget to play on my file for over a week or two it feels impossible to go back because I have so much I need to remember again. It takes a very specific mindset to get into this game and I seldom find that. However I will add if you are a casual player, it's pretty fun! Don't let it get to you with all the stuff you can or can't have, just go with the flow and you're in for a treat. But for perfectionists like me it will take a toll. And a heavy one at that.
