Guaranteed this will follow the new trope of characters in a video game becoming self aware
I feel like it'll be basically Barbie, but themed after The Sims.
I think a better approach would be flipping that concept. Do a Sims isekai like thing. Real person gets thrown into the Sims world and has to manage a bunch of idiotic Sims with their god-like powers.
Like the main character stumbles upon someone in their pool freaking out and drowning and they have to realize they need to add a ladder out of the pool.
I keep thinking about the B story in Gamer, where like the "Slayers" FPS game Gerard Butler is in, his wife is in something like The Sims and it's just super fucked up, not least of which is because of the whole "someone else is in control of your body" thing.
I was thinking more campy/comedy where the NPCs are kinda silly/idiotic like Sims and the Player/main character has to prevent them from basically killing themselves.
Although it does also lay up for something like a horror movie, where some god like hand randomly appears at times and just messes with people.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, after all.
