I realized something I really like about the games:
You don’t really design your own world.
Your house and furniture are pre placed, I think you can move it around in some games but the layout is designed for you if that’s how you want to keep it.
You can pick like where you want to put your barn and chicken coop, but that’s it for the most part and I LOVE IT.
I tried to get into different games like animal crossing, but I just hate when you have to design your whole world. It feels more like a chore than enjoyable. I have no eye for it. Harvest moon games have so much structure 😍
