Ten or to fifteen years ago, a lot of game developers thought it would make games more exciting to add little "minigames" of skill from other game genres that the user had to win in order to proceed with the game they though theyd bought.
The designers of Sims Ambitions apparently didnt get the memo that it makes an otherwise enjoyable game very annoying to play.
