"What Video Game World to Be Trapped In?"

"If you were forced, what video game world would you like to be trapped in?"

Well, if it depended on how I play the game, I would pick The Sims (probably The Sims 3). I would be able to garden and fish to make food that confers immortality. Or I could learn witchcraft and alchemy to make potions for the same (among many other things). Also, I could write a full novel in a day or two, and then have every one of them be published for guaranteed income (for the six weeks [The Sims 3] or 20 days [The Sims 4] or so that they bring in money before it goes away forever), making anywhere from like §15 at starting out to up to §13,000 per book per pay period ( depending on the game, daily [TS4] or weekly [TS3]). And that's just if I wanted to be a writer. I could also fairly easily try my hand at any of the other career paths, as well. Unlike in real life, getting a job in the world of The Sims is as simple as dialing a telephone or reading a newspaper, after all. And after half a year or so, if even that long, I'd have more money than I'd ever need.

However, if it was based on how other people play the games... eh... maybe The Sims wouldn't be such a great choice, after all... >_>;

Otherwise, I might say X3: Albion Prelude, given that it is the game in which I've spent by far the most time in real life. It's not necessarily safe, but it's probably the most profitable, especially for once I'd made enough to buy a big enough (and slow enough) personal ship that I didn't have to worry so much about dying due to the poor AI piloting (which, if I were there IRL I'd probably never use) crashing me into an asteroid or something. Also, if you avoid the big storylines, you can play this game entirely passively, without having to fire a single shot (or, later, if you have to because one of your factories is being attacked or something, you can just send in remotely controlled ships to blow up any aggressors while you, personally, sit completely safe a dozen sectors away).

Beyond that... I don't know. Stardew Valley maybe (and even though I haven't really played it myself, I'd figure that Harvest Moon would be similar)? Or perhaps Animal Crossing? In any case, I'd be looking for something casual, in which it's fairly easy to become rich (even without cheating), and without having to fight all the time (or at all), but still with plenty of interesting things to see and do.
