Learning things would be easy. You certainly wouldn't feel the struggles that comes with gaining experience.
If I were my Sims character, I would be a charismatic, smart, physically fit astronaut and elite soccer player for the SimCity Llamas.

I'd scour the globe to find all the possible Cheat Codes and Console Commands and begin using them for personal gain and glory, before messing with the laws of physics leading to me beginning to unravel the very fabric on the universe, which causes me to embark on a quest of personal discovery to find an answer to all the damage I'd done, meeting all sorts of secondary characters each with their own rich but limited backstory that I'd need to resolve in some way until they ultimately help me in the end when I come to the final realisation that all my actions beforehand were done due to a pre-determined path I was put on by a far greater power than I known only as "The Player" that I have to confront, defeat, and travel through dimensions to save all I know and love.
And then I'd do it all again in New Life+.

Well, apparently I can crouch to steal, and I can pick up anything I like as long as I did enough nice things in return. I have a slow-motion, auto-relfex, kill mode. I can pile anything at all onto my body so long as I'm okay with just moving slower for a while. I can self-medicate myself to full health without a medical degree or bandages, even though I had four broken limbs and had radiation poisoning. Oh, and apparently I can make people and other things fly into a mass of gibs if I hit them hard enough with something.
I'd figured that everything would be like the Scott Pilgrim series (the graphic novel one, not the motion picture one, because Micheal Cera doesn't exist in the former...or does he? DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN!).
We'd all go about our normal lives until suddenly you are challenged to a fight and the winner gets to keep the remains of the loser (which is represent in some loose change), ninjas are real, deadly, can manuver in sub-space, and might contain sexy phases, vegans and psychics are the same thing, swords can be pulled out of you when you level up, and death is avoidable if you've manged to snag an extra life.

If life is a game, then I think I'd prefer to reroll my character.
It's all wrong, and my character build is completely useless.
Sounded good on paper, but it just didn't work out in practice.
Also, my character looks nothing like what I made in the editor. What's with that?
I think this game is really buggy, and unbalanced.
Nerf CEO plz thx.

It'd be a lot easier to grind for cash for one.
Also, at level 80 I'd be godlike, not walking with a cane and forgetting where I put my keys and hat.
My most used buttons would be F5 and F9 (for all occasions good AND bad)

Suicide whenever I'm feeling down or bored, then just reload. Make me feel better.
Also grinding all of my skills so that I'll get better at them, but if I do that, then everyone will do that and eventually, I'll either be the same or worse off because everyone else did the same either the same amount or even more.
I would feel less bad about having violent thoughts, since I would just kill the person that made me mad then reload.
It wouldn't be weird to walk around with a giant axe and I probably would, just because I could.
Magic. All day, every day.

I would be immortal. Death just means I respawn. Running out of lives just means I respawn further back in life.
There would be no weight limit to what I can carry, only a limit on the number of each item I can carry. Alternatively, if there is a weight limit, I can turn it off.
I would have been able to choose my race, gender, sexual orientation, general looks, and backstory at birth. I also would start life at 20, unless this were Fallout 3. In that case, I just skip ahead ten years every few minutes until I reach 20.

You wouldn't have to pay taxes.
You wouldn't have to work ( or, if you did, you could just fast forward through the boring bits).
You would get a fancy playing card every time you slept with someone new.

Money would be a non-issue. Shopkeepers would buy EVERYTHING. I could probably get by from selling the plants that grow in my yard everyday because they respawn daily.
Leveling Up! Yeah!
Killing the devil with the power of love.
Eating food to regain health...
Never needing to sleep...
Minimaps with enemy locations and line of sight indicators.
No bullets in bullet wounds.
