The trendy "1 in 8 billion life simulator" game gets boring after a couple of tries

Even if you are born in a chaotic country like Afghanistan or Congo, you can live quite well (at least graduating middle/high school, getting a job, and getting married makes you part of the top 5% talent in that country).
Conversely, even if you are born in a developed nation like the US or Europe, the life story is roughly the same (graduating school, getting a job or starting a business, getting married, having kids, and retiring to the countryside when you get old, etc.).
Your spouse is guaranteed to pass away from illness or an accident before the age of 50.
If you remarry someone else after that, they either die quickly or you get divorced; there is never a case where I die before my spouse.
Your happiness level doesn't increase unless you raise a dog or a cat, but even if you do, they die within 10 years, which ends up draining all the happiness you worked so hard to build.
The spending options are limited to a few life paths like child-rearing, home repairs, family dining out, overseas travel, hobbies, and getting certifications. There are no high-status professions like doctors, lawyers, or politicians, nor are there exciting career paths like celebrities or athletes.
In the end, I quit after playing it a couple of times. Has anyone experienced a different type of life other than the ones mentioned above?
