If you created the ultimate video game, what would it be?

I was thinking. If you had unlimited time, money, resources and computing power and you could make any kind of video game you wanted, no matter how big or extreme (or not) it was, what would you make? For me my ultimate idea of a game would be one that is totally unrealistic to actually make as it could take up loads of TBs or space and need a really really fast computer to run smoothly:
A gigantic sandbox with realistic physics, 3D RPG like GTA V with a very large location with a coast, forests, mountains and city and many other locations to explore (some via missions and side quests). There would be thousands of unique things that would happen in the game based on what choices you make, so every action as a reaction some good and some bad. The game would have a day and night system with 4 seasons and varied weather conditions like rain, hail, snow, sleet, blizzards, hurricanes, drought, clear skies, floods, cloudy, thunder storms, earthquakes etc... and the weather conditions would affect things you can and cannot do.
You'd have a 100% customisation player which you could make look as realistic or nor so, as you like. To progress in the game, you'd need to do most of the things you do in real life. Earn money, get a job (which you will have to turn up for at certain times in game time, if you want to leave will have to tell your boss your leaving or your fired), buy a vehicle, get a place to live, pay bills, eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, wash, brush teeth (if you do to the hygene and eating things this affects your health and the options you have in the game as you can't go to some places being smelly, dirty or sleep deprived without negetive consequences) etc... You could find a partner, start a family, get a pet and so much more. Once you start doing this you could start to advance in the game.
The game would have elements of games like:
Motocross Madness 2 - You could decided when you have enough money to buy a motocross bike. When you do, you will have the option to become a professional Motocross rider by doing Stunts, Enduro, Baja, Supercross and Nationals races like you do in MCM2, if your bike needs repaired, you want a new and better bike and/or you get injured, you'll have to pay these, if you can't then you could lose your chance to continue this at the moment until you do have enough money to continue your career. Becoming a motocross rider would new and unique to this mode locations like places you'd got for competitions or to do stunts or race around.
Tony Hakws Pro Skater Series/Matt Hoffmans Pro BMX, Kelly Slaters Pro Surfer - Same as above, but like these games for Skateboarding, BMX and Surfing so you could try to be the best at these. Doing one or more of these would unlock some new and unique to this mode locations like places you'd got for competitions.
Farming Simulator - You can become a farmer and do all the things you can do in farming simulator. Similar applies to Train and Flight Simulators. You could also even do the same for boats, be a car mechanic and more. This unlocks new locations, modes and other features you'd not have in the game otherwise.
The Sims/Simcity - If you want, you can run for mayor of the city or be a architect or other similar labour type jobs so you can design and create buildings, put in pluming and electricity to houses and do the kind of thing like you can in Sims/Sim City games. There could even be similar disasters to Sim City like fires, riots, crime sprees, UFO attacks, hurricanes, earthquakes etc... This way the city would look unique though each new play though, but this might only work for single player mode.
Deus Ex - Go to something like a type of of UNATCO academy, train hard and become an agent, get modified with augs, and uncover conspiracies Deus Ex style. This would unlock unique modes and locations, some you could only get to by playing this mode.
These above choices could also affect how your life is outside these career options and some people migjt come and ask you to do things based on your new skills, or you could be in more danger because of the choices you made,
Unlike GTA V, if you commit any crimes or violence and destruction, consequences for these actions are more like the would be in real life and you will be punished under the law if your caught doing anything like this and this will affect what you can and can't do in the game going forward and if you say kill a bunch of people or do something that bad and break the law, then you could go to jail for years or even get executed, in which case the game may end there for you. The game also ends if you die, and that happens if you get hurt badly, get infected by something, get sick and you don't get treated, don't eat or drink and or sleep for days etc... You can also age in real time.
You could also do things to annoy people like play music in your house/apartment too loud, drive around in a vehicle with music playing too loud, walk around in public naked or inappropriately dressed in it to name a few things. There are probably more things you can do, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
So basically this would be a huge realistic life simulator where no matter what you do, every little thing affects the game play and it would work online too so you could interact with people like in GTA 5 which would give you thousands of hours of varied gameplay depending on how you choose to progress in the game.
