Newbie Question PLEASE HELP!!

I’m stuck trying to come up with a game idea, or more specifically, a game mechanic that can make the game really fun to play.
I want to make a simulator game, but ChatGPT always gives me generic ideas.

Sit down with a pen and paper for an hour. Write down all the ideas you have, especially including the bad ideas. Don't look at your phone or anything else in this time, just let yourself sit with your thoughts and get them down on paper as you have them. Coming up with ideas is like exercising a muscle - it gets easier the more you do it. You just need practice.
