There's a whole genre of such games.

- Modern Farming. Has really good working models of expensive farming equipment. There are videos of real farmers playing it.

- Lawnmower Simulator. Yes, really. Mow enough lawns, get a better mower.

- Power Wash Simulator. Not kidding.[1]

The first game in this category was probably the famous Desert Bus.

If you like Power Wash Simulator, you'll LOVE the relaxing meditative idle game Paint Drying Simulator, and the exquisite organic fractal patina of its sequel, Paint Peeling Simulator. ;)
