I don't buy the argument. You'd need to show not only that fake mopping-a-dirty-floor is somehow more imprinting than fake shooting-the-enemy, but also that mopping a dirty floor is a detrimental activity. Additionally, the game only glorifies household work to the extent that you think it does: you do household chores to make your Sim happy, so that he can advance his career, so that you can buy more stuff, so that your Sim is happy, etc. You could interpret this as a game that glorifies housework, but it also glorifies consumerism, hedonism, and career ambition. Or you can play it for other reasons entirely -- like to observe the character interactions. (When I played it, it was mostly to build interesting houses...)
