A lot of stuff like gardening and rearranging furniture can be done in VR, but you're right that actually bending over and weeding virtual gardens is a lot harder to zone out to than slghtly moving a thumbstick and watching a character do the weeding on screen.

I think you'd want to a avoid first-person "immersive" VR in that case, and instead go for a 3rd person "god eye view" of the environment. So still have little characters running around, but you could still lay back on the couch and relax while you curate your miniature village.

Then you can avoid needing the 1-to-1 translation of hand movements IRL to chores in game.
