I think Cities Skylines 2 has simulation down to that level, where individual residents have houses, jobs, kids, go to school, can die eventually. etc. But it doesn't really seem to add anything to the gameplay and the game didn't get great reviews.
There’s a common rule of thumb in sim game design: “never simulate anything more than one layer of abstraction below what the player can actually observe”
