And damn good Engine Failures after V1 and after TO are a good way of testing the underarm sweat glands. You're right- sim training in the last few years has become box ticking with no element of fun or stretching flying skills. To the question near the end 'we have a few minutes- anything you'd like to practice?', the reply has to be 'no thankyou.' Practice anything to fill out time 'for fun' and make a balls up, and you may find you fail your check. It's like a driving test examiner saying 'you've passed (so far). Drive me back to the Driving Centre.' Decline! Say 'thanks, but YOU drive this one!'.
