Car mechanic simulator is extremely realistic when it comes to removing and reinstalling parts in the correct order. However, being a mechanic is much more than replacing parts. It involves troubleshooting a problem. Depending on the problem this requires the use of specialized tools and equipment, which means knowing how to use that tool or equipment. You need to be able to identify a part that may not have completely failed, but may be just at the edge of a usable tolerance. Knowing what tool to use far a specific scenario is important. When you are working on a vehicle you need to know how to overcome challenges like removing damaged hardware, rusted parts, etc.

One thing you should know about borderlands is that most people dont play it for the story.

The second game has an amazing vilain but the stories themselves are usualy your classic "defeat the bad guy" cliche. Its also a lot of juvenile humor wich sometimes work and sometimes don't.

The games dont take themselves very seriously and neither should you. Just watch a recap of the first game and play the second.

Mario games would be good, a lot of them don't require heavy reading and provide a lot of visual instruction. Also, because the character is so popular there's a ton of genres to branch out to while still keeping the same familiar characters. Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Mario Party etc. There's even Mario Baseball/Tennis/Soccer and more if you wanna get them into sports

My first game was bl2. Didn’t play 1 till way after and I just rushed though it to finish it. 2 is by far the best out of the series. 3 is good but not better than 2. You probably won’t like playing 1 if you play 2 first.

Play them in order.

The first is a little “clunkier,” but the playable characters from one show up as NPC/story characters in two, and it is immeasurably more emotionally resonant - sometimes positively, sometimes negatively - when you have played as them previously.

So, I've intermittently found myself in the same situation. As others have said, maybe an alternative use of your time till the spark returns, but I can also speak to the effectiveness of a sort of comfort game(example, I keep coming back to terraria over the years) something that even if you're not feeling it seems to draw you in time and again. If that's not something you have, that's OK too! Best of luck on finding something new and exciting!
