A Question About Story Progression

Story Progression can have some weird outcomes. In one of my games where it was running from the very beginning, pretty much every couple divorced. Most of them have an active dating life, but they stay living alone. Combined with the mechanics that sims will move to a bigger house as soon as they can afford it, most of the SV houses, especially the large family homes, are occupied by singles, while the few households with kids are overstuffed, often even patchwork families anyway. I probably need to force some kind of "retirement home". I should probably also follow the suggestion to adjust those cooldown periods for breakups.

Those Showtime careers seem to be more of an issue in the university world, where the standard EA story progression is still active.
