In need of specific, general play style, or just Legacy play style suggestions

I tried legacy once, strated in Riverview, with one sim I created. He married Ruby Broke (I wanted him to marry a townie, so I could get the conncetion to the community life). I had nice experience overall until I ditched that save (though the legacy challenge has failed... :lol: I'm too used to play on epic). It was interesing for me to get to know the families stories/secrets via the legacy. Also Riverview is bigger- has more lots so that's why I originally picked it for my challenge.
