So I have been playing with the new rules and have a few questions/clarifications...
First, can we start with a grocery (as the previous rules) or are we to "find" seeds and make due until we max gardening to get a grocery.
As I have never played this type of challenge where my world is empty, how do I populate my town? I know there are always NPC running around (handyman, maid, etc.) but without empty houses in place, no one else actually moves to town and builds (places) a town except my non-heirs I choose to move out...is this how it is supposed to work? The only homes that are actually in the community will all be related to my founders? (I run no mods on my game) So all future generations will be meeting and marrying NPC's or work mates who do not actually have a house? until I move them in to one of mine.
Thanks if anyone can answer these questions! Also, dropping the starting funds to $250,000 and making minimum skills to get a lot makes a big (huge, astronomical) difference in game play.
