Don't know about the no rabbit holes. For single sim families it's alright but just add one more with some kids and it's going into a nightmare controlling everybody. Take a cop. Now add in all the buy items you need to make an inside cop shop (100 items) He meets up with a female roving reporter and her camera man at a fire. Now, add in all the inside buy items to make a journalist building (100 items). They romance and get married. For the next weeks you're snapping back and forth between their jobs. She gets preggers and out pops twins/triplets. While you're playing the cop making a raid on the criminal building, one of the twins **** her diapers and you have to snap back to home and the cop gets beat in a fight with an evil overlord. :oops: the three kids grows up and all over the place riding their bikes, fishing, going to the park while simultaneously you're snapping back between the 8 hour cop and journalist jobs.
Don't even get me started on the 8 young singles living together in a renovated factory loft! :cry:
Maybe a day every week where they go out in town and do something but not everyday.
The nuts and bolts of that and every job place going to need 50-100 unique items in the buy catalog is unworkable.
