- Replace buildings as needed, not up front. Or maybe that's just me? When I start a new save I want to play immediately, not waste time with the set dressing
- Age 20+, assuming two years of college (no degree)
- For skills I think four skills at level three is fair, because that's the amount CAS stories hands out
- Additionally I'd keep Likes/Dislikes balanced. If the sim has a liked activity that greatly benefits them in their career (like gardening for scientists), then I'd give them an equally hindering dislike (like cooking for the main chef in the family). If they like dancing, but rarely get to dance, then that like is "free" and doesn't require a dislike to balance it out.
