I play rotationaly. That way I am never bored because there are always different group of age in different households. I am also not afraid of adding a little drama in my gameplay. I am not afraid of divorce and then different type of custody ;) , I am not afraid of death (even a "forced" one).
Yes!! I love rags to riches.
You can also try the Breed the ugly out challenge.
Or Not so Berry.
Or maybe Build Newcrest
You don't have to play strictly by the rules. You can always make your own! :) It is you game anyway.
