Am I the only person who can't seem to have ongoing story-based saves or generational saves or etc?
No you're not the only one. @NRowe is also a serial restarter. ? And I'm sure there are others. As long as you're having fun I wouldn't worry about it.
I've been playing the same save/family for almost 5 years. One reason is because I'm trying to complete all goals with that one family and the second reason is I've become so attached to them that I couldn't imagine playing another family.
As for scenarios there are a couple of ongoing scenarios that you might want to join in on. It's fun when several simmers are playing the same scenario and you get to see different approaches to completing it.
