I applaud you for deciding to do the advanced version with handicaps, because I don't think I could manage keeping track of so many restrictions (probably why I never have and will do the apocalypse challenge). I like how the house is coming together so far, too, and can I ask how you managed to get a gold talent badge in gardening so fast? I was struggling so much with that in my Disney Princess Challenge.
Also, I wanted to share some helpful links with you regarding the first-born syndrome and how to get the toddlers to not wake up the whole household. For the toddler problem you could download
this cool mod that lets them come out of the cribs by themselves. It's called CribGetOutAll (latest version was updated for Apartment Life). The pet beds method you used works too, but I thought I'd share the mod regardless in case you want to make it easier on yourself to use the cribs for your toddlers. As for the first-born syndrome, there's a
very informative video on YouTube about this problem and why it occurs. There's no official patch or permanent fix for this, unfortunately, but there are some temporary solutions such as going into CAS and '
rolling the pacifier' a few times or simply using the
FFS Lot Debugger (i.e The Batbox).

Thank you, I really appreciate that! Yes it is a bit hard remembering the restrictions, but I think I'm doing okay so far- I'd like to attempt the apocalypse challenge, but you're right, I don't know how I'd keep tabs on all the restrictions! I thought it would be easier to start with a legacy

I am *not* good at building stylish houses so at least I have the restrictions as an excuse if it turns out terribly! About the gardening badge: I don't know really, I just get them to garden a lot. The badges always seem to come thick and fast. I do have longer lifespans in my game though, so it might look quicker because of that

Your Disney Princess Challenge sounds cool, I'll check that out!
Thank you so much for your suggestions, that's really useful. I've downloaded the CribGetOutAll and love it. I chose to buy pet mats so the dogs and children could use it, looking back I probably should have gone for a cot haha. And weirdly I just did some reading about first born syndrome yesterday because it happened to another family in my game- argh! Thankfully I already had the Batbox but didn't know it could ''fix'' this, so now I know. It's a bit of a shame I didn't know that when the legacy kids were born, but oh well- next gen will be more varied hopefully
