Of course we would totally pick the same bonuses to play! No worries, I haven’t really started yet so I will play test three different packs.
Great start, and your founder is gorgeous!

Get to Work and Get Together were a close 4th/5th as I just did something similar with my legacy, so I think both of those are doable.
Actually my legacy is similar in some ways except I only had one pregnancy and I started moving in spouses in the 3rd generation. But I did jungle adventures for the founder, then the 3 get to work careers for the next three generations. I strung it out over 10 generations and didn't delve into vampires other than using the non aging for my collector. And I only had one pregnancy every generation so there wasn't the pressure.

A new update has been posted - It has taken me 3 days to play 4 days. Maybe I will get to play more while I am on vacation.

I posted another update, but I am struggling with playing both the matriarchy mini and the ley-line mini at the same time. And I setup way too many holidays.

You're on holiday overload! I would say adjust the seasons and holidays before you completely start over and see if that helps

I second Mojo! And, if it's too much, just drop Matriarch and move Don in! You don't need to start over for that.

Re: Shades of Blue, OWBC, updated 7/20/18
Yeah I am going to drop matriarch and collector for sure. So Don is moving in and she will sell everything she has collected so they can have more money to spend on stuff for the kids. And I am taking Bad Apple off the list. I knew I started with a lot of mini challenges (too many) and figured I would end up dropping some. There is definitely a limit to the number a challenges that are doable in one game lol.
Also I will go ahead and remove 4 of the holidays I added since the game adds about 4 surprise holidays, but leave the seasons at 14 days for now and see how that works. Those changes may be enough.
Thanks for reading and the support and feedback.

I love it. I hate choosing/rolling for traits and aspirations so this is going to be great. Thanks for recommending it.

It is funny, just deciding to drop those minis made all of the stress disappear and poof.
