For me

1. That I have to work to get things unlocked
2. That I have to work hard getting their promotions ( making them workaholics takes time )
3. Raising money defo.
4. Having so many rooms to fill full of furniture.

Well

I only have simple things right now but my house is totally renovated now.

Living room
Table
2 quality sofas
2 plants

Toy room
2 pirate ships
Paddling pool
Toys ( 220 coin lot )

Office remodel in red

Kitchen remodel ( unsure )

Checkers workshop floor

Bedroom
Bed
Reindeer

That's about it for now I'm going to be buying new things soon

The family:
1. My family, of course! The family flows perfectly with each other, and of course, they're MY children. Every parent loves to brag about their children, don't they!
2. Our steady income and food level.
3. Despite #2, our small bank account. Being relatively poor makes the game more interesting.
4. The appearances of everyone. Each child is unique, yet you can easily tell the family is just that, a family.

The house:
- The renovated rooms. Although only on generation 1 (for life) two rooms are renovated.
- The strategic design of the parents' room.
- The neutrally colored, simplistic decor.

Good luck with the new purchases, ShadowMist! Enjoy your family.
