I do like the very small beginnings, as they force you to focus on the few Sims you have. ACR is a great tool, I don't know how I've ever played without it :)
I would've loved having a Plantsim, but I didn't get one :(

I had intended for only one position in the Law career to be unlockable by Sims getting furious. So furious Sims after the first two would not unlock any more positions, until the entire career is unlocked when the Founder reaches Judge in the political career. I'm sorry if I didn't make that clear enough. Having so many lawyers running around town isn't very realistic, after all :)
