I like this idea and want to try it. A couple of questions.
What do you do if you can't/don't complete the goals of a generation? Go on to the next one or keep trying it? Like I've always had trouble getting kids into private school even though I know the elements that are supposed to work. I'll serve lobster and get no points for food!
Once they start buying good stuff do we buy the most expensive stuff (furniture, wallpaper, floors) or can we use custom content that is really cheap but has a high comfort/environment rating?

If you cant complete the goals they just bump to the next generation I guess, but with getting into private school trying over and over would probably be best, once they start buying good stuff just buy the perfect things for your ideal interior design, like I'm playing it now and I'm not using the most expensive, I'm just choosing my fav stuff which just happens to be a little expensive, custom content is allowed too.
I think the main challenge will be that people cant move out haha
