Start by going diner and getting fired. Than shout to your kids and check facebook till the end of the night... use your simulations to mess your marriage and making yourself not serious, etc ...than go get a book at library and read... For a start it worked for me... Follow the Logic of the game and dig everywhere.. color of the circles around thoughts have meaning... if it is red , work on that... Focus on One or two character at a time... Good luck, happy gaming.... Great game, very fun to play, still working on... Thank you retsymthenam
