Don't just pick a lifestyle; plan your perk tree. For example, the 'Avaricious' perk in the Stewardship lifestyle can provide massive income. Always educate your children with guardians who have high relevant skills and positive genetic traits. Consider 'inbreeding' (carefully!) for specific strong traits if you can manage the negative consequences. Use 'stress breaks' strategically to gain powerful new traits, but be mindful of the risks. A well-developed character is a powerful character.
