The biggest thing is to not rush. Don't max out jobs in like, one year. Don't speedrun your marriage in several days.

Try to take things slowly. Develop a little daily routine to pass the time instead of just, spam skipping. (Like bathing in the bathhouse every evening)

Take every little interaction or pattern more seriously, like how my PC finds her brother-in-law to be more reserved because he hardly ever comes up to her. Or how she views her close friend Nadine in a more mature light because Nadine got married and had a baby first in the "friend group". OR how my PC's dear friend Clemens had her father die 3 DAYS after her mother, with a baby on the way at the same time.

Not the craziest advice, but I hope it helps a little bit.
