I've been following this game quite a while, yep. But I also play it sometimes in a less-than-efficient manner - like if I know something I want is coming up on a Saturday, I'll skip right through, as much as I can, so could waste 7 or 14 datys just getting to the event. There was another time the book said to wait for one of the girls, so I skipped ahead several days before realizing I had to hit a prerequisite lol.
I have eight games that I keep on my phone, playing new updates as they come up, and this is one of my favourites. Playing multiple games keeps me from going crazy waiting for an update :)
