So the Family Bliss achievement requires you to have 6 close family members as friends and you'd think the best way to gain it is by choosing Family focus. Unfortunately, there are no events (or at least I haven't stumbled on any) tied to Family focus that would make you friends with close family members - only some random events that increase your relations by 15.

Currently, the best possible way to gain that achievement is by picking Carousing focus and only inviting close family members. I don't think this is how the devs intended it to be.

I suggest adding some events to the family focus that would give you a chance to become friends with close family members. Or maybe a decision to befriend a family member or something. Either way, you should be able to get the achievement supposedly related to one of the character focuses by using only that focus, as it is with other focus-related achievements.

While the modifiers for the Family focus are good I feel it's the most passive/boring of the choices. Excluding the issues I still have with Seduction, I think that the Family focus is definitely the one that's lacking interesting events and choices and needs more added to it. The issue you mention with the Carousing focus being the better option with making friends with family members has always puzzled me with WoL, it's a focus that could definitely be improved with better and new events, choices, family drama and event chains.
If I remember correctly I don't think you even get event pop ups when your character's specific modifiers improve, which happens with the other focuses.
