Do you ever restart to get topics you want?

When I started my second playthrough I restarted multiple times because I wasn’t satisfied with the starting topics. Anyone else do the same?

I just use AdvanceStart mod.
Unlocks all topics at start.

The random topic generation is something I would have liked to be optional.

I like the random start cause it makes me think and try new things other than just fantasy/rpg or military/simulation every play through.
