Virtual Families

I'm a member of the ldw forums.

If you want to know exactly where to find the ball, let me know. PM is fine, or public post if that's okay.

I Want To Know Exactly Where To Find It!!!!!
Please help!

As a hint, all I'll say is that when they say upper left corner, they MEAN upper left. We're talking with hands here, people...

Found the red ball REALLY upper left hand corner. Thanx everyone!!

where on the upper left corner, like on the house pic or outside on the shed

my person got married to someone i think is kinda ugly and know my child looks mental. how do i kill them both

Upper left like above the boxes for praise and scolding. Also, I don't think u can kill them. But if u really want to experiment,
try leaving the game on, let the food run out and see?? LOL
Or you could just add another player and start another family completely!!

my girl is a film processor, i dont know where to put her to work on her career. any hints??

Glad to help.

Try throwing the red ball in the house. It's so funny watching it bounce of walls and stuff. LOL

Hugndkiss, did you try the workshop?

LOL! If you're on your first generation, you could just try starting over. There's an option in the menu.

There sure are some dead ugly people in the game, that's for sure. lol

i think u would put the person in the computer area

do i click it there or somethin and is the screen suppost to be on the house teh shed the working place or wat

also wat do i do if my ppl are extemely weak

Yummy222 your screen has to be as far to the top and left as it will go, then click around the hands.

If your people are weak, try feeding them. To get someone to prepare a meal just drop them on the table. Check you have lots of food in the fridge too. They also might have been sick, so check their details to see what they need.

Also, if they're exhausted you need to drop them on the bed so they get some sleep. Hope that helps.

I haven't played through the whole game, but, my sink stopped after I got married, I think.

hi can any one help me how do you get little ones to master career is it the kids or is it the parents plz

Rosyie, only the adults can master a career. Kids can only study and play and stuff. But when they turn 14 they can do adult jobs like the dishes, putting groceries away, preparing a meal and so on. Just household stuff, not actual careers.

Hey I have a question. My person says she is not feeling fresh and I have tried to put her in the shower. I just started a new generation so she is the only person in the house right now. Every time I put her in the shower it keeps saying someone is in the shower. What do I do? Is there someone in the shower or is my person nuts? How do I fix this?

Wow I had that happen to me a few times all I had to do was shut the game down and re-enter the game and I was able to use the shower. Maybe the house has a ghost. lol.

That's never happened to me so far.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if the house had a ghost. lol.

This is a great game because it will make you wonder when you grow up, What kind of family you will be comfortable with...

These are two really stupid questions that I really should know.
#1. What do you do when someone is weak?
#2. What do you do when someone is feeling drepressed?
Like I said, they're realling stupid questions.

Stars151, when they are weak, you need to feed them, and when they are depressed, you need to use the green glove to pat them. It takes a while to make them happy again. Just get them to do jobs and then stroke them for it.

Sometimes a piece of candy is even better for their mood then the glove or fruit.

In addition to what has been said, buying home improvement and cleaning up the house and yard also make them happier. And exercizing, treadmill and work outs also tend to make them healthier. It is a slow process but all you have to do is put them in the up trend and gradually their mood and health will improve on its own.

If your peeps are still weak after getting food then it is time to invest in a "visit to the doctor" the stethescope. The weakness can be a symptom of a serious illness.

u go to the work shop thr room behind the house and drop uor charater on the the capourd i hope i helped

to get the red ball (easter egg) you could also click: the stairs that are between the bathroom and the parents bedroom. if you click were the bottom of the stairs and the top of the wall of the bedroom meet you can get another ball. i already got 2 from there!

To fix the leaky hose you havae to wait until the tape shows up in the store. Once you have it drop it beside the leaky hose. Drop someone in the shower and then drop an adult on the tape.

To open the shed drop an adult on the door knob in the sand box once the knob is on drop someone on the front door mat and they will unlo9ck it.

For an oven fire or a lint fire in the dryer drop an adult in the smoke and wait until they wave at you then keep dropping them in front of the shed until they say they are going to put the fire out (if in that process they say they are going to water the flowers let them and find another adult to deal with the fire).

I know the solution to the fountain but I haven't been able to get it to work. I was told to buy the pump from the store and have 2 adults (it's heavy) install it.

The only way to get money is to encourage your parent peeps to work at their jobs.

wat i want to know is that if the fish bowl says magic fish and u buy them wat is magic about them because i bought them and they didnt do anything 4 me

yummy222- the red ball will be whereever you place it once you have found it. for instance when I found it in my first game I placed it in the bedroom and when I open my other four games it is always in the bedroom where I leave it. Even if it is invisible once you find it it will be where you left it. I hope that explanation wasn't too confusing. And as far as the fish, they do not do anything special.

sholahoka- place the pump on the fountain and then drop two people on it. It may take a few tries the first time but it will eventually work.

And it has been said in this thread that you have to fix the leaky hose before the birdbath, that just isn't true. I was able to fix it for 3 of my families before fixing the hose. It's the work shop wall that has to wait until the hose is fixed.

i understand thank you. for those of you who dont understand its this: if you hav more than one game playing and u can place a red ball somewhere on the ground and than go to ur second or third game and click in the spot that you had it in for ur first and u will find it.

I'm starting a whole new game, but there's one thing that I can't remember. If you have a kid(not a baby) and you want another kid, what age does the first kid have to be in order to have a nother baby?

I think the first child must be at least 3 years old before you can try for another baby.

How do i get my people to sleep. It says they are tired but they keep getting up after a few minutes and it dont look like thier sleep meter is getting any higher. ty

Angilssin, if they're tired, they tend to nap in the lounge room. When they get exhausted, drop them on the bed and they'll go to sleep.

Towards the end of the day, they tend to get more tired, and stay tired. At night, they will be exhausted all the time. It's a factor of what time of day it is.

You can change your day to night and vice versa in options. The game is in your time zone (roughly). I have two games that are in my time frame - daylight for me is daylight for them - and I have two games where I've made it the opposite, so that I have two families to play with when I'm up most of the night.

I hope that helps.

I'm sorry to be responding to this DAYS later, yummy222, but if you have any Virtual Villager games, they had spinoffs of Fish Tycoon
and Plant Tycoon. The fish come from the island of Isola, (where the VVillagers live), and the eggs of the fish are raised in
fish tycoon. They are called the Magic Fish of Isola. Check out the Last Day of Work site. Virtual Families are part of there story
creations. If you bought the paintings on the walls, you will see fish pictures. They are the Magic fish. But unfortunately, the
fish in the tank don't do anything but swim. Virtual Villagers 4 should be out sometime this year. Try out the first few games,
They're fun, just like the Virtual Families game!!

How do I fix the broken bird bath? I know how to fix the hose but not the bird bath.

Stars151, first you have to buy the green fixeruppery thing from the store. You drop that on the bird bath. Then you grab an adult or anyone over 14, and drop them on the bird bath. They will say it's too heavy. So you grab another adult and drop them on the bird bath.

Basically, you need two people to fix it. You can do it quicker with three or more. But if you add a third, they'll say it's too heavy so just pick up one already working on it and drop them on it again if you don't have any other available biggers.

Good luck.
