Can they ever be too old to have kids???

They are not links. To highlight the post all you do is left-click and drag your mouse over the post. The same as if you're gonna cut or copy the text. If you still have trouble then you can PM me and I will give the answers there.

Yes, they can be too old to have kids, I believe that it is after 50, but I'm not exactly sure as I have had 6 kids in my three families before age 35.

I'm not sure of the age limit as I have had 4 people die at different ages. My first woman died at age 77 and her husband died at age 75(the same day as he disliked solitude), their daughter died at age 82 and her husband lived to age 89. I'm now on my third generation. After they die, you get to decide which of their children inherit the house. You can keep the game going for generations.

BTW, you can pick your people up as soon as they sit down to sell a collectable and the money will be deposited to your account, that way you don't have to wait for them to finish before sending them off to do something else.

I LOVE THAT GAME

How cool!!! My 14 year old is doing homework. When do they start to earn money?? Or do they?? Anyway to get things in the store faster?? It seems you only get new things every 24 hours. That will take forever!!!

My family never sleep, i will put them to bed before i go off and ill come back on and there all still tired. I tryed putting them to bed and leaving the game running it makes no diffrance. I have tryed feeding them and always have loads of food in the fridge

Xvampiress- Try putting them all to bed then pausing the game and leaving it for a while. I can't make any promises, but it might help.

tcfarms- I think they start earning money after they go to college at age 18. I have two in college and they'll probably graduate at about 22, is my guess. Then I think they come home and work on their career.

I agree, they become happy or elated after you pause the game for the night. I usually shut mine down around 10 pm. Then up again at 8 am. They get tired during the day, but never exhausted.

When they go away to college, they do not come back home unless you let them inherit it when the parents die. The store refreshes every 12 hours.

this may sound like a really silly question! but my people will not pick up the key at the front door mat! they are constantly 'confused'. Can anyone help me with this very simple thing

Did you already put the door knob in the shed?? If not, you may need to do that first.

Yes, you need to pick up the door knob first, otherwise they will not pick up the key.

I tryed pausing my game over night after sending them to bed
but when i went back on, they were all up, the game was still paused and they were all still exaused

My family is either depressed or weak. What can I do to make them happy?

Giving them treats makes them happy. Make sure you aren't giving too much to do (dragging them all over the map). That will interrupt their sleep and nap times. Maybe try putting in the towel warmer in the bathroom. Having a baby made my folks go from happy to elated.

I found that you have to fix the hose with the tape before you can use the other hose for repairing the workshop walls.

Give them plenty of praise, fruits, candies, have them watch a DVD togrther. If your children are a bit blue or depressed then place the parents on them and they will tell a story or tickle them you could also read them a book.

Xvampiress= Have you tried praising them for going to bed? This will get them into the habit of going to sleep on their own when they are tired. Do you have the hammock yet? If you have the hammock you can place them in it. If they are still exhausted, send them to bed 3 or 4 times and let them sleep each time until they get up on their own. I know it's time consuming, but it may help. You could also try the energy drink, which will give them a small boost of energy, so they won't be exhausted.

the key is under the welcome mat

does anyone know how to stop the bathroom sink from leaking?

Drop someone 14 or older on the wrench in the red toolbox in the workshop.

But when I drop the adults on these things, they don't do anything with them. Any hints on how to fix leaky hose and broken fountain?

yea me to its too hard to fix it.my family is great we have 2,000 dollars and 6 kids just kidding i have less than 100 dollars and there hungry and week and they have a child

You can bring them to the kitchen and they will "look for snacks". Hopefully in your store, the item that is for sale is one on the top row. Other wise grains and dairy are the cheapest. As long as you keep your people working and finding items you will continue to build up your bank. Good luck!!!

I found that you can fix the hose after fixing the kichen sink or the bathroom sink. Yeah!!!! I have 5 families going. Each one with different jobs and number of children. I have one family who are emply nesters now. How cool.

Since it seems that alot of people are confused about the game and how stuff works i am goin to tell you all about it.
There is no age limit that you cant have kids.
The store refreshes every 12 hours
You have to use some type of water and then place somebody on the leaky hose to fix it.....it has to have the tape
You can only fix the fountain after the hose is fixed....it takes two people and a pump
Only people 14 and older can work and put up groceries
Anybody can read email, clean, and find collections
If you have a collection, weed, wrapper, or sock you can not pick that person up or they will drop it
While you ae throwin the trash and you pick that person up they willl lose it but there will be no trash
Only praise the stuff you want them to do regularly.....other than the ones that you can get trophies for
You can have another child at the age of 2.....it will say too soon at first but keep tryin then leave that family for a little while then try again....it should work
If that does not work for you then 4 is the age that you can have another child
Teenagers leave the house at the age of 19
The baby boost will only work on the female and if you use it twice on one person it will act like you never used it at all
To cure hiccups i give them some peptic syrup, antitussive syrup, and a glass of water(a drink from the sink)
You do not have to waste your money on a doctor consulation.....if you keep dragging you person around the dropping them they will eventually say what hurts
Once in college you child can never come back unless they are givin the house by you
Once one parent dies then you can start a new generation with one of their kids
The parents usually die around 65-75 years old

To cure hiccups u only give them water, u r wasting money buying all that other stuff and sometimes(though it is rare) u will have to pay for a doctor's consultation as u need a doctors order to buy the medicine. My first generation's husband kept getting sick, I would heal him and he would still get weaker and sick again. He had a grave illness, I had to buy the shot and some other type of medication. I can't remember, I'm on my fourth generation now.

All the malfuntions in the house will eventually go away on their own and the key is under the welcome mat as for watering the plants, yes you can do it any time, but you have to have the shed open and the leaky hose fixed first.

how do you fix the leaky hose

For both the leaky hose and the broken fountain, you have to buy something from the store, the same as with the holes in the floor and the damaged walls on the workshop.
I'm gonna give you the directions to fix those 2 items.

Leaky Hose
Hint # 1: Buy the duct tape from the store

Hint # 2: Place the duct tape next to the leaky hose

Hint # 3: Place 1 person in the shower or get them to turn on the sink, then place someone on the leaky hose to fix it.

Broken Fountain
Hint # 1: Buy the pump from the store

Hint # 2: Place the pump next to the fountain

Hint # 3: Place 2 people on the pump to fix

Broken Floor
Hint # 1: Buy the Floor Repair Kit from the store(you will have to buy one for each hole)

Hint # 2: Place the floor repair kit next to the hole you would like to fix

Hint # 3: Place 1 person on the hole to get them to fix it

Hint # 4: You will have to keep placing them on it until it is done

Workshop Wall
Hint # 1: Buy the Wall Repair Compound from the store

Hint # 2: Place the wall repair compound by the green bucket next to the sand box

Hint # 3: If you haven't already done so, then fix the leaky hose(see earlier post)

Hint # 4: Place someone over the bucket and as with the floor repair, you will have to do this until the job is finished

Hint # 5: Note: The compound dries quickly, so use as many people as you can(14 or older) to repair the wall, otherwise you will have to buy more.

Yes I loved it

But I don't own it so the trial ran out

Mmizzell,
You've become so accomplished at this game, you should write the game guide and walk-through, then sell it to iWin.

I actually already have one started, I just have to add some finishing touches and some screenshots, but I probaby won't sell it to Iwin, I'll just give it to them. Hopefully I can figure out a way to send it to them, otherwise I'll have to add it to the forums.

Unfortunately, it's just luck of the draw. Sorry. Same as triplets.

I created a game guide for IWIN and its members,sans screenshots, so hopefully we can get it to y'all soon. I think it's too long for the forums, but I may be able to shorten it if it comes to that.

You're such a good egg Mmizzell! That would be a very commendable gesture. Hmmm....maybe they could toss some Opals your way for it.

how do i purchase virtual families

While on the website or in the game manager, left click on the game title from either the right hand panel with the top 15 games or from the game icons in the middle of the page. The game description page opens. On the right hand side of the window, directly below the orange rectangle which says, Download....., is a blue rectangular box with white text which says, Buy Now for 1000 iCoins. Left click on the blue rectangle. The purchase portal page will open to execute the transaction. ~MaryBeth

I'm so sad. My mom and dad died today. Now I only have a 12 year old at home. I think I will keep him at home until he goes off to college. Then I will allow one of the syblings to inherit the house.

okay.....im confused....

......

According to LDW the makers of the game and personal experience, baby boost has a greater chance of working and having multiples if you repeatedly give it to your woman. But at $500 a pop it's a little out of price range unless you really need a kid, I suggest waiting until your second or third generation to buy and use more than one.

It will turn off on its own as long as you leave it alone and not click on it.

LOL, I sometimes want that to happen also, but you want to make sure that you don't have any kids it the house first as you don't want them to die also. You would have to stop feeding them and if they get sick don't heal them. One thing you can try in order to get them sick is the imported candy as it sometimes gives them a stomach ache.
