how do i get to the next level?

You mean the next generation? You have to wait for one of your peeps to die, then you choose New Generation.

That would be another good feature for the next version - being able to start the next gen before someone dies. Maybe put Grampa & Gramma in a mother-in-law house in back.

Is it me, or does it rain a lot in this game??? Like 2-3 times a day! That may not be a lot if you live in Seattle, but I'm in California - the only time it rains that much is in the wintertime.

How in the world do you chase a gopher??? and what are the "9 behaviors"?

My son is depressed and keeps going and hiding in the garden, and the action box say he is 'Jealous of new baby' but I don't even have a new baby. Seeing as i have the lite version on my ipod, i can only have on child per generation. I have tried letting him play vidoe games e.t.c and I have tried getting his parents to interact with him bu it makes no difference. He is also weak.

Plz help!

I have the full PC version, so I don't know what may or may not be implemented on ipod.

Can you buy snacks at the store? E.g., candy, bananas, mangos, blood oranges. Try feeding him a few of those. And pat him often with the praise hand. Don't whack him with the scold hand unless absolutely necessary. Weakness generally goes away after awhile, as long as they are well-fed and rested.

The gophers I haven't figured out. Somebody on another website said they let the kids play in the yard where the gophers are and they chase them, but so far it hasn't worked for me.

The nine behaviors are the 9 just above that award: "Boob Tube" to "Fire Stopper". I've heard the "Lotta Latte" can only be done after you upgrade your kitchen to level 3. I dunno how I'm gonna get "Sleeping Dragon", cos none of my peeps does kung fu.

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

I also had a problem with the leaky hose, I tried to close the water pressure but nothing, and then after a couple of hours, there was a cloged in my shower and that solved my pressure problem and fixed the hose! now I have a cloged problem how to fix it????

You can fix the clog by dropping your peep on the bucket in the laundry room. it has a plunger in it that they grab. this is also used for the clogged toilet.

I've tried to highlight the fith post on page 2, many times, but I can not find the third clue. Any clues Mmizzle?

None of Mmizzell's hints are hidden. When people could not figure out how to highlight text, Mmizzell gave all the text color. So everything she spoke about on that page is visible and the instructions are complete. •••MaryBeth ¤¤ Volunteer Forum Moderator

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.

That is quite weird cos my sister was playing the game and her daughters hubby died at the age of 45?? Why did that happen?

I've had this game for awhile and one of my families got all the trophies. The bugs are the hardest of the collections to get. If you want your peeps to make a lot of money, the best thing to do is to train them to work. Also, how much they make depends on their occupation. Some of them start at $15 a day, but by the time they master their career they make the most money. It's good to have them in a second or third generation rather than a first. If your peeps need money fast, have them gather collectibles. If you have it already in your collection, you'll sell it and get money. The rare ones sell for $50. The common ones sell for $5, but I forget what the other ones sell for. It's been awhile since I've palyed it.

I have something weird happening. I have 3 families... I ended up losing the game on my first family and started over, so I'm not sure what generation I'm on. The problem is with the 2nd and 3rd families. This JUST started. I lost the game on my 3rd family (which was on the 30th generation) because I turned down 3 marriage proposals and never got anymore, so she didn't have kids and the game ended. The weird thing about that one was that in the details, it showed her having 4 kids, but she had none. Now, my 2nd family just started a new generation... It's around the 30th... he inherited the house at 23. Now he's 30 and STILL hasn't gotten a marriage proposal! In all the other families, the marriage proposals started coming within about 5-10 minutes after the person inherited the house. I'm wondering if there is some sort of "glitch" in the game around the 30th generation? Anyone else having this problem??
Thanks!

Hey, anyone else wondering just how old those pets can get? Even after 30 generations, they never die...a little scary...lol

ROFL!

Yeah, it irks me that pets in most games are treated like inanimate objects. I think they should be treated like NPCs. Real pet lovers will tell you their pets are just like their kids - only with 4 legs and fur.

I took my mom's cat to the vet one time; I asked the vet, "If my mom is the cat's mommy, does that mean he's my brother?"
She was dead serious when she answered, "He IS your brother!"

I have one feline daugher, 4 feline nieces, a canine niece, and a canine nephew. Oh, and my brother has two canine stepdaughters.

i was just wondering when cobwebs appear I've never seen one?

umm how do you open the shed door????

You need to go to the shed and get the fireextinguisher and they will automatically put the oven fire out...no water or repair involved...now Danay, why would you send promqueen off on a wild goose chase like that?

I loved this games but it was kinda confusing!

A child has to be over 3 years old before you can try for another.

Not always. I am several generations into one of my games and the couple had a second child when the other child was only 2 years old. You just have to keep placing one member of the couple on the other to get them to make another baby. I have used the scolding glove when they shook their head to say no to making another baby. Scold them and place them together again. I had to do it 3 or 4 times but after that they made another baby with no problem.

To get the gophers you let the kids play on the lawn. When you see a gopher praise the kid.

Actually you have to allow the kid to dig a hole to China by placing him or her on the lawn near the bird bath. This may take several tries. Once they dig the hole watch for the gophers to come up. The kid may hide near the sandbox to watch for the gophers. Once a gopher comes up the kid will approach the hole and you need to praise the kid when they kiss the gopher. You will hear a kissing sound and then use the praise glove.

Well i have the game V.Families for my ipod touch but if you exit the game and go back you are most likely to find that the lint isnt burning anymore but you also have to get a tool kit and then that will be automatically placed in the worksop (the room outside the house) then you pick yourself up and drag yourself in the shed and make sure you drop them on the table with the flashlight on it.Then they will fix it.Hope I helped!!!!

Actually, if the dryer lint is burning, put one of your people in the laundry room to notice the dryer lint is burning, then take the person to the shed and drop them on the fire extinguisher. The person will get the fire extinguisher and go to the laundry room to put the fire out. The only time I have gone to the workshop for tools to repair something is when the sink in either the bathroom or the kitchen is leaking. I am playing the PC version so I don't know if the game is different for the ipod touch so I hope this helps and doesn't cause any further confusion.

How do u find pic pieces????

I've been playing this game awhile and have a couple families going at a time. However, none of my people seem to live beyond 65. I buy organic groceries, I have the treadmill so I have them exercise, I praise them with healthy snacks, I give them vitamins and use the antibacterial gel. Any suggestions on how to get them to live longer? Anything I should be doing that I am not? Could I be picking the wrong spouse? Any thoughts or suggestions welcomed.

Here a new one for me. I had a single parent adoption today. My husband and wife passed away so I selected one of the sons to inherit the house. He arrived at the house and was looking around when the doorbell rang and there was an orphan on his front porch looking to be adopted. So I adopted her, just in case he couldn't find Ms. Perfect--at least he would have someone to inherit the house. Has anyone else had this happen to them before?

virtual families is fun

If I remember correctly, the cobwebs are in the bathroom. Take a person and drop them in the narrow space in the bathroom between the sinks and the wall and you should get a message that says cleaning cobwebs and then you will earn that trophy. You don't actually see the cobweb so don't worry if there isn't one there when you drop the person.

Hope this helps.

VROC4, when there is an oven fire, drop one of your people on the shed and he/she will pick up a fire extinguisher and put out the fire. This is the same thing you need to do when the dryer catches fire. Hope this helps.

I fixed the hose and all you do is buy waterproof tape at store and then drop the tape on the hose and get one of ur "Family Members" to fix it it may take some time but it will work!
