For Virtual Families I'd like to see more house upgrades available also more of an assortment in the store.

I have $40,000. banked and other than buying the same old store items what do you do with it?

Arthur, if you ever make a VF2 would you PLEASE consider giving us the half-time option for our little families like we have in the villagers games? I'd like to see my families live a bit longer. Thanks again for taking our suggestions into consideration.

Here are my suggestions...

1. Bill paying - give the family the options of paying the Electric, Gas, Cable, Phone, Rent, Car Note, Car Insurance, Music Lessons, Dance Lessons,Eating out or making a meal.. ect ect like a real family. There are only so many upgrades and stuff from the store that we can buy.

2. Grandparents - the people in VF die too young.

3. Checking the Mailbox outside of the gate.

4. Interaction between family members - hugs, kisses, talking, playing ect ect..

5. Neighbors

6. An Option to buy a new home

7. Ability to switch out meals.. they eat the same meals over and over

8. Someone suggested a Virtual City, that would be a good idea... also Virtual Beauty shop and Virtual Barber Shop or Virtual Spa.

9. A secret room inside the house. The players have to find clues that will unlock the door to the secret room.

10. A changing room, where the little people can go at night and switch into sleeping gear.

11. Swing set for the VF kids, then they can upgrade to a play area with swings, slides, merry-go-round, monkey bars..

12. Change of seasons! We get rain occasionally, but Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall would be nice. Snow in the Winter, Lot's of sunshine in the Summer, Rain in the Spring, and Falling Leaves in the Fall(with a tree in the yard).

13. With the changing seasons would be a change in activities..Winter(snowboarding, shoveling snow, ice skating, making snow men, wearing Winter gear). Summer(swimming, going to the beach, mowing the grass, BBQing, wearing Summer Gear)ect ect..

14. Holidays - Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving

15. The ability to purchase new furniture.

That's all I can think of for now..

Oops one more suggestion for a new VF game. Virtual Family Farm!
They can plant, grow, and pick crops, milk the cows, feed the chickens, gather eggs, fleece sheep, ride horses, make repairs to the farm house, buy upgrades(animals, farming equipment, furniture, bigger farm house & land), go swimming in the pond, bail hay. They can also purchase a churn to make butter and cream to sell, or spin wool from the sheep into yarn to make cloth and sell it. A trip to the farmers market would be nice also.

You mean like how Animal Crossing made their city in the one for the Wii?

Something like that would be so neat!

Hmm... I guess I could throw in a few suggestions

1. When you buy an outfit, it goes into the 'closet' in the parents room. If you click on the closet, it shows all the clothes you have. (I don't like having to be like 'oh, I love this, but I like what shes already wearing. PASS')

2. There are different things to cook. You open the fridge and it shows everything you have (like carrots, peas, potatos...) and then you put them in the pot to make your own meals!

3. There should be cars. Maybe bikes, too. Then people could go to the park, buy things..

4. You should be able to pay for 'hair dye' that shows up ocassionally in the store. (But you keep the same hair style you already have.)

5. The descriptions should sy things like how tall they are, and what size shoe they wear.

6. Careers should be based on personality. Like, if they like reading, they should have an office job. If they liked playing in the woodshop, the should have a job in there. If their personality doesn't fit, they are assigned jobs randomly.

7. More things to buy in the shops. Its boring to havce the same old things there all the time- especially for those few who are generations in and who have bought everything there.

That's just a few, I will post a few more later. Thanks for taking time out to make the game not only a better place for others, but also a better place for me

And speaking of clothing, wouldn't it be nice to have a variety to choose from? Say make the "store" larger and have one panel for clothes. Once you're up in the big money, clothes are about the only thing you can buy that will use up some of your cash!

No kidding! Or be able to buy outfits and keep them, like a closet. My problem would be that it would be filled with Lyssaria's dress!

VF allows for five families... yet when you return to the game after being away, it opens to the last family visit. Wouln't it be better to pick the family firt when the game opens? Just my opinion

I agree. However, I've seen similar suggestions made in the forums for all the Virtual Villagers games and Plant Tycoon; they were probably also made for Fish Tycoon but I can't recall seeing them.

I can't remember seeing any reply by LDW giving a reason why this does not happen, but I assume that it's not so simple to carry out as it seems. LDW definitely listen to the opinions of users, so if it were fairly easy to implement I'd have thought that we'd have seen this feature before now.
