I love platonica's farm idea, especially if they can interact with the animals.

Well What about if there is like 5 houses and each generation you make repairs on your current house the house is perfect and then you buy another one and so on ...........

Here are my ideas:

1: There should be fraternal twins and triplets(different genders/different looks). I have a friend(of whom I'm really close to) that is a fraternal twin.

2: There should be a school. If not a school, than maybe a tutor; at the least report cards. I mean, what's all the studying for, anyways?

3: The kids should come back after college. Well, at least some should. And the parent that didn't die(if there is one) shouldn't be forcefully kicked out. And I think some of the peeps should get e-mails from their family.

4: Whoever said anything about sleepovers, I agree. Wouldn't it be cool if you could interact with another family? And I also agree with the snow idea, a.k.a., seasons. It would be fun.

5: Not telling you this was my idea, but my little bro. said he wanted to see actual pregnancy . I don't care too much for that idea, but I can't speak for the rest of you.

6: If only you could make new rare ones and move the current ones down a bit(hint, hint).

7: Make enough food for everyone at the table next time, please! It frightens me to see someone eating abseloutely nothing.

8: I think there should be an actions like "fighting" or "breaking up a fight" or "taking sides". It would be funny to watch the boys crowd behind dad and girls behind mom.

I have a few suggestions;

1. Have items they interact with. Like a phone, or a garden.

2. Add the stock market or a sie business for more money.

3. Be able to take a test for the 18 yr olds, then pick a college they got o according to the test "he 18 yr old" takes. This would mean YOU as the player of the game will take the test for the 18 yr old. Depending on the score, the 18 yr old, or YOU get to pick the college they attend.

4. BE able to influence how the kids grow up. MEaning, if they are on the PC alot, or outside..so on...then that will infulence what they like or their jobs.

5. I love the idea of saving up to buy a house. Have different types of houses, with different layouts.

6. Offer more items like clothing, and house items.
Maybe a new fridge, or oven..or even more house upgrades like more rooms or a bigger kitchen.

7. If you add the buisness, have an option of off site, or at home. If at home they can either pay for the site or pay for more room in the house.

8. More jobs.

9. Be able to pick a job for your person.

10. Be able to design your own patterns for things. Maybe be able to move furniture around.

PLEASE becarefull though! Some of these tread with the border of that OTHER game like this...

WOW.

I've been thinking that for a while, too!

I agree, but how about having to reach certain goals too unlock hair colors and styles. For example:
Cocoa is in gen 1. Cocoa has blonde hair and the Guiding Hand wants her to have blue hair. But first the family had to reach 6 children. They have 5 and it is time to try for another.
If that wrked you would unlock blue hair dye in the shop. Same with hair styles.

I would also like the tag game here, even though I don't play VV2.

Maybe connecting online would be resricted to player names you know.

I would like more interaction with the peeps and pets. Say clubs could come to the garden and the peeps could be members. Or the pet could get an illness and the owner would take it to the vet.

Maybe the kids could go to school, because why on earth do they do homework.
And yes I would like to chat to our peeps if possible.

Now all of these are only suggestions, but I would like them in the game.
See you!

I'd like to see each slot have its own images folder. That way the look of the house and surrounds could be different for each family. User-created mods could also be applied to just one game or more as the player desires.

what a good idea, Arnie!!
I'd like it in the VV games too!

Arnie, this is one of the best suggestions I've seen yet. And laurence I'd like that too.

Would be cool for Plant tycoon too. I run a few different games for PT and having a couple of the different nurseries would be nice.
