I like VV2 best. The game is longer, and there's much more to do.
But I do have problems with my people not wanting to change careers after they've mastered one. Sometimes it takes me hours of putting a person over to the new career before they'll become a trainee.
Then too, right now I have only two children, the third one will be up and running around in 3 minutes. When I find a collectable, it's hard to find a child in time to get the collectable, I've lost a lot of them because I can't find the child fast enough.
It took two of my days, for my farmer trainee to become a master farmer. She had all the fish, all the coconuts and was working on planting and harvesting and fighting the birds when she finally became a master farmer.
