I think that would be annoying after a while, like when you're running out of food, and suddenly half the village needs to go to the bathroom.

I've played SIMS CASTAWAY and love the game, but I like the simplicity of Virtual Villagers, too, and wouldn't want it turned into another version of a SIM game with "motive meters" -- hunger, happiness, energy, cleanliness, bathroom, etc.-- that must be kept at a certain level. This game was meant to be a leisurely paced, simple play one and has succeeded very well as such. Its also meant as fantasy and for me at least, as an escape from the demands of an often hectic reality.
I'm not even certain how complicated it can be developed and still be offered as an easy download.
I do think that hunting as an occupation/skill is a good thing and, as an artist, it would be nice to see an artisan category since most primitive cultures had a recognizable artistic style. Maybe the bored builders could take up art, create wall paintings or decorations until there was new construction to be done.
The suggestions that children could learn to perform tasks and then do them without prompting is also an excellent idea.
I honestly love the whole series, though the pace can be a little too leisurely between significant events.

Maybe adults could not go as much, but still go. These days, adults go to the bathroom, but it's not all weird like how you think VV would be.

I hope that the villagers have no body peircing or tattoos. I think it is disgusting and would never get any body peircings or tattoos unless the world depended on it. (no offence)

The villagers really need some tropical fruit in their diet. Tootaloo!

I know your done with developement, but I really want to suggest a full blooming vegetable garden with fruit trees and shrubs around it. I mean instead of seeing just single vegetables, you'd see tons of blooming vegetables in the ground and they'd deplete everytime someone would pick one. And you'd have to water them regularly with the water from the lagoon (if there is one).

I know the game is done, but wanted to suggest loads and loads of stews; kind of like Plant Tycoon, all the variations, makes different things happen. If you make it complex, then the game can continue even beyond the tasks!

Thanks for the enjoyment!
