I dress all my Esteemed Elders in White, once I get my sewing hut. I hate to see them die, especially the ones that I get attached to. I would like to see some hobbling on canes and the elders reach at least 80-85. I have gotten them to 78, maybe 79, but not further than that. I have no problem getting my villagers to Master Parent, both female and males. I like all of the above suggestions too. Kids need a school. VV! had a school built, but the kids never went and it didn't have a teacher. This would have to be in the beginning since the only ones that have any education are the original villagers that start the village. Everyone else is born there so they have had no outside contact.
