I think it would be cool if villagers coud show a status of "injured" and be shown wearing bandages. I also think elderly shouldn't be a seperate status. (Old people can still be healthy in real life.) It would also be cool if there was a little meter on the bottom of the screen showing how many virtual villager years have gone by. And to those of you who want to slow down the suggestions, I think a good, fun game is more important than how soon it comes out. ;\)
