I have been playing for about 120 hours, then my Treo rebooted. Everything was set back to the very early stages of the game. I always use it with the power adapter. Very discouraging to say the least...especially if I might build it all up just to crash again. Any help?? Suggestions??

There have been reports about Treos rebooting themselves, and it may have more to do with other things going on in the device than it does with Village Sim. Since the game is only saved when you exit, the safest thing to do is to periodically exit Village Sim and then launch it again. That way you don't lose your progress in the game just because you experienced a reboot, and it doesn't take much time to do it. I typically leave my games running on AC power, too, and it's easy to get engrossed in the game and forget to save it.

Thank you so much, Barbara! When I exit Village Sim, do I put it on "pause" and also exit to a different area of the Treo such as another game or book that I'm reading?

The funny thing is that I still do have my two old men in black who are master scientists plus two of my women. The blonde woman was very old and caring for her baby...very low weakness level. I now have her back as a young sprite. I was, however, wondering if she would be able to care for the baby she had in her weakened state, or would she and the baby perish. Perhaps that will now be my puzzle 13.

I will just exit out of the game and go into another program. This will save your game to a savegame file.
As for the weakened mother, you take a chance when you make a weakened villager nurse. If the mom dies, the baby dies. It's sad, but I guess that's life on Isola!

Thank you both! I will now become the "Exit Queen.
