Okay, I've got tons of ideas! Though most of them are ones already posted, but I'm going to add them to my list. So don't give me all the credit!

1. Make it so they can have a latrine with a cover around it and showers so they can become clean.
2. Real families. Like, two parents can only have children together and not with other adults.
3. Let the villagers sleep! They must get so tired. Actually let them use the huts. Only three people per hut or something like that.
4. You can pick the child's gender, but you can't pick if they have multiples. The computer decides that.
5. Let the kids start working on tasks earlier and not 14. I am younger than 14 and I still help out with stuff like cooking. So let them help with farming and researching, but not building, because that is too tough for younger kids.
6. More skill points for the mums when they're breeding. The dads get all the points. Give the mums a certain amount of points for each child.
7. The older kids can swim, like, ages 8 and up. I could swim when I was 8!
8. They can have playpens for the kids ages 3 and under and the babies after year 1 of nursing so the mums can work.
9. Kids ages 12 and up can help babysit the kids in the playpens.
They can earn points for a certain amount of time babysitting or something, to help the tribe.
10. They have elementary and middle schools. Kids ages 5-11 would go to the elementary and kids 12-14 go to the middle. We don't need the kids running amuck the whole time!
11. They can have teachers as a new job. They can teach the kids and help prepare them for when they're old enough to work. The teachers can become adept and masters. They can get points for teaching the kids.
12. Dads can help take care of the kids. After all, in real life, the mums don't just raise the kids. The dads can help bathe, change the diapers, and even just love on their kids.
13. They could have a section for cooking, which can also be a new job. Chefs and cooks could make stews and meals as their job. They could become adept Chef and master Chef.
14. Another job could be an author. Their could be a writing section, with, like, tables and ink made from berries with chairs where they wrote stories. Something fun for you could be you could help them write the story. Like, choose if its a poem, a book, a song, or whatever.
15. More food resources. I mean, come on. You wouldn't just find berries, coconuts, vegetation, and fish on an island. What about other animals besides fish?
16. Nursing mums can have quadruplets and stay in the hospital into the quadruplets are born. And the twins, triplets, and quadruplets are all identical so you can tell they're related. And the twins, triplets, and quadruplets can be boys and girls multiples in the same pair.
17. When looking at their health, skills, etcetra, you can see the siblings they have so you can see the actual families.
18. Parents keep track of their kids. They don't just run around. Like, the parents could chase kids, punish kids for wrongdoing, play with the kids, or teach them.
19. Kids have a nap station so they can rest, kids 6 and under, and the kids 12 and up can babysit.
20. Have tables for eating, five chairs per table, and actual mealtimes. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and maybe even "tea" time (snack time).
21. Some sort of time management. A clock, maybe, unless that'd be too hard. And seasons. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Snow, rain, and wind would be nice! And daytime and nightime. In real life it wouldn't be all day.
22. Hunt for animals already on the island in the forest (if there was one). Hunters could be another job, like farmers, but harder. They could forge spears and head off into the forest.
23. Another job could be axsman. They could chop wood from the trees for the buildings.
24. Different types of buildings they could build. You'd choose what building they'd build and where it would go. Like, a storage hut, a sleeping hut, a fishing dock, etc.
25. Some sort of well for water.
26. Storage houses for extra food/wood.
27. Another job: clothing designers. They would sew the clothes at a station and the finished pieces would go in the clothing hut. You'd use tech points for them.
28. In winter they could buy mittens/coats/wool pants/hats/scarves from the clothing designers.
29. In summer could get short-sleeved shirts/sandals/shorts.
30. Doctors could have larger hospitals with sections for specific diseases (flu, measels, chicken poz).
31. Way larger burial site.
32. Ceremonies for deaths and celebrations for births. Different types of celebrations according to the gender of the baby that you chose.
33. You can change how they wear their hair. Braids, pigtails, ponytail, down, bun, side ponytail, etc.
34. Storm shelters (once every season have a different type of storm. hurricane, tornado, earthquake, etc. that'd be cool!)
35. Every season is 15 mins. Still an hour per year.
36. Kids show different characteristics (girls could be tomboys/girly, disobedient/obedient. boys could be nerdy/jock, polite/impolite) showing what their jobs will be when they grow up.
37. All of them show emotions. Their angry at him, they're not angry at her, vice versa.
38. A LOT MORE PUZZLES! It's just no fun after you've completed all the puzzles.
39. Interaction between villages. Have them, like, exchange knowledge, or share something they've found with someone else. Kids could hug or kiss their parents, vice versa, etc. Have them encourage and compliment one another.
40. You could choose from a list things villages could say to one another and the computer (the other person) could answer. Like, you would ask "how're you doing?" and the computer would say "well, I'm doing great. how're you?" etc.
41. After a certain time period you could have a master explorer (another job where somewhere explores the island. if they discovered, say, a mushroom, or a collection, the explorers' points would go up) discover a whole new section of the island, unlocking more puzzles and stradegies. That'd really make the game tons more interesting.
42. Marriages so 2 people could only have children together and not everyone with everyone. The families could be listed somewhere, like, on the side of the page. You could scroll down and see "Emma and Bradley's children: Hannah, Paul, Marcus, Jason, and Elizabeth" with their pics beside it or something.
43. An arts & crafts center. Craftsmen/women could be a job. They make pottery, paintings, etc.
44. Something else for kids to do. Like talking amongst themselves, or climbing trees, or the older ones (8 and up) swimming. The older girls could braid each others' hair or help take care of the little ones and the boys could make their own balls (the tomboys would play with them) and play football, basketball, or baseball. You could have a game on their where you could play the games with the kids.

I hope these were good suggestions!
