I'm glad I found this thred as I been trying to get my villagers to live past 90 always die around the age of 84 at the most and even tried to have some just on one skill. I will not turn on one of my games for 5 days. I got lots of farmers and females on parenting on then leave it off and I have several doctors.

PS Linda said she has a few villagers that have lived past 90 and now I know why, She did not play it for several days, as she was staying at her sisters

This is day 3 and I am missing my village

I did not play the game for 5 whole days and when I opened it I still had a population of 101 villagers 3 children
Unfortunly it did not work no one lived longer past 90, as when I looked at the Awards, I did not have one.
Is it because I had it running on 1/2 ?

It could be. I've usually had my game on fast speed when I've done it. I have had peeps live to over 100 that way. Of course, they weren't alive when I turned the game back on, but I got the award.

Thank you I will try that then

I left my first "run for the 90yo" running for about 50hrs. Left it with a population of 114 with 6 nursing. Came back to pop-86, no kids, eldest-72, and youngest-32. Had among the many deceased: 93yo-4, 91yo-2, and 90yo-7 including the chief who had ruled for 72 years. One of the kids is featured as my current "ironic villager".

Hooray it worked I got my Acient Award and not only that my lazy villager Toi lived to be 100. Also my population was up to 109 after leaving a male villager in charge of parenting and had at least 20 new kids running around. He was 18 when I lift him in charge and now age 43.

I also got the Ancient elder in my second game in the magic tribe
as I run out of places on the roster of the dead as I already have 500 on the list, therefore I don't know who lived beyand 90. The poulation was 73 and I have 9 or 10 kids running around. My chief had died and may he might have lived past 90. there were a lot to bury. When one of them got chosen who is 10 year old female Lopa, the first thing she did was quickly bury the dead before inspecting the food.

I finally got an Ancient Villager 94 a Builder. I did not just leave it for days like most others did. I did only attend to it for a few minutes a day trying to get my last piece of coral and the game is complete. I make sure the fire is lit and all passed away villagers are burried.

One question: Can I leave some elderly villagers unchecked. so they can do there own stuff?.. or is this not recommended especially to reach the ancient elder?

I let the 2 first games alone during several days while I was playing with an other one and it didn't make any elder of 90 y/o!! So, I decided to let all the tribes alone and to not playing VV3 at all.
To day, after 1 week without playing at all, I went back to my dear little villagers! And I found a lot of them dead but none at 90!! It's not very, very important but I feel frustrated!!
