Nothing will happen when the game is paused. It sometimes does take persistence to produce babies (sometimes dozens of tries), but I wanted to be absolutely sure that there was no message that would explain the problem first (since I can't actually see your game).

I believe bethlham is thinking of the multiple collection trick with the pause. For 'speed-kissing' you don't pause. It's just that you don't have to let them get all the way to the hut.

She's probably thinking of VV3, where villagers can kiss when the game is paused (unlike previous VV games).

Oops! My bad! You are right, I was thinking VV3 and paused speed-kissing...that's what I get for using the active topics search and not checking which section is being used.

I am glad you got some babies though! I guess regardless of which game you are playing...persistance helps!
