Mentioned in other topics, the first is a complaint.
Outfits, only having one for the whole game per vf member or waste $250 buying another and then again having just that one.
How about the couple adopting a child the way we chose the first vf member, rather then having them just show up on the door step, you can give random event choice to adopt.
Love the game TYVVM.

While I like the game, I too would like to be involved more in the gameplay (or at least have the option to be as involved as you like: have it like this where you play for 5 minutes then leave them alone for several hours, but also some things you could do so you could play for longer at a time and have more reason to come back more often than every few hours).
Example: they even feed themselves while you're not playing. Would be nice if you had to do at least something like that yourself, and make sure they don't starve. Now all you need to do is make sure their fridge doesn't go empty.
I also realise that the house needs to be improved over the generations in this game (and spread out the gameplay a bit), but when they have plenty of money, it really doesn't make sense to leave gigantic holes in the floor. No real reason to leave these for later generations to fix, and you're only forced to this course of action because you're dependent on the store to carry the right item so you can fix it up. I realise that it's nice if you spread things out a bit, so that you can't do EVERYTHING there is to do in the game on the first day, but I do still like things to make a bit of sense.

I agree it would be nice to have more to do. I also think it would be nice to get something when you have a baby. Like a gift or money!

My complaint is the people don't sleep  Practically every one of my family members is tired or exahuasted. Apart from one, but I gave her an energy drink a few hours ago... So that doesn't count  Even someone I gave this extract-y thing to make them sleep didn't work. They jut never ever sleep and it's getting kinda stupid now... I praise them all the time when they go to sleep, but the only way to make sure they actually sleep, is to have them up on the screen and keep popping them back when they get up, Maye they could have like from 10:00 onwards their priority is sleep... I don't know, but their too tired to do stuff properly and there are never enough energy drinks in the store Oh and one other thing that should make you smile One of my little peoples was in bed, exhausted, and then they suddenly got up to "take a nap" I mean,, seriously? stupid person... lol ^^

What I am really angry about is the floor repair kit. I have been playing for about a week real time and during that time I've time travelled quite a lot - I think I jumped a total of one week extra time? But I was really impatient, I had just got the game!... bad me. Anyway - I've bought the floor repair kit 3 times and have repaired the same hole THREE TIMES because EACH TIME an earthquake destroys it!!! Is this some kind of secret punishment for time travelling, you sneaky game developers?? I'm soooo angry. It's my 6th generation I think, floors STILL have holes in them!!

I don't mind the lack of exciting things to do too much. It keeps me from being a slave to the game and I actually get other stuff done while the game is running. I like not feeling that if I take my eyes off the screen or stop constantly trolling the grounds, I'll miss something crucial. I very much like not having to build and scavenge for food. I've only had the game for 2-3 days, and while at first I felt like time was going too slowly, now I think the pace is pretty good. Have a baby in the morning and by lunch time, it's 2 years old and repairing computers!
However, I would like the store to refresh more often, and I think it's ridiculous that the parents only make a dollar or so for every work cycle. Also, I'd love to have more than 5 options for families. Since many people feel that time moves slowly in the game, it might be more engaging to be able to have 8-10 families going at the same time. In addition, I would like the option to be able to rename the families. When I started with the first family, I just typed in my first name. Since then, I've thought it would be neat to be able to come up with a last name for the families and use that instead of my name.
Finally, I really dislike the looks of the characters. Surely they could be drawn to look more like actual people than the blocky, caricature-like figures which LDW seems to be stuck on. And what is up with never being able to see the backs of their heads? Everyone is always in profile unless they are looking toward the screen.

i wouldnt complain about vv and vf! its the best game ever! but the collectables disappering... its ok. I don't mind the lack of exciting things to do too much.

Agency. but you know what i mean.. i wish vf people could make more money.. (im sorry for my bad typeing... my other arm is broken and i have to type with my other hand..)

Ow nate! Sorry about your arm!
Yes, when you start playing the game you really ask for more money. But in the end, when you have tons of money (like I do now) you wish for other things.
At least when you want money you have - and you know - ways of getting it - it does not depend entirely on the game. In my case, I'm waiting for the perfect match - and this only happens by chance - there's no way of working on that.
It's the same about bugs (check one of the topics about it). I went nuts about a bug that was missing to complete my collection for weeks! And then again, just found it by chance.
This is what really makes it boring to keep playing the game.

I think that what gives a little bit of difficulty to the game is to not earn to much money at a time. If we had lots of money at the beginning of the game, I think it would end real quick. What I miss is more puzzles, something else to do.

I would like to see other levels of "Home Improvements" and "Career Room Upgrades" once the initial ones are achieved. I completed all of mine in just three or four generations. I am on the 14th generation and there is very little for me to do but check in on them once in awhile and give them more food.
I think it would be nice if the house could be upgraded. Right now my peeps are sitting on more than $30 million and are still raising up to 6 children in one bedroom with only one bathroom in the house.
The game needs to evolve more.

More upgrades is a good thing, MoonStar! I totally agree with you!
It would be nice to have upgrades in furniture too (like upgrading couches and beds and have more resting points), and so on...

I have Virtual Families for my IPOD Touch and would love to see 1) the store to refresh more often and 2) more upgrades! Besides just the kitchen, it would be wonderful to be able to get different wallpaper/sheets/ etc for the bedrooms and redecorate them as well. Or maybe even adding on a room! That would be a good idea and store with more clothes too.

I have some complaints.
1. When they are looking for laundry, why can't they stop and pick up the socks. Now that I have all my trophies for socks, weeds, wrappers, and spots. I find it annoying to have to pick up all the wrappers and socks. The weeds are easy to get rid of as long as you have the weed bomb.
2. They won't clean up after a meal, they'd rather go run on treadmill, watch TV or take a nap, some times they do, but other times It's a chore to even to get them to clean anything.
3. I wish we could save clothing we buy. Even though my families can afford to buy a new outfit each time I want to get them a new one, I think it be nice to be able to go into the closet to put an outfit together or take one out you already bought.
Other than those three things, I enjoy the came immensely

Actually, Autumn, there are only five seats. So if you have four kids, someone has to wait, and having four kids is very common. Plus there are only four plates that get set down, so whoever sits closest to the window has to mooch off of the person next to them, I guess. LOL!

I agree with you Twilight_addict, I would be nice to have different colored people and nationalities in the game. Lewanda one of our lovely mod makers had created a mod with dark skinned peeps on it. You can find it Here If you don't know how to install a mod just follow the instructions Here

Yes, that's true Twilight! It would be great if we could have all skin colours, including indians, asians, native americans, and the list just goes on and on. Lewanda created a mod that is really great: Dark skinned peeps. I think we were writing at the same time, Robyn Kay! *lol*

for my iPhone I am pretty sure I can't do it. It's not possible. The iPhone's security doesn't allow changes to be made to any app's folder, so mods are out of the question.

Yayyyyyyyy, I'm glad you're working on it again Lewanda! I remember you mentioning about wanting to work on different hairstyles and brightening up the clothes. What a HUGE undertaking! Thank you so much, can't wait to use it!
