The subject title should be pretty self explainatory laugh Again, I was hoping to get all concerns in one place so they aren't scattered throughout other threads. I think it will make it easier to read them all and will prevent the disheartening feeling of reading various threads only to find complaints.

Have a go! smile

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.

I loved the virtual villagers games, but there is nothing to do in this game, it is like playing virtual villagers without the building, finding food etc.

I come home from work and after 5 minutes there is nothing left to do, they have not achieved anthing during the day, except career levels have gone up. I have grown up kids who have left home to go to college. do they come back and if they do is there anything you can do with them besides have kids as that takes 30 seconds.

I love that they play, watch tv, sit down, take out the garbage etc.

they are great to watch, but I like to be involved.

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!

Same complaint I have about all VV games - there is absolutely NO REASON a mother of a baby shouldn't be able to work! Especially since they work out of the home.

Not for the "two years" that this game has. And that's just in industrial societies like America. In other countries unless the woman is super weak she has to get up and go back to work the very next day.

My complaint is the people don't sleep frown 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 smile 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 frown

Oh and one other thing that should make you smile smile
One of my little peoples was in bed, exhausted, and then they suddenly got up to "take a nap" I mean,, seriously? smile stupid person... lol ^^

When my people are exhausted...here's what I do..I just exit the program, I don't pause the game. Then I leave it alone for a MINIMUM of 6-8 hours. (i.e. I don't open it again to check what they are doing...I just leave it closed.) I always make sure that I leave plenty of food for them first. My people are always elated when I open the game (usually the next morning) and aren't exhausted until really late at night (real time)
