The clouds of confusion have melted away by downloading version 1.00.02 for windows. My computer was a bit puzzled, it worried that the download might have been incorrect. Ahh, Vista...I have to love it.
Thank you everyone, for a most marvelous, amazing and refreshingly different but familiar model of Isola.

I love the new actions! I just saw one that made me laugh: "Dealing with all the socks".

LOL! Love that one, too! And pass the smelling salt...the wife actually does the dishes after she's done working on her career now. WOW! Progress!

From the Readme file:

Fixes in 1.00.02
- Unleashed several dozen missing behaviors. Get ready to see your family doing some new stuff.
- Tutorial no longer blocks checking of email for office career peeps
- Fixed some breeding bugs

Yay, for the first time ever I am seeing laundry getting done! Maybe i should learn from my peeps, I have tons of laundry to do myself.

And flossing!

Mine flossed before, but they never ever used the hammock which they now LOVE doing. I am also having an easier time with collectibles. Before I could play for more than an hour before seeing one.

And they mend clothes now too, too bad they can't actually change clothes and retain the ones they had.

Have you all seen the "squeezing a pimple" yet? ROFL!

OMG seriously? I am going to look for that one!

Can anyone tell me how to download the updated version?
thx
