Hi, I only have the demo version of the game, and two of my peeps are a little sick and keep sneezing, I can't buy any medicine to cure them as it isn't available. Any ideas?

The Mac demo version allows purchases of groceries only. It's intended as a demo, so that you can see if you like the game and want to buy it. In the Mac version of the Virtual Families demo, the only way to be able to buy medicines to cure someone who is sick is to purchase the full game.

Lady, I'm aware that they are just pixels, but still, that does sound a little mean

I don't think it's mean at all. There is no 1-hour timer on the Mac version, which is the reason for the store purchase limitations. Peeps usually don't get sick in a 1-hour Windows demo. If a Mac user is playing the game long enough to encounter sickness, they should have a very good idea of whether or not they like the game enough to buy it. They can always pause the game until they've decided to purchase the game, so that the sick peep will not decline in health.

I understand, but can't really buy the game as I am playing it on my Mac at work! ; ) hehe

Thanks for your help, my lady is no longer sick, she is now 'a bit weak'
