ok...im not going to criticize vf1, i expected it to be a 'prototype' and i have no doubt it will improve as subsequent versions come out. so here are my thoughts for vf2-

-reduce cost of home improvements (or find others ways of earning money quicker)

-be able to upgrade all facets of each room (eg instead of upgrading the entire kitchen at once, be able to purchase items like toasters, larger bin, curtains, paint walls etc)

-i like the suggestion of being able to change into swimwear and pyjamas

- be able to build on to the house (maybe build an extra bathroom, patio, bedroom, cinema, cubbyhouse, sewing room - maybe instead of buying clothes, mum can sew them etc)

- a garden where they can grow and harvest their own organics instead of buying them

-the occasional visitor (extra child for a sleepover. visit from college children for a bbq, pool party)

-have a birthday party where someone has to decorate and then clean up afterwards

-enjoy a xmas with a tree & pressies

-buy costumes and send the children out trick or treating

(celebrations can be a choice thing 'its christmas, would you like to put up a tree?' yes or no - so those who do not celebrate these things cant complain they are politically incorrect)

-children to be able to help build things with parents (the birdhouse, a doghouse, letterbox, the fountain)

-be able to buy a lawn mower and mow the lawn

-be able to grow flowers then pick them to put in the house

-love the amount of trophy goals to achieve...great idea

-dont feel the need for a litter box (in real life, my neighbours let their cats do their business in my yard...i assume thats what my vf cat does...goes next door !!!)
