im having energy problems. everything is fine there full of food, and very happy. but there just exhausted help? and i got the game from SHOCKWAVE.COM (i have shockwave unlimited so i didn't have to pay for the game) i have 0.1 Thank You SimSane it worked!

When you open your game, what version does it say? The latest version is 1.00.05. If you don't have that version then you need to get it and install it. The tiredness/exhaustion issue was fixed in the later version.

If you do have that version, are you playing mostly in the evening? If so, try switching their day/night on the menu screen. You have to switch it for each family. When you do switch it, you'll find they get up early (like around 5:30 in the evening -- which is 5:30 in the morning for them if you do switch it) and then they are energetic most of the night. Your evening/night I mean.

eta -- here's a post that one of the game developers put on this site that talks about the latest version and how to install it:

Simsane, that post is only valid if the game was purchased from LDW. If someone bought their game from some other game store, then they will have to contact that store for assistance.

Oh, sorry about that. I guess I'll make sure not to answer those types of posts again.
