Help! I'm on my 4th generation, now with one girl (26 years old). I've been with her alone for the last 2 days, pausing the game overnight, and haven't seen one marriage proposal! How will my Virtual Families continue? Maybe I'm being premature about this, but 2 days is a long wait - every other time, I've seen a proposal within the first 15 minutes or less! thanks

What version of the game do you have (look on the menu screen), and have you installed any updates since purchasing and installing Virtual Families?

i had the ---4 version, then this morning updated to the ---5 since i saw that there was the update with fixes. Since then, still no proposals.

We're seeing some reports from players that might indicate that installing updates over games in progress might create various issues (or fail to resolve issues in games that were experiencing difficulties prior to the update). I wouldn't give up, though, since it's entirely possible that you will either start getting email proposals, or get an 'heir' through one of the random events.

okay - i'll just stick with her for a while longer then. thanks for the responses!

that's not to say that a young single lady cant life a full & happy life, right???

tada (sort of). my little lady finally received a marriage proposal at 58 yrs old! although we tried many times, they could not have babies. She passed at 67, leaving a slightly younger widower. He remarried and widowed again three (!) times before passing on himself. Sadly, my family was gone, with no new generation to take over the house. My game was over.

are you saying that the guy she married got remarried after she died i am asking because adretta is now 49 and they have tried a bunch of times now for a baby with no luck and in about 15 mintes she will be be 50 so i want to know. i had the same problems has you with the proposals

yep - he remarried a couple times, but much as they all tried, there were no babies . . . sad

Keep trying with your 49/50 year old. I had a 50 year old woman have a baby, so it's not over the moment she turns 50. You definitely should use the baby boost on her, if you haven't already. More baby boost might help.

Plus you might get the adoption event.

I had a couple flat out refuse to have a baby for 15 years (well, they would try but it never worked even with baby boost). Then suddenly at 50, they had a new baby girl. Neither of them wanted kids though and focused on their careers for 15 years, making a lot of money, so I can't complain too much.

I am at my Fifth or Sixth generation. I adopted my child, a boy, and it has been 5 "years" and he still hasn't gotten a Matchmaker Email. He doesn't get any Email. He works like mad and is constantly being promoted, obviously he needs to work less and flirt more. He does send me emails. I am afraid he will grow old and die alone.

Any Ideas?

Now I have a doubt...

I'm kinda selective in finding husbands/wives to my peeps. I'd not feel comfortable in getting the first one that comes around. I've never had that marriage proposal problems so far, but now it's freaking me out the idea of not having children and have to end the game without getting all the trophies...

If you get this game over thing, is it possible to start a new family from the point you were before?
