How about some teenage jobs? Like the teen boys could organize games for the children, the tag suggestion or a soccer game (maybe builders could build a recreation field) and the teen girls could babysit the real young ones. Then the kids aren't just running crazy all over the place.

As for the elderly, I'd love to see the elderly actually look old, like gray hair and stooped over! And the little old men could play cards or something, little shuffleboard game, while the little old ladies knit afghans or make some new clothes for the villagers! Goodness knows after all that laundry, these poor people definitely need some new threads! OH yeah, and add to the laundry detail (i mean, c'mon it needs a little more spice) maybe a clothesline where the villagers can hang up the clothes to dry and collect them after a certain time period.

Cooking, i think it would be cool if they could build a fire and cook the food, then have a meal time where everyone comes to the fire and gets food to eat instead of standing at the food bin.

Last thing, i promise, i'd love to see the villagers have a pet! Maybe a friendly monkey that plays with the children but when the "magic banana tree" produces fruit, it can run up and bring down bunches for all the children to enjoy!
