Please don't lose the basic survival feel of the VV in a whole heap of "civilised, metropolitan" additions.



I agree, but I do think that some improvments, like having a hospital hut might add a nice touch.

I personally care more about things like having the kids randomly pick mushies on their own, being able to apprentice and learn a trade before they start working (instead of inheriting it from their parents like its a caste system), and other tweaks rather than an overhaul of the game.

I like the native / survival feel to the game as well. I beleive that it is part of the appeal to almost everyone who likes the game, otherwise they would be happy playing SIMS (inferior game-IMHO). In a strange way, this one feels more authentic than the others, although the setting is less familiar.
