I was playing Virtual Families on my pc and one of the family members had died. I was later seeing to my fish on my ipod when I heard some one tapping very loud on that sounded like on a window. I jumped round with fright wondering who it was. To discover it was Decimal waving at me to say she was depressed.
This was so weird

*Giggles* I love the knocking on the screen! They do it when they are brand new or when they get sick too. It's cute!

Mine did it today when she went to prepare a meal and there was no food in the fridge. I had to do a quick run to the grocery store for her so she could feed her family.

The only time I have had mine do that so far is when there are several sick people and they get impatient waiting for the others to be cured so they can have their turn.

I've had my tool tray full quite a few times lately... so they've had to wait a bit for their meds. I used to always make sure I had an empty slot, but stopped doing that for some reason. (Probably greedy to get more store items. lol)

I try to keep the sounds really low now because they have caught me off guard many times with their sounds and my volume being way too high

The sound that gets me is the female saying "Oh" when there is a leak or a fire. She sounds exactly like my mother-in-law so every time I hear that sound away from the computer I turn around and look for her and wonder what in my house is falling apart.
