No, no...not your OWN house! We know that when we get addicted to VF, our own houses suffer!

What I mean is, do you clean your FV house and lawn every day? I've see quite a few screen shots in which there are bunches of socks and wrappers around. Is it true that they "breed" and by leaving them there, more will "grow"?

LOL! Good question! I read that a messy house brings down your peeps spirits.

Each time I find any issue (including unwatered flowers) I'll get my peeps to clean it up or fix it right away! The only time you'll see wrappers or other issues in my screenshot is if I was rushing to get a screenshot or it's from one of my test families that I keep paused.

I think it would build up eventually, especially with the trash event I haven't thought about whether it would stop once there's a certain amount of trash on the ground or not.. great question!

I'm exactly like Lyssaria - can't see items or weeds or whatever that I have to clean it!

Me too - I have to clean them as soon as I see them! Unless my peeps are old; then I leave them for the next generation!

Check out this house! No one but the cat is living in it right now because I didn't want to start a new generation, pause the game and then be without my computer for a week. So, the mess is piling up for the next family. I see trophies in their future!

Oh wow! That definitely shows that messes pile up Kathy Lots of bees in that trash can too! That collectibles/pick-ups mod definitely makes it more pleasant to look at though

Ok, that's it! I'm going to do some experimenting. I cleaned up everything in all my fams today so I'm starting fresh. In 2 of my fams (one rich, one poor), I'm going to leave everything scattered around for one week. In 2 other fams, I'll clean as usual, but count how many of each thing I clean.

I know that I might get fined for having too many weeds in the yard, but it's a risk I'll take!

I'll let you all know what happens.

Every time I open a family I first check for any sickness then look round the house and garden and pick up wrappers, socks, and weeds, and clear up any stains. Only when the house is looking presentable will I open any waiting emails and see how the peeps are getting on.

It's ironic really, as I'm terrible at carrying out housework in RL.

I do the same thing Arnie. My little peeps house and yard have to be spotless.
