OMG I am on edge big time. I am a newbie to the game, and this is my first generation. My eldest just turned 60, and I so don't want any of them to pass. I am afraid every time I go to check in on my family. Crazy the attachment I have already developed.

I know the feeling MnM! You've done very well with your family to have your eldest reach 60 on your first generation.

To really give them the longest life they can get, try to get some fruit and vitamins into them if you can afford it, as well as any health-advancing things like the hand gel. Praising them when they exercise really seems to help as well! I always try to keep their health bar full.

Even with a full health bar they all have their time to pass away and it will be hard to take when it does happen. I hope they don't go too soon but it must be getting close.

Welcome to the forums by the way!

I know what you mean, MnM! I sometimes dread turning on the game for the same reason. I've been playing the game since it was released, and have seen many generations come and go, but have never really got over being affected by the loss of a peep. The first time hits even harder.

As Lyssaria said, 60 is a good age for a peep in the first generation, so they have lived a full (electronic) life.

Although I've said this before, it is worth repeating: the way the game handles the passing of the peeps is excellently done; it is dignified but not mawkish. Congratulations, LDW, on an excellent solution to what could be a real problem.
