I have a family on its 7th generation and all they need are 2 more bugs (yellow moth and small brown beetle) to finish ALL their collections. I got the dragonfly yesterday and the blue moth as well as the last picture piece this morning.

I've been waiting on the same last two collectibles for five generations now. Just the same ol' same ol'.

Green, green envy here, Jenny! Of course, it would help it I were to spend a couple of hours with the family, I am sure.
Be sure to let us know when you complete all so we can celebrate SOMEONE finishing all the collections.

I have been playing VF since the day it was released and STILL don't have all the collections completed. I still need a couple bugs and one of the rare leaves. I've made it rain dozens of time and nada. I've made the sun shine dozens of times, nada!

I have, at different times, deleted some of the other families just so I have something to do. Get really tired of picking up socks and cooking dinner, lol!

If anyone gets them all let us know!

I still dont have them all either.

I have one family that's been there since the day VF was released and I STILL need 3 bugs and a twig! I have done everything: make it rain, make the sun shine, etc. NADA NOTHING ZIP I have grown so bored with this! Nothing left to do in the game but cook, pick up stuff and unsuitable content removed by moderator. What a big let down. They really need to think about adding 'generation based' items/chores/collectibles for the next VF - if indeed they intend to do a VF2!

Hi cindylouwho. Lostie completed all 4 collections in one family yesterday. See here.

Some of us make and install mods to keep things interesting while we search for missing collection pieces and try to earn the other trophies. Do you have any interest in those activities? Others do different experiments in their games. Do you have other trophies to earn other than the ones concerning collectibles?

Keep the faith, you'll complete your collections.

I'm in the same boat Cindylouwho is in: I have very few trophies left to collect and the game has become very boring. I think it would be more challenging if LDW had added new sets of challenges after the first ones were met: like new upgrades to the house or something that you can buy. My money is just accumulating and there's nothing to spend it on except food and odds & ends.

I have read about the mods, but I am not sure what this is all about. How do you add them?

MoonStar, for mods you can read the following guide on downloading and installing them.
Installation Instructions for Graphic Mods

The mods themselves are located here:
Virtual Families Mods

You also seem to have some nice suggestions for the game, you should post about that here:

I just added a new bug to my collection in my Rainbow family which is well on its way to generation 6.

62 year old Spike V made that lovely discovery soon after his wife passed away.

I try not to think of it as not receiving any new collectibles in a certain amount of generations.. I just see it as "it took me 5 generations to get this collectible." That just shows you what the definition of "rare" or "uncommon" really is.
