dansmot, I think it would be great if we could keep the elders and still start a new generation. That's what this game is missing...grandparents. I've heard so many say they can't wait for them to die when they get older. That really disturbs me as to the affect that kind of thinking might have on the younger generation who are playing this game.

Lyssaria, you're right! I found out early in the game that the fruits and vitamins will let us keep our little peeps a bit longer. Though, even with that sometimes they die early. At least with the fruit and vitamins mine die with perfect health.

I think they're more concentrated on the excitement of starting a new generation than to have the elders pass away I at least hope that's what they're getting from the game although that is a pretty dangerous territory! I would love for them to have grandparents.

I think Grandparents would be a great idea, lot's of families have a grandparent living with them, why not our peeps?! Besides, it would be nice to have the experienced elder adding to the bank!! But, I expect if Arthur does allow Grandparents on VF2 I would assume they would be retired and not work anymore anyway!

Yeah grandparents is good idea at least this way you not have to wait till they die to start a new gen.
