Ok, so I know people get old eventualy, in VF too. But could someone explain to me why people get so old so young!!?

[img:center]http://www.ldwforums.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=filemanager&g=0&id=01d3129590dc8697b313ac677301026d&f=60[/img]
They are only about 50!

See what I mean here? Do you feel the same way? Show me your oldies.

P.S. I don't know exactly if the picture I put in worked, it's my first time putting it in. Hope it worked!

This is a common observation, aka complaint. I too was shocked when my first family got prematurely gray at age 45. I thought, and still think, this is not even close to the real world. Yes, they simply age too fast and when they pass you're lucky if you know how old they were since that info is nowhere to be found after they're gone.

I feel sad for them when they turn gray at such an early age.. but if you think about VF years, 60 is significantly older in the game than in real life since they typically don't live too much longer than that.

or at least I like to think of it that way!

Well I am not sure I would agree with your statement "prematurely gray @ 45" My RL wife is only 40 just turned 40 in fact... and has gray hair LOL... And to top that off I am bald and only 38...... My hair loss started in my 20's... and I let my beard grow out last winter and it had gray hair in it..... LOL

My beard is almost completely grey, and has been since I was in my late thirties. The hair on my head, though, is still mousy-brown; although it started thinning when I was in my late twenties, I've still got a lot more hair than many men my age (I'm 61). I just say I've got a high forehead. laugh

Okay, LOL, MOST people do not get gray until their late 50's and early 60's in the real world. There are some beautiful people who are the exception.

Here's a photo of father and son, Mr. Spike, the father is not even 50 yet and looks like he's in his 70's! He should still be vital looking in his 50's, not looking like he's ready for the old folks home or eternal rest. The store has been out of Clairol since I started playing, my guess is they're sold out!

When this game was in Beta Testing, no one complained about the early aging? And what about children who are playing the game? Now they will be worried that their grandparents will be dying soon if they are in their 50's, as I am. My grandsons love all the VV games, but I haven't encouraged them to play this one, because they will worry about me dying !!! I'm 58 and my hair has hardly any gray !! And I don't creep around like a 90 year old. Shoot, my grandmother was 90 and didn't move so slowly.
