Hi, I've been browsing the threads, and haven't yet found anyone with an under 14 yr old living alone in the house. Both parents dead, older brother at college.

Both boys are adopted.

So far, the college boy hasn' come home yet.

The younger boy hadn't a clue what to do with a stove fire. Right now, he's "playing cook."

Will the older brother come home?

This is a desktop game, Mac, not the full game (i'm still testing it out before I get the moola to splurge)

Thanks, Beeky

No, you won't see the older brother again until you decide to start a new generation. To put out the fire,

i had a kide how was 8 then i started a new generation and he was 22

I have had many kids live alone in the house after the parents died and the other kids were in collage. I have had an adopted child knock on the door and then the next day the parents
died.
I kept them until they went to collage. They age fast and I made sure there was lots of bread, milk and yogart and veggies
and they
lived fine.I gave them fruit and candy and vitamins as well and their hunger level never went below half.

There is a pretty good discussion about this subject here that you might find interesting.
