I have been playing the VV4 lately and I have a real issue with the fact that I have level 3 everything plus I have about 65 or so of the trophies. My problem is I'm missing 1 item to complete the science and the flutes but only have 6 fish scales. I play frequently and scope the island constantly, I keep getting the same flute or science pieces over and over. I barely get any fish scales as I mentioned (6) Finished the graveyard so to speak, Hospital done, 3 Huts, Nursery, Clothes hut.So on, plus I can't get past 95 people even though kids keep being born. Do I just sit and wait or is there something I haven't done??? On the trophy screen I have everything but finished collections all 5 skills and 5 skills nursery hit 100 ppl.Can't tell you much more if you need more info let me know..

im having the same troubles

Me too! My population is maxed at 95, I have all 16 puzzles,all 3 levels of each technology but I am missing 1 flute, 2 scales and 2 mausoleum pieces and its been the same for 3 days now

Anyone know why my pop would be maxed at 95? I have seen some people mention having over a hundred...

You get 5 more population for each collection you complete. If you complete all three remaining collections you will get 15 more people. I am still waiting to complete my fish scales and have 105 max pop at present

Ahhh I see. Thank you

Actually, there is an extra bonus of five more peeps for completing all four collections, so there is a maximum population of 115. It's also possible to get 117 if the last birth turn out to be triplets.

Wow. I'm still at only 6 fish scales so stuck at 105. All the fish scales keep being dupes.

I am only missing 1 lab collectible and 3 fish scales. . . And I scan the island basically the whole time I am playing.

I have been playing for almost 50 hours too.

I still play constantly and starting to get annoyed now still short 1 flute and 6 fish scales.

I've been playing since day 1 and am getting a little frustrated myself. I still need 3 scales, 1 lab gear and 1 mausoleum piece. I finished the 'game' several days ago and just working on the trophies as it were. I only get an average of 3 scales each low tide and they are always duplicates. I haven't gotten a new piece in several days now and I got my next to the last piece of the mausoleum 2 or 3 days ago.

I would like to increase my tribe to get the 'big' trophy of 100 people, but, without one of the collections being finished that isn't possible.

I DO love the nursery school on vv4. Some of the rug rats don't learn much, but others do, so it's a nice change for vv, even though this was done on a similar game, so nothing new in this type of game.

Out of 5 stars I would give the latest virtual villagers a 3 1/2.

Is there anyone who has all trophies?
I need 1 flute, 1 masoleum, 1 research and 3 fishscales.

Waiting on my last fish scale.

Yeah, those last few seem to take forever. I remember in VF, I had something like 10 generations or more before I found that last bug!! Such a sense of triumph when I got it though!

I've found my last flute!

I still need one grave piece, two flutes, and six scales. The same darn scales and flutes keep showing up and grave pieces next to never. Very frustrating.

Still waiting for last grave piece >>!

i'm on my very last fish scale still! maybe before i move...if i'm lucky.

FINALLY got my last grave piece. Now, where do the spirits usually show up? Or is it all over the place?

I am positive that this game is more than 3 1/2. To me, it's 5!

EDIT: Why am i not finding any more fish scales?

My first spirit showed up in the tide-pool, that was real spooky, cause I did not read the trophies section at the time. I was really startled ...
But they show up wherever they want to show up

i have completed all the collections, i find that

Well, out of the 7 that have visited, I've only been around to see one. Helped me get a fish scale but I wish they'd help me with those last two wind pipes!

Hi all,

Here I am, waiting for the last mausoleum piece as well.

The weird thing is that for hours now, I've been getting lab pieces, fish scales and wind pipes, but not a mausoleum piece in sight any more, not even one that I already have. I guess I need to be patient.

Cheers,

Khazan

Only the Mausoleum pieces you don't have yet will show up, when you got all the pieces they won't appear anymore.

Soo it's just patience here, I'm waiting too

The mausoleum collection is the one collection that does not have repeats. I waited forever for that last piece as well and finally got it yesterday, several days after finding the most recent one before that.

I wonder what happens if the non-repeatable piece does appear but the player for some reason misses it. Will it appear again? The logic says it has to. But I am a paranoid.

They will appear until you pick them up

Thanks! Now I can breathe again.
