That is nonsense, of course. I had mixed up this forum with the VV4 one.

My Virtual Families have tended to die in their early to mid 60s, although the earlier generations often died in their late 50s. That makes sense as they can afford a more healthy diet and other extras as the game goes on. It does seem odd, though, that VF peeps seem to live on average about ten years less than the supposedly 'backward' tribes in VV4.
