OK, so just for my understanding - the updated version should fix the 30th generation curse?

I found the link to the thread which explains how to 'choose' your suitor: Clicky I was using this method to save time waiting around for new proposals, but that doesn't work any more.

Yes, it does, plus a few other fixes, such as the issue with the store not always refreshing on time. See the readme file for more details.

I think I will have to contact Support then, as I have the latest version, but my singleton hasn't received any marriage proposals. I will wait another day or two, but she's already been in the house over 10 years.

KittyB, is it possible that your system clock was changed? That could cause what you are seeing. Also, if you pause the game often, that can affect the rate of emails, as well as events.

I don't think the system clock has been changed - I have it set to automatically update, and I think that happens pretty often, so I would've had this problem before. I have used the 'pause' option a lot in the game - I'd say for at least half my generations - and this is the first time I've had a problem with it. And it happens to coincide with reaching gen 31.

I will keep playing (well, waiting) and see if my person gets any proposals. If not, I will have to start again from scratch.

Thanks for the replies, all.

If you haven't made a back-up of that game slot file then I recommend you do it now. And if the Family Tree doesn't show her having 6 kids then hopefully you'll get an adoption event.

My Generation 30 was fine, it was Generation 31 that didn't get any proposals so I installed the updated version. Then I had to do something different to restart the 31st Generation but at the moment I don't remember what it was.

I just found an older post I made:

Was it simply clicking the Next Generation button that gave me that message? Does anyone else remember what they did to restart Generation 31?

If you never saw that message then I'm thinking that your game is not yet using the updated files. Just a thought.

If you go to the families screen you should see the 'New Generation' button at the top. If you click on that, you should get the message mentioned by MissKathy. If you click OK, the game should start agin with you being presented with a choice of the previous generation's kids to pick. If you clicked 'Cancel' or similar earler you would get a situation like the one you describe.

If you can't see the 'New Generation' button and you definitely have version 1.00.09, there's something wrong!

OK, I backed up my game, clicked on 'New Generation' and then saw the message Miss Kathy posted. I take it the only way forward is to lose my founding family from the family tree? I will have to make a screenshot, so I can remember Bono and Wifi. *sniff*

AWESOME!!! I'm so glad my post helped you! Yes, the only way to move forward is to lose the oldest family from the family tree. And this will happen with each of your next generations.

I remembered thinking that simply installing the update would automatically fix Generation 31 but it doesn't, at least not if you're already there. None of my other families are that far along so I can't test it out on them.

Okeydoke, I will make a screenshot and start my next generation. I will let you know if this fixes the problem.

Thanks, everyone, for all your help.
