I don't use it much, actually. I focus more on the families. But money can buy a bit of happiness.

Not much. I'd have stopped with the game if it weren't for the self-imposed rules I've been using. I described the naming system I'm using here: http://www.ldwforums.com/ubbthreads/ubbt...mpos#Post214809

I also don't want the husband and wife of each generation to be a face type that I've already had, so trying to avoid that has added another layer of challenge for me. It takes a lot of patience though as you have to reload the saved files over and over again for marriage proposals and births.

Right now I have: 13,252,774,854,656.01! Phew. I don't bother to have them work on their careers. Usually they get up to level 3 on their own. I'd rather they not work on their careers at all because the promotion message is annoying. Sometimes I'll give the book you can buy from the store for them to get that first annoying picture out of the way.

I always buy the baby boost for new couples, and often just by the diagnostic tool to see exactly what they need instead of having to drag them and figure it out.

I think for future VVF games it should take longer to earn money and there shouldn't be such a high interest on it. I'd like to see more regular taxes and the money split among the children would help keep it down. More expensive items to buy would be nice too.

Maybe there could be an occasional "identify theft" where a bunch of your money is stolen and you lose more than usual, or have the bank go broke.

I'll always use Baby Boost before having a couple try for a child, just because I can afford it and it can't do any harm. Similarly, if a peep is feeling sick I'll buy a doctor's consultation just to be safe, to make sure there's no underlying more serious illness. I expect their doctor is fed up with getting called out because of minor ailments.

Of course, as I've said, I've more money than I can spend.

I've had a glitch in my game recently, and, for some reason, it's not going away, although I'm happy.
I've just started playing LATE last night, and, already, I have one million dollars. So, I've bought all of the upgrades and am just generally focused on developing their family.
It's about three years into the marriage and they have two children, so...
After Stephen and Portal, soon to be renamed Pimmie, leave for college, I'll start focusing on... Career and such, as, Jasper, the father, has just been demoted for some infringement of work on his part or something and Kimmi, the mother, isn't really doing anything.
Although, by that time, by Baby Boost or compliance with my demands, there will be six children in the house, so, who knows?
Also, occasionally, like once every hour, I'll waste money that I don't need and buy them some doctors consultation just to make sure everything is A.O.K. Also, usually, when the store restocks, after a few minutes, the only things left in there are the outfits. Because I have more money than I know what to do with, I like to just spend it wherever.
And, hey, maybe some of the things that I do change will hold on over to the next generation, if the glitch does not.

Has your computer clock advanced in time accidentally?

Nope. It just... I don't know. I looked down and it said 1000000.00. I waited for it to go away, but, it never did.

i just buy tons of food, and change their clothes a lot, buy all of the extras, like cologne, movies, etc. Too bad there is not a dentist, because they eat a LOT of candy.

With my rich families, I usually just go crazy in the store. I buy everything I have room for and tons and tons of organic food.

I usually just see how much money I can get.

My little sister has Cheat Engine installed for one of her other games.
Maybe that twitched or something?
I have no idea how to use it, but, I guess it would make sense?
