Lewanda did a mod 1-1/2 years ago. It too is just 1 skin-tone but it is an option. You can find it
here.There are also a number of VV and VF players who have edited images so that other players can have a variety of images to choose from and they do it in their spare time. There are 45 pages for them for Virtual Families alone.
I am thankful for everyone who has donated their personal time and created mods to share with the world and I am very thankful to LDW for the hundreds of hours of game enjoyment I have had over the years and continue to have with each new game they develop.

Game development is a huge task and can take years before a product is ready to be released for game play. It also takes alot of money. I'm sure LDW would love for everyone to have a personalized family in Virtual Families. We all must keep in mind that LDW is a small company and they do an amazing job. Arnie made a comment last year that I think is worth repeating: "To develop lots of versions would be more expensive for LDW, meaning that the price would be higher." If the game cost $75 or more would enough people buy it?
Rockmower also made a post last year that I think helps to keep things in perspective. If you're interested in reading it you can find it
