That happened to me too but I'm on iPad I thought you could readopt another person and keep going then. I had like 17 or 18 generations and I tried like 5 times to try to get a child but then 57 came and I came back and they both died in the fiftys. I worked on it about a year had like 10 million and had every upgrade and then I saw it said game over and I looked under the family thing and it didn't have the start a new generation or what ever it says and I was mad... Very... Then I almost cried bc I worked so hard. Please fix that on the vf2. And pleeeeeeease pleeeeeeease hurry I've been waiting almost half a year and it still says feb. 8 2012 and 80% ! Please respond to this and tell me at least the month it's release... Ps I'm sorry this post is so long..pss this is very hard to type this on iPad.
