Don't jump off any cliffs, just yet! Give your family time to prove their worth. They really don't care if they sleep in a bed or on a couch, even the floor will do, if they have too.

My first family surprised the heck out of me! I'm on my 3rd day playing and so far they've accumulated a little over 25,757 coins. Bear in mind, I've bought-up everything conceivable. I praise them a lot, give them goodies here and there. I am convinced, it helps keep them on track.

Isn't the Doctor's consultation, in the 1st. VF, somewhere in the 450 range? If you wait a wee while, the peeps will usually let you know what's ailing them. Don't be too quick to grant them their wishes, their happiness is short lived.

I noticed the ever rotating collectables, and I don't bother my peeps unless it's an uncommon one. On behalf of my first family, who are now in their late fifties, I'm thankful the collectables keeps repeating.

Have you checked the difference, if any, between the salaries in VF1 versa VF2? I have a hunch the salaries are higher in VF2.

Rather than convince yourself about all the difficulties that may or may not lay ahead, challenge yourself!
I don't know about you, but I never could say NO to a challenge! Especially since it was you that got me going on the menu bar!!

ps. One down one to go. Still waiting for my guy to retire his slipper.
