Hi babylocks. Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your game. Is it Virtual Families 2 or the original Virtual Families? My response below assumes that it's VF2. smile

1. Regarding the mother who won't work, what is her profession? Does she have any dislikes? What (if any) career upgrades are in the office?

2. Yes, sometimes the peeps go in the toilet together.

3. The weather conditions are random. It snows in my game too and I love in sunny California. LOL! You can shut down the game and then reopen it and the snow will be gone. There are also fun bottles of different weather sometimes available in the Flea Market. smile

Hi babylocks. Your little person is at the Apprentice level in her career/profession but her profession is not Apprentice. smile Her profession is listed directly above that. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate it.

In order to move any furniture you need to first open the Decor/Decorate Tray. Just click the Decorate Tab (or the Decor button). Then you'll be able to:
  • Move the furniture around the house.
  • Place furniture back into the Decor Tray to save for later.
  • Drag unwanted furniture outside the gate to sell it.
I hope this helps... and welcome back! laugh

That's probably normal, depending upon what his salary is now. Unlike the original Virtual Families game, VF2 doesn't display fractional money amounts, so he would have to earn almost a full coin on a work cycle before you will see the bank amount change. When an adult's salary is low (e.g. less than 100), you may not see an increase in the bank balance until they have completed several work cycles. You will see the bank change much more often at the higher career levels.

That's perfectly OK, especially when your little persons are at the start of their careers, and don't earn much money. Each time they complete a work cycle they will get paid a small fraction of their daily wage as a bonus. I'm not sure, but I think it's 1%. Therefore if they are only earning something like 50 coins a day, they would get a bonus of half a coin. Since the bank shows only whole numbers, the fraction is carried forward until they complete a work cycle which takes them up to a whole coin, which then shows in your bank.

The daily wages are paid in (I think) hourly payments. Although you might hear a 'ching' noise there isn't any message to let you know it has been paid.

NOTE TO SELF: Must type faster, Barbara beat me to it. smile

Yes, when you purchase coins from the Coins and More section, your bank account balance will be increased by the number of coins shown in the item you buy. There are other items in there that permanently lower the cost of food and medicine, and increase the number and value of collectibles that appear in the yard.

Our games don't support syncing between devices. There are different opinions about that, but we have chosen to have one family per device. Many people like having different families when they have multiple devices, and syncing families between devices would require an Internet connection in order to play. We think that's an inconvenience that many people would rather avoid. smile

Hi babylocks. The first thing you should do is adopt a child. To do this open the Store category, tap/click on Special Upgrades and tap/click Adoption Services. For the price of 4,000 coins you can adopt a child.

Next, check your adults Details page. Next to "Married" does it say "No"?

You are playing the iOS version right? Could anything have happened that changed the clock settings on your device?

In case you weren't aware, there is a separate forum for the iOS version. You can find it here.

You may be interested in knowing that in Virtual Families 2: Our Dream House, if there are no children to inherit the house after the adults have passed, your game will not end. You'll get a message stating that your family has been lost and that you need to choose someone new. You'll be taken to the Adoption screen (not the Family screen) where you can scroll through all the peeps and choose someone new to start a family with. You will not lose any of the money in the Family Bank, nor will you lose any renovations, decor items, completed goals, etc.

This new person will be placed on the Family screen (as well as their spouse and any children they may have), will count as the Next Generation, but they will not be "branched" from the previous generation on the Family Tree. (This is also true for the desktop version).

Good luck! smile

Hi all VF2 afficionados. I'm experiencing a bug in my house (and not the collectible kind.) For some reason my peeps aren't able to pick up socks. These are right in clear view in the middle of the floor, not hidden by furniture. I'll place a peep on the sock, they bend over to pick it up, then just walk away from it. I've tried closing out of the game and starting up again and this doesn't help. I'm into my 9th generation and haven't had this happen before. Anyone else having this problem? I now have about 5 or 6 socks around the house and it's getting messy! BTW, they are able to pick up wrappers just fine. The problem is only with the socks.

Xay, Thank you! Just before this "glitch" started to occur I had rearranged the laundry room. After reading your post I put the room back the way I had it before and now they will pick up the socks. Who knew?!? Thanks again.

Hi babylocks. I'm sorry that happened to your game. frown When your person passed away without anyone available to inherit the house, the game should have done exactly what I described.

Based on what you've posted, it does sound like your game is not functioning normally. Can you describe what happened when your person passed? What messages did the game give you? Did you have any rooms renovated? If so, are they still renovated? Are the Goals your person achieved and Decor Items all still there?

The game said nothing just that she has passed and i needed to choose someone new..so i chose a man.I lost all the money in the bank and started from what he brought into the game..now the same thing is happening again the game had not offered anyone to marry at all,so he is very depressed and i cannot afford to pay for a child because i lost all the money from before..I have 2 rooms decorated the back and front patio and a few furniture.Thats all still there,i just keep losing money and not getting any marriage offers..hes on his 2 days so far..i think he will die too and i will lose his money also..at this rate i will never be able to afford a child.....I wonder if i should delete the game and reinstall it again..I am upset that i will lose all the decor that i have already made to the house...what do you think????should i start over????

No, if you delete the game you will lose everything.

Does the time on your device keep resetting? If it does, that affects the game and the marriage proposals will stop, other emails, etc will stop coming. If you can, fix whatever changes the clock on your device.


Mine was caused by changing batteries, I don't have an American cell phone plan yet, and I didn't want to roam my phone so I took out the sim card, meaning my phone needs me to manually adjust the time every time I switch batteries. I fixed this by using one battery and keeping it on the charger, so I never have to switch the phone off.

(Sorry to interfere Miss Kathy blush )
