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.

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.
