Hello Mary. Do you have the most recent version (1.3.0.1) of VF2 for Kindle fire? If not, you should update your game. From what you've described it sounds like there may be a piece of furniture or other Decor item (possibly on the upper floor(s)) that is causing your little family trouble. The "jitters" you mention are because your little person is unable to complete the task they set out to do so they are are "searching" for a task that they can successfully complete. You can read more about it in
this post. There's also a link to the Helpful Tips section that will tell you how you can resolve the issue. Even though the tips are for iOS, they work the same for Android.
When you said you're "fast-forwarding" do you mean that you are using the Time Warp feature in the game or are you adjusting the clock settings on your Kindle? We do not recommend adjusting your devices clock settings to make the game go faster. For more about why, there is a message at the very top of
this post. I hope you find this information helpful.
