As my original villagers are getting on a bit, I have been breeding. However, my village now has a heavily male-biased population. There have been seven births thus far and ALL have been male. I assume that, eventually, the women will reach the 'menopause' and be unable to breed.

Is there anything I can do to redress the balance - my tribe's doomed if a girl isn't born ASAP! The youngest of the original (female) members is now pushing 50.

I really don't want to start over. I've just managed to bestow 'Masters degrees' in construction, agri/aquaculture, science and medicine (the latter with a minor in botany).

Is this a known bug that, sometimes, one sex will be favoured?

Cheers for any help.

No, it's not a bug; it's just how random births work. In real life I have only grandsons and no granddaughters.

There has been a lot of discussion in the forum about that situation ever since Village Sim was released. The gender imbalance usually corrects itself. If you start to get in a real bind, you can always research Medicine tech to prolong the lives of the females that you DO have.

Sacharissa, my original crew of villagers initially produced all girl babies, but I just kept trying and didn't have any problems breeding older females. IIRC, they were having babies in their early 60s, or at least late 50s (for the life of me, I can't remember which, but I know it was fairly old, for a villager).

Good luck!

I was getting all girls but suddenly now it is all boys, so soon it will even out. Be patient, it will happen.

I had the same thing happen. All my villagers were women except two and then my oldest man died. Had to breed that last guy like crazy to get some boys! He didn't seem to mind, tho...LOL
Now I'm waiting for one of the boys to be 18. Stuck at 9 villagers, seven women and two boys. I didn't even notice I had no guys until one of the two died.
That's what makes the game challenging!

i actually had a 74 year old female that some randy guy got pregnant when I was not looking she did make it through to have the twins no less but she died shortly after.
Am still looking for that guy..lol..She was one of favorites

I've had a nursing mother die before.

P.S. I'm new here. My name is Elizabeth
