#27232 - 07/23/06 05:44 PM Breeding not welcome!
pupi Newbie Registered: 07/23/06 Posts: 10 Loc: Barcelona, Spain	Hi! I have a little problem with my villagers and breeding. It was complicated the first time, it took five attemps to make a baby, and another four to make the second. Now, I don't want more babies until I achieve the 3rt level of farming, but the girl is impregnated again, and it only took the boy to be near her! I can control them when I'm playing, but can I do when I'm away? I want to let the game run all day, but I don't want more unexpected villagers. Any ideas? Thank you!

If they are focusing on another task they likely won't breed. However, it does partly depend on their personalities and that you can't control. Try as I might, I had one game that just kept breeding like rabbits and I couldn't stop it. Kinda funny actually! _________________________ My VV2 story, "A Twist of Fate" And don't miss Krystal's stories, all three of them! "Life is too fast... unless you're in traffic."

Yes, I have no one on breeding mode, I suppose they finally get the message Thanks for the help anyway!

sunshower Consigliere Registered: 07/21/06 Posts: 254	i have one game going where i made a guy into a master parent. later i set his skill to building, and he still ended up impregnating every woman in the village while i was asleep. i woke up to nine women holding babies in the middle of the village. i have to watch that one carefully.

squawky Master Registered: 04/12/06 Posts: 596 Loc: New England	sometimes the villagers like to get away from their "real job" (the checked skill) and practice whatever skill they are best at...in one of my current games, my only builder likes to wander off and do research on occasion (he's a master scientist but only an adept builder). Best not to let the boys learn to breed unless you want lots of kids, I think -- jen

SaxyT Guru Registered: 07/17/06 Posts: 383 Loc: Ontario, Canada	I have noticed that when a villager is skilled in multiple areas they tend to focus on the area they have the most skill in, no matter what you set their focus to. If he has more knowledge in breeding than building, he'll probably build for a little while then go back to breeding whether you like or not. Good thing for the ladies though! _________________________ My VV2 story, "A Twist of Fate" And don't miss Krystal's stories, all three of them! "Life is too fast... unless you're in traffic."

SCTNE Trainee Registered: 07/22/06 Posts: 43 Loc: Toronto, Ontario, Canada	It will also depend on their level of competency in the details screen - if there level is high for breeding even though they are not in the breeding job, they will still breed anyway with or without your intervention. My first game I was at 92 villagers - was a 89, when one had tripplets. Edited by ladycfii (07/24/06 10:39 AM)

Village_Monk Legend Registered: 05/01/06 Posts: 1365 Loc: In The Cave...Watching You	I had a villager who was breeding capable but it was checked on friday. I was unable to watch the game over the weekend and it was on 2x for 2 days. On friday i had 40 villagers, come today i had 88. It doesnt take long once things are rolling and a skilled villager knows what to do. Edited by ladycfii (07/24/06 01:22 PM) _________________________ Village Monk "There's no place like 127.0.0.1"

grover Newbie Registered: 07/24/06 Posts: 12	I had so many kids at once that I started to run out of food. I've got all but 1 of my adults farming and am waiting for those kids to grow up and pull their own weight. BTW, what's with the child labor laws? They're on a deserted island. An 8 year old could forage if his life depended on it. _________________________ Near! Far!

Only the kiddies can pick'em. Edited by TheVillageIdiot (07/25/06 12:17 PM) _________________________ The VI
