Unfortunately, gohill, I only started noticing what I think maybe misleading info on the stats pages regarding age after my games were established and after the cemetary was full.
I'm loathe to delete one of my games to do some kind of control study as yourself and Jer are, but in any case, it's very hard to track ages of death once the cemetary is full. I've checked the log files and while they state when someone has died, they don't mention the age. That's a strange ommission when every berry and sneeze, joke, haha, is listed, but not age at death. It's hard to check the log files anyway as there's so much minutiae on it, it makes for very, very boring reading, haha!!
I'm surprised you're villagers live into their 80's on a regular basis as you are probably more of a "controlling" master then I am, haha, but obviously they are made of stronger stuff then mine.
Been monitoring them pretty closely for the last few weeks, as I said, and still none have lived beyond 79.
I hope the aging of VV's is handled better in VV2, I'm working on a few ideas which I will post when I've sorted them out. Also, I don't want to duplicate too much of what's already been mentioned.
By the way, have you tried out the "private" messaging available on this forum?
Sorry for going on a bit, one of my dogs has been sick all day and I'm keeping a close eye on her and typing at the same time, oh, she's looking really miserably at me now, poor pet...
