I find my nursing mothers swimming in the ocean, especially when I first open my game. I wonder if has anything to do with them usually being farmers? Fishing for babies maybe?

I had a post one time in regards to this. I had been away from my game and when I came back to it later I had a villager standing in the ocean doing nothing. I finally pulled her out and saw that she had been standing in the surf holding a baby under the water. I inquired from our genious moderators and I believe it was Carla who told me it is not a glich, it is just to do with the timing of the game, etc. Technical stuff that I did not understand but makes sense to people much brighter than me. I had thought that my new mom had munchausens disease, you know harming there children to get attention themselves.

Nope not a glitch but a feature.

Upon game start up, all of your villagers are randomly place throughout the village. And the program does not look at the villager’s skill, age, gender, or if they are nursing.

You can observe some weird stuff due to this feature.

i sometimes catch a villager 'enjoying the garden' at the catctus! its always the same villager as well. strange...

I totally forgot to get my villagers to dig for the treasure this morning. Usually I make sure all the puzzles possible without the GC have been completed before he arrives, so that the villagers aren't distracted.

Anyway, I set about five to digging, and watched them closely, dragging them back to work every time the GC called a party (not always easy: one is a runner!). Eventually they completed the puzzle and I was surprised to see that the cave was open. The GC must have cleared away the boulder without telling me. There was no announcement that the last puzzle had been solved.

I'm experiencing a Naming Glitch. I dont have any Twins or Triplets, but just notice it changed a few of my characters to the same name, So Now I have 4 Miranda's and 3 John's, Strange since i haven't done anything except look at my computer screen for 48 hrs. Maybe its just my eyes seeing multiple characters of the same? Has anyone else experience the same name Glitch?

I have never had this happen or heard of this happening before, maybe you just forgot and gave the names Miranda and John to more then one villager

This happened to me serveral times in one game where I was really journalling everything. The names just changed themselves. Very confusing. I posted and someone said it was a known bug. Oh well...keeps you on your toes I guess.

wow I haven't seen it but I don't pay much attention to the names ...well I guess there is always something new to learn!

I noticed it just today... In one of my games "Unagi" was having trouble learning to build or heal, I would keep putting her at the task and she'll do it for a while, but when I came back later, no further progress. (This is in a finished game where I train all of the villagers to adept level in farming, building and healing, and then the women in breeding, and then let them do what they want to do...)

Anyway, since she was a problem villager, I've been keeping a closer eye on her. This morning, when I checked her progress, I saw that her name was now "Tonga" like the next villager down the line from her.
