i didn't realize it did aid them a bit...just gives me more reason to hate those dern parties.

although, i do think it is noteworthy that although i had the game on for the majority of my birthday, i never once saw the little bugger throw me a party

maybe that in and of itself was my present lol

Flutequeen, you're the one that shouted out to me as a fellow Texan and I neglected to shout back at ya. Hey, Flutequeen! I looked up and saw Houston and Eyeshigh, so sorry i missed sayin' hey to you, too. I'm sure you can relate to the highs and lows in TX weather. I remember that cold snap a couple weeks ago, Eyeshigh, cause I didn't bring my jacket with me that day. Burr. That's one thing Isola is free of - cold weather.

Sfrose, I agree it is best to keep an eye on those health meter bars and keep the villagers fed and nurtured. I just wish those bars were visible when you clicked on the villagers vs. clicking another button to look at their stats, cause man I get to clickety clacking around checking all 90 villagers' health, and my clicker finger starts hurting. But then, that could also be old-itis setting in. Hee.

Eyeshigh, if GC WOULD have thrown you a birthday party, I'll bet you would have fallen out of your chair! Hee hee. Happy belated birthday!

OMG, I'm an "Adviser" now, what do I do! Haha, I think I'm having a moment of self amusement. Happy Day to all my fellow VV lovers and animal lovers!

When I've been away from my computer and want to check on my villages, the first thing I do (after deciding on the event, if needed) is go to the Details screen and quickly scroll through the population. That will show me any villagers who are sick or in the rare instances, those whose health bars are critical.

After curing each villager (dragging them to the "clinic" area and grabbing a kid from the garden), I'll watch to make sure that all of the dead are buried.

Then I check on any other "maintenance" that is needed (like how many breeders I have and making sure any teenagers have something to do) and then go on to the next game.
