I've played this game for quite a while now and have completed a few puzzles. The mom's are still nursing and it still says 120 minutes. They just never ever stop!

Is this a known _bug_???

This can happen for a couple of reasons;

1. A special event;
2. or most likely in this case you have changed you system clock.

I haven't changed my system clock. And what special event could that have been? How do I fix this??

If you had an event that turned a villager into a little girl, strange things can happen to her as she grows up again. One of them is that if she starts nursing, she'll continue nursing until she reaches the age she was at the time of the event.

Of course, those events affect only a single villager. If more than one mom is stuck nursing, it's usually caused by changes in the computer's system clock. The clock can change without a user's direct involvement. Windows will, by default, set the clock periodically, and a depleted "keep-alive" battery in the computer can cause erratic clock settings.

Hmmm, ok. Since all three of my mom's are still nursing I can only assume that something happened to my clock at some point. It's not off so it had to be something minor but affected my mother's somehow?

IS this fixable or do I have to just start over??

If you are not early on in the game, I would just let it play out. It is a possibility that they will release the kiddies in the future. But if your are just starting a new game when this occurred, I would suggest just starting a new game, but keep this one going to see if you can save it.

And as LadyCFII pointed out, your "keep-alive" battery could have caused the problem. If it did not keep your clock "going" while it was off, you could have had the wrong time when you turned your system back on. Then when you connected to the internet, it could have sync the system clock to the real time, thereby causing this problem. Just guessing. You could have your battery tested to see if it is still good.

Well let's see, I finished the flowerbed, additional housing, the lagoon, started on the ruins and the buried treasure and even found a four-year old floating in a crate. lol Oh and the beach is clear. So, I would really really really hate to have to start over

Well I say don't start over. Doesn’t sound like having those three mum's do anything but nurse will cause you any harm. Maybe they just want to be stay at home mom's? I'd say grant them their wish!

That might be, but my 12 year old has been 12 forever. So it looks like nobody is getting any older either. Sigh. Maybe I will have to start over. drat.
