ok i'm taking my time in my new game and so far i'm doing ok but i'm still on the 7 villagers i started with, i want to keep going till i have level 3 farming before having babies but will my women be to old then, i know it will prob take longer to gain the tech points without kids but is it doable or should i be having a baby now.

They will continue to have children until they pass away. I actually like to make my eldest women preggers cause if they do pass away then their baby automatically becomes 2 years old!

The men can father kids all their lives. The women stop having babies at 50 although they'll still go in the loveshack.

Well, that explains why my villagers were having lots of fun without getting any "consequences" for their wild behavior!

oooppps i forgot i posted this, thankyou for ur replies

I have had mothers past 71 years of age!

in vv1 the women could have kids from 18 to death

in vv2 the cut off is 50

Uh, oh--I'm sunk then because all I have had is Boys and my only gal able to have kids is now pregnant at 48--she Better have a girl:(

It was one of the things I loved about VV1; older mums having babies. We older mums do have much to offer little ones. I miss that in VV2

I think that is sad, Sarah had a son at 99 and even today some women are having children at 55 and 60.

I had a grandson born when I was 41 and when I would take care of him for the weekend, I was glad to give him back (he's seven now and I wish he could live here, lol) at the end of the weekend. In VV1 I hated that the women could get pregnant at such old ages. I would hate to get pregnant now, think how old I'd be when the child graduated!

Getting pregnant after menopause is a rare occurrence, so I think that age 50 cut-off makes sense. It still happens, but it's a freak accident when it does.
