I thought I would start a Wish List for a patch or the next game.

Not in any order:

1)I would love to see the "Mother with baby" be able to tell stories or teach the children. Or walk around showing the baby (like she does now) but have the baby LEARN from this (then the baby would have SOME knowledge or likes/dislikes). Something that isn't really 'work'for a mother caring for a baby.

2)Stew recipe that creates a "runner" for a short period of time. My Runners get twice as much done as the regular villagers!

3)A little more of a difference in the LOOK of adults and Teens - I am having a problem telling some of them apart LOL.

4)Geneology Stay after the Child becomes an adult - so you know who the parents are.

Okay I started - would love to see some of your ideas.

i would like it if the mothers could pass the babies on to the teens (like baby-siting)

Ohhh I love that one lil villager!!

I'd like to see the mothers be able to earn some tech points. Any real parent knows it is hard work!

I'd like to see some "bratty" behavior from the little ones. Throwing a tantrum, doesn't want to share etc... and then interaction from an adult ... scolding child, sending child to time out. The child could grab a collectable and not want to put it in the research hut until spoken to by an adult.

I'd like for the little ones to go to an adult or nursing mom if something scares them or they fall or someone hurts their feelings. Some more interaction with the mothers than just wandering around alone.

Maybe at least be able to hug an adult without the adult running away because "this villager is too young." That seems perverted! I love the babysitting idea too!

I'd also like to see a father(s) stop what they are doing every once in awhile during the 2 years and show looking at baby. Checking on mother and child or something. He can go eat or get a drink, he can swing by!

oh, it would be nice if you could look inside the huts and decorate the inside, EXCEPT FOR THE "LOVE SHACK"

and there should be weather changes, like storms, snow, windy days, natural disasters, etc.

Assign teenagers to babysit the babies.

The ability to build decorations: IE tapesties, rugs, etc.

The option to build a privy!

Oh and basketweaving.

Maybe, when the child was 9-10 years old, if the child was male, he would go with his father and the father could teach his son about what he (the father) does. If the child was female, she would go with her mother and the mother would teach her daughter about what she does. Sort of a "Take Your Kid To Work" Day.

See my wish list for things for kids to do....don't think this would spoil anything!!! Like your ideas very much. The game is fun fun fun but think the players wishes can make it even better!!!

The kids should be able to pick the herbs for the stew. Not set it up or get the water or food, just pick the herbs. Maybe set up a storage area for herbs and let them pick and store them.
