No. You don't need VV1 (by VV1 we mean VV:A New Home). I think you got confused as to VV2 version 1.00. What you need to make sure you do is after you pause the game, click on the play button to show your village. It sounds like the pause did not take effect before you closed the game. But if the words Paused is on the bottom of the village, you should be ok to close it out. FT has the same issue, but I did not know VV:TLC had it. But it sounds like it does.
