I only found VV1 about 5 days ago but I'm already more hooked on it than I ever was with The Sims. Of course I guess I'm being too controlling right now as I pause my games when ever I leave the computer (I haven't even gotten to a poplation of 30 yet.) I live in Jamestown, RI and my only children are my four ferrets, so that leaves me plenty of time to play this game. I've never really posted or chatted much on forums, but I hope this will be fun. Drop me a line anytime.
