Wow ... that's a lot of interesting ideas, however most of them would not be practical (in my opinion). This is supposed to be a simple game, if we start adding all kinds of technical advancements to the game play experience than we lose that simplicity.

I agree

yep thats also true and when all this will go in the game i think it will be to easy to play till you finshed

In case you don't like that idea, here's an idea that I posted a while ago. After 9 months (in VV time) the nursing mothers would get the capability. That also makes sense because my brother and I are less than 2 years apart. And on the detail screen, there could be multiple spots for nursing time.

It would be nice with the collectables if there was some kind of warning about them or the children could collect them themselves I have alot of things to do so can't stay & play VV2 all day as much as I'd like to this means I must miss out seeing alot of the collectables.
I also agree about maybe having a school or daycare for the children and also letting fathers do more of the childcare or giving nursing mothers the parenting skill alot faster (I'm a mum of 4 I know how much effort time etc you really put in)

I have not read all the previous thoughts so forgive me if this is a repeat.

It would be very helpful if I could gather and move groups of people. I would also like to be able to gather villagers based on their "occupation." For example when the crops are ready to be harvested (click a button, give a command, insert appropriate verb here) to gather all the villagers I have told to be farmers and place them on the crop. OR I would like to be able to click and gather groups of villagers so I can reassign them to new jobs and change their clothes (each occupation has their own "uniform").
Thank you for the opportunity to share.

What about a small shop where maybe things could be traded(this has probably been suggested I bet)

Not yet, but that is kinda like spending the tech pts. on the tech screen.

Would it be possible to have levels of herb gathering? Like when someone gets to a higher level, other herbs appear and they can make more complicated stews with different results? And when they make "stew" they add the veggies and the protein (fish or whatever) separately? That could change the property of the stews, too.

Sorry, I made a typing error. It should say "get the capability to have another baby." Sorry!
