In real life I have only grandsons, and I may never get a lovely little granddaughter. . . _________________________ Barbara Unicorn Last Day of Work

treefern Guru Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 885 Loc: Adelaide, Australia	Tigger, you seem to be encouraging your soiltary female correctly to produce those girls. Just try to make sure she is nursing as often as you can, and you should be fine

JustAGirl Master Registered: 04/10/05 Posts: 470 Loc: New York	I wanted to smack 'em all though because they were running around eating all the food supply and doing "nature is calling" actions and not helping and I only had like, 6 other adults - one of which was nursing ANOTHER kid. I take it back now that I think about it - the barrel had 4 kids but one of my villagers had just given birth so I had 5 kids running around. _________________________ Rebecca --*

treefern Guru Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 885 Loc: Adelaide, Australia	Listening to this convesation, I was starting to think, the village kids are actually quite well behaved. Yes, they do nothing for many years, but they also are very well potty trained, seem to take care of themselves foodwise, don't fight, entertain themselves....

JustAGirl Master Registered: 04/10/05 Posts: 470 Loc: New York	Right when my villagers ran out of berries but were tech'ed up enough to start planting is when the barrel arrived. Bad timing. So they're eating all the food and I'm like, biting my nails hoping that the farmers can grow/harvest enough to keep us in the food! They did though That was the only time I was like "darn kids!" Because they couldn't help with anything. Now they're grown up sniff - but little do they know they'll soon be making children of their own. Mwuahaha!! Yes, I agree, the kids are cute. I liked watching them run all over exploring and they make funny noises when you pick 'em up. _________________________ Rebecca --*

skw Newbie Registered: 02/03/05 Posts: 18	At least they don't get mixed up in disasters that drain resources and the adults attention. I was prepared for them to drown, get pricked by cacti, and fall off rocks. They should start contributing to the village at a younger age though. Anyone who grew up on a farm will tell you that a farm child definitely starts some form of "labor" by the time they're 10, if not earlier. _________________________ Sandra TT3

Yes, I'm glad they don't get harmed because, well, that'd be kinda mean! On top of drawing away adult resources. It would also be kind of nice to have them able to do some things at a young age - like farm/fish at age 8 or something. Maybe they could only do farm, not fish..at least it'd be something! And that is something children would do at an early age in real life. I can see them not doing breeding/construction/research...oh well. Now that I'm flush with adults the kids are okay by me! _________________________ Rebecca --*

Anonymous Unregistered	Like earlier posts I am trying desperately to get a little girl. I have two females left, one of whom has just got to be getting out of "breeding age". So far I've got 5 male children running around the screen. Both of my adult females are nursing right now, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get another girl before I run out of the ability of the adults to keep all the kids well fed.

treefern Guru Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 885 Loc: Adelaide, Australia	There is no age limit to females being able to have kids, so you have the right idea in just trying as often as you can I have been down to 1 female, and still managed to save my game, so it can be done

JustAGirl Master Registered: 04/10/05 Posts: 470 Loc: New York	My latest batch of youngins is predominantly male. I just made the 2 females breeders so that when the turn 18 they'll start leaning towards that career on their own and hopefully I'll get a bunch of females. Luckily my adult villagers have a nice mix so I'm continuing to breed two of the females as much as possible to get more girls. I'll just keep breeding and breeding and breeding. That's the ticket! _________________________ Rebecca --*

tigger4will Master Registered: 04/13/05 Posts: 666 Loc: Texas	I am actually running into the problem... (I've started a new game) that my new villagers don't want to breed! There is plenty of food, so that isn't stopping them. It keeps saying "that didn't go well". I just don't understand since I've never had any trouble getting them to breed before. I may have to start over again if no kids are born. Any suggestions?

treefern Guru Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 885 Loc: Adelaide, Australia	SOmetimes they do, and sometimes they don't. I have noticed that each group of villagers have their own personality. SOme find it easier to pick up tasks....some need a lot more encouragement. I think you have picked a pair who just don't hit it off. Try swapping partners, or pick a different pair totally.....good luck

I've had mating problems too I'll pick a pair and they'll keep running away from each other. I'll just keep grabbing the one that's running away and putting them on top of each other and eventually they go indoors. It's a love hate thing between some of them sometimes _________________________ Rebecca --*

tigger4will Master Registered: 04/13/05 Posts: 666 Loc: Texas	These particular villagers are really persnickety.... there is only one that will breed and she will only do it when the PDA is turned off. Guess she wants more privacy than I'm willing to give her. I've had them all turned to breeding as thier "job" and only one will nurse a baby. I swear the guys on my island are gay!
