I can't seem to have children. My adult villagers 'go indoors', have their fun and come out empty handed! I only have one child left and she's getting older by the minute... any hints?

Just keeping trying them, with differnt partners, oh and click Parenting as a Skill.

I only have two women and they don't seem to like any of the 4 men available! I'm doomed aren't I? I knew it!

Success!! Two babies!

Sometimes it takes a while -- keep an eye on your ladies' ages, though...they will not have babies once they turn 50, no matter how hard you try.

(There's an event that might cause an elderly parent, but that's an oddball).

I have a village where I was up to 90 people, all puzzles solved. I went away for a week, and when I came back I'm down to 18 people, no babies, and everyone is too old to have a baby. Why would this happen?

same here I had about 20 or so people and over the weekend I have 7 left and there's 2 males (33 now and 47), 2 females (53 and 55 - too old to have babies) and then there are 3 boys (now 13) I've gotten some answers, but if I don't have an event that will possible give me another female, I'll have to start another game....boo on that!

also, you don't need to actually wait till they go in and out the hut. just keep an eye on your population as you drop them on each other and when it increases you can pick up the female before she even enters the hut and you'll see that she'll have the offspring with her already...

I do think that the women have thier preferences. Because sometimes it takes a lot longer with some men than with others. I like that. It makes me feel the villagers are a lot more real than just a game.Interaction is so much more with this game. Especially when I see all the children playing tag together. It is just so cute.
