But I'm curious, did you villagers know how to fish? I need to keep checing my "no fishing" village since they'll eat more than the crops and berries supply (without the GC), but in all my other villages, there are plenty of "natural" farmers to keep the supplies at a healthy level.


Yes we were a little village and I think ALL of them were great fishers. Even my Master Farmer who Disliked the ocean and would run out of the water when I first dropped him in, started fishing on his own. They were all obsessed with farming/fishing so this really shocked me. Can villagers get sick when the game isn't open, because I just could not believe they all would have stopped farming but if they all got sick for some weird reason and died I could see the children eating up all the food?

I did not know that the GC did not perform when the game was closed, I still thought a bit over 400 food would be enough for 11 villagers (all children) while I was gone this afternoon, but I should not have left the game running and now I am so sad. I did not know about the no events rule without adults either so I will have to end my game and that makes me sad too. I did not want to kill my little GC even though he is a turkey.

I have never had a villager die in front of me and I always wondered how people knew how their villagers died. I will try to find the game log. I am not real computer savvy and I guess I am not very keep the villagers alive savvy either. How sad.

Thanks for the info LadyCFII and sfrose. I just did not think I would get that attached and be so devastated. I really am very sad.
