I'm not sure I could choose

The GC totally drives me nuts in VV:ANH, but I love some of the challenges, plus the art has a totally different feel to it. I really love the cactus and my pink haird girls (yes yes, we all know I'm weird). I also like that they draw the water from a well and NOT where they wash thier feet, and their babies. I love being able to call the children to school, and I think it is hilarious to watch the little buggers walk on water (although I do love being able to isolate them in VV:TLC). I like the plants/herbs better in this one too.

In VV:TLC first of all, I love that the acronym is TLC, because that is what the villagers need, especially those poor abandoned children in the beginning. I also love the mystery: where is Tofo, and where did all of the adults wander off too???? The puzzles are totally different, and the first time through it was a real challenge. I'm not as crazy about the art, partially because I miss my pink haird girls and partially because for some reason I have it stuck in my head that the beach looks like perpetual twilight. I do absolutely LOVE that the children are genetically smilar to their parents, and that it lists who the parents are. I also love that the children are able to collect more than mushrooms, and that doing so can have a real impact on the growth of the willage. I love being able to have more events because of the Gong, although I wish that the events were more like the normal ones. Also, I do like some of the new villagers hairstyles, although I am not crazy about others.

To me it is hard to choose which is better. It would be like loving one child more than another, and the villages I have are like children to me, in a way. I really do care about their health and well being. I check up on them whenever I can. When I just went out of town for a week I fretted over them a bit, even though I knew they could take care of themselves. I get upset when my little villagers pass on in both games, and my only really complaint is that after 50, we don't get tombstones or any kind of memorial.
