[SPOILER] Lost Child
|
Anonymous

Hi,
I have all but the last two puzzles solved, all of the research done, and population of 75. It came up with the pop-up that a golden child was born, but I can't find him. Will I be able to still finish the game with out him? I don't know what happened to him. He just vanished.
Mike

Please scroll through your villagers' detail screens and see if there's a 5-year-old that seems unusual. If you don't find one, please post back here.

I am also experiencing this issue. After I dismissed the dialog about the golden child, all my villagers started worshipping. I was able to view the child's details (all stats at max, 5 years old).
EDIT: After looking at another thread, it's important to note that I DID drag the golden child to the boulder. This caused him to disappear.
I've looked through all of my villagers' detail screens, and he is not there.
For reference, I have 10 of the 12 puzzles solved, and I'm playing on a Treo 650.

Well, it seems that the Golden Child is disappearing (sometimes, rarely) when being dragged to the idol or the boulder. Has anyone lost the Golden Child under different circumstances?

You won't be able to complete all of the puzzles without the Golden Child! Sorry . . .  I'm sure Arthur will be working on this bug!

I have the golden child, but is he supposed to walk stay on water, because if I put her in water, it just stays there.

Yes, this is no ordinary child!  She won't stay there forever, though. She'll get bored and go chase butterflies or something.

I had a very similar thing happen during the beta test, but my builder didn't disappear (she just got stuck on the scaffold and showed 'held' forever - even though I wasn't 'holding' her). I wonder if they're related.

I had a builder disapear. I dragged her to the top of the stone. She showed "held" until I selected another villager. Now she is gone. I have level 2 medicine, level 2 Fertility and level 2 science. Other three are level 3.
I also think I dismissed the Golden child box and I didn't even click the "ok".I clicked somewhere on the screen. It happened so fast I couldn't read it. Then got a notice I had reached another milestone of population.

Do you know when the GC shows up? I'm at 65 pop (max) and It's been at least a full day real time. And then, when she does show up, should I not touch her so she doesn't "vanish"? Will she do what she is supposed to do without me dragging her around?

I was Anonymous in an earlier post. I lost my viliager when trying to have her join in carving the rock. They'd already done the ruins. From what I'm reading I don't have the GC. I'm not sure what else I can add.

Arthur is working on that bug. If anyone loses a villager anywhere besides the rock/idol or the boulder, please report that! There have also been reports of vanishing villagers in other circumstances (for example, interrupting burials and breeding). More information on those incidents would be helpful, too.

Tigger, your villagers are still breeding, right?

Regarding 'lost villagers', are they vanishing righit at the moment when they are released from your grasp? They just vanish?
And is their disappearance reflected correctly in the population count? That is, they are really gone and not just invisible?

Arthur, the reports I've been seeing have indicated that the vanished villager's details screen is gone - that's not consistent with them being invisible (and you know that I've "seen" plenty of invisible villagers!). Also, people are saying that the population count in the overview map is not right after the villager 'leaves.'

My Village has a law where women are allowed to leave their babies outside of the police station or fire station of neighboring villages. When I notice that a child is gone, I question the mother and usually she confesses to having done this. We find this policy beneficial to child health though it seems superficially contrary to our other "No Child Left Behind"-related policies. While this is normally successful, we have found instances where mothers apparently pack their children in barrels and abandon them to the sea. The proper authorities are investigating.

It happened again! It says I have the Golden Child, but it's not there. This is the third time. Would it do any good to download the game again, and how would I go about doing that?

You can just download the trial off the LDW web site and use your registration code with it. If you decide to reinstall the game, though, please make sure that you completely uninstall the old game with the standard Palm delete function before you install it again.
You shouldn't be having the Golden Child disappearing as soon as it's born. Could you please post more details about your problem? What device are you using? How much memory (and how much is free)?

The Golden Child is a 5-year-old (male or female) who wears a cape and is maxed out on all the skills. That's what you're looking for. The villagers are looking toward the idol, not the GC.

Please do that!  I've never had a villager disappear, and neither has Arthur, so these reports are helpful!

Nope...No GC. I downloaded the game again and have started over. I'll let you know if this helps.
It worked! I have the GC and the 11th puzzle solved. I think I know how to solve the last puzzle (Easter Egg) I just hope I have the right Master to do it.

Alright - it's been 3 days I've been waiting for the GC - what gives?! Anyone else had to wait that long? I have had oldies dying and newbies being born - the cycle of life has been continuing - so now I'm worried!! That and I'm getting antsy to start over so I can work towards getting the 12th puzzle
Hi-

Yeah it's been 3 human days - on normal speed. I think if he doesn't show up today I'll be starting over. I miss HAVING to take care of my village during the day! With so many people and only needing to gather food and heal (and the occasional breeding!) right now I feel like an empty nest parent! Hehehe. Plus this week at work has been hectic and having the distraction during break times would be nice!
I'll let ya' know if he shows up today!

My first go around (not counting the tutorial game) I waited maybe a day. Like so many the first time around, I did not have a villager trained in the way to solve #12. So after waiting a day, and hearing how long some waited for this little dude, I decided to just start over.
The third time around, it happened like clockwork. I finished the hut; bolder, completed #12 then just started breeding like crazy. I think my pop was around 38 when I started going for the GC, so I just took every female and told her to let her hair down and make some babies. After about 9 or 10 bleedings, boom there he was. And it took not time (30 mins or so) for her to do her magic.

Yesterday, I lost several villagers; one I dropped onto the beach, and he vanished before my eyes; 2 others disappeared when I dragged them to the berry bush; and one other, when I dragged him to the cactus. I'm pretty far along (just got my golden child a couple minutes ago). So I am just being very careful where I drag them; seems not to happen if I drop them near but not onto the bush, cactus, etc.

This bug is being worked on by the development team and will be fixed in the upcoming release of an update to Village Sim. It seems to happen after there has been a death/burial. A possible workaround is to leave the game after villagers are buried and launch it again. That seems to resolve (at least temporarily, until there are more burials) the situation that causes vanishing villagers, graphic anomalies, etc.

It happened to me too when I start over the game.
I see the pop-up about the GC but I can't find the GC(I went to the detail and I found a 5 years old with all the skill MAX)But I cant see him.When I click done it pointed the sea.
I'm using WinXP Home with 18GB free space.
