I know...and I know that it is just a game....I just don't like it

LOL, NOW you tell me

ok, now i know i'm not the only one dreaming about this silly game. i feel so much better. but. have you ever gotten up to make sure a weakened one is ok?? (vv1, no stews for recoverery) or to make sure the one and only healer is studying the plants, not off playing golf. and what is with the builders. are they cloned from real contractors? they work five minutes and take the rest of the week off. geeesh!! LOL.

I agree!!!
I put two really good-looking "people" together...he had dark brown hair in short dreds and she had long auburn hair...I thought they might make the most beautiful child and their kid ended up being bald with a painted face and UGLY! (if anyone's kid actually looks like that, I apologize, I'm sure he's got a great personality...).
What a disappointment! But he liked running and learning...so I let him stick around-I just made sure he didn't breed. And I never put those two together again for fear of what would come next.

I really couldn't care less what my villagers look like. They're all cool in their own way. I've also stopped caring whether parents and siblings go with each other because I have 90 villagers in both my tribes. Kinda hard to keep track.

I have one tribe going right now, that after I introduced the first couples and let them be, all subsequent babies (and there have been 68 now) all the couple have stayed together and no blood lines have been crossed while I wasn't looking, no adulterers. And that's with no coaching from me, I just check up on them.

So, not every game winds up with incest or adultry.

I'm so proud of them!!! My little kids!!!!

I try to name the children with combination names of the mothers and fathers. The trouble is that when there are so many that look alike except for clothes (and with twins and triplets that gets to be a pain), it's really difficult to out-cross. And sometimes they get away from me...suddenly the number changes, and I didn't mate anyone! Arrgh! And in VV 2, training up Master Doctors is a true time consumer. In VV 1, there is the medicinal cactus, and all your good little Adepts will train up there pretty much by themselves. MJ, I probably need your Matchmaking services! But what happens, if you get these randoms, as I do? (The mother never drops the baby, hopefully.) And, by the time I see who it was, the child is 2!

oh god i know what you mean.. yesterday i accidentally breed two folks when taking them off a chore
then i every time for the next hour that i stepped away from the computer i ended up with another pregnant woman! and no one was on parenting!!

i started with 20 (i did the accidental 21) then i come back and i've got 26 now... annoying.. only good thing was at least twice the same two folks went together lol!

Once you teach a villager how to do something, they will occasionally do that activity, even if you don't have it set as their preferred skill (just like real people).
