I just registered today. I've only played the demo version but will buy the game soon. I've just spend hours going through the forums about VV and sometimes laughed until I cried. I just can't wait until I start the game! Something kinda weird, when I saw this game it reminded me of when I was a kid and had a doll house and I always wanted to actually see them going about their daily business. I can't believe that my dreams have come true in VV (I'm now 57)! This has to be one of the greatest games ever. I'm going to play VV1 and VV2 and whatever comes next. One other thing. It is really nice to see the designers of the game answer questions on the forums. A nice personal touch and probably why this is such a great game! Once I get started I'll let you know how I'm progressing. But I have the advantage of reading the "guide" first

Welcome to the forums!! We are all very helpful, and if you need any help, just ask!!!

It will be awhile before you'll see VV3. There's a discussion about it here.

welcome to the forums

Welcome cb. 57? Wow, a real live Esteemed Elder! ;-)

welcome I am 46 years old and also enjoy the game. I never thought of it like a doll house and the people - What an interesting concept. Since my kids are grown - it gives me something to do with my oldest grandchild who is only 3 years old.

Thanks and in real life too

I got my game today and what I expected to happen from the demo until I bought the game is that they all had died. But I started over using the Monks guide and I feel comfortable leaving them alone tonight. I've been running it at 2X but will change that before I turn off the computer tonight. I have one villager who's is the only farmer I have and she works all the time either farming or researching on her own ( she was a gather, then researcher and now a farmer). My question: can she work too much? there's only one other villager who works almost as much as she and he's a builder. I don't want her to have any children yet. But I do have a new 2 year old and the first child is almost old enough to train. I'm thinking of training her to be a farmer and give my first farmer a rest and have a baby, if that's a rest I feel secure that they won't go hungry. How much further in the game should I be before I have another baby??

Thanks.

I guess I wished they were animated, so I wouldn't have to do everything for them. I'm loving this game!! as I feel more comfortable, I'm going to start another village on a different difficulty level, when I have a day to devote to getting them started and with enough food so I won't have to worry about them when I'm not watching.

Humph. I'm even older than that advanced age. I don't have the skills to be an Elder, though. I was useless at Science at school and the back yard is a mess; I definitely don't have green fingers. I can't see any fun in fishing, either. I'm useless at DIY and know nothing much about medicine. Finally, I've no kids or parenting skills. I'd be a pretty useless villager, all told.

That's funny! Why don't you name one of your villagers after yourself and make them an elder, for the thrill of vicarious living? (Of course, there is the sticky problem of watching 'yourself' die afterward.)

LadyCFII, where can i get emoetions from like yours?

You can buy them from http://www.smileycons.com

Thank-you i'll try out the free ones later.

Most of the free ones carry computer viruses. I know from experience.

Yes, Jazzo, most free smilies usuallycan carry viruses. But not allways.

Right then i can either try them or not what do you think?

Is that a subtle way of telling me to get a life, Barbara?

I downloaded them and it didn't have a virus.

But i can only use each smiley once right until i buy them??

Smileycons is one of the best out there, and they guarantee that there is no malware, but they aren't free. There are significant limitations in the trial version.

I thought so
