For the record - and these have already been mentioned but I'd like to add weight to their arguements - I'd like to see:

- Most importantly - and a health and safety issue - be able to use keyboard arrow keys to move around the playing area rather than having to use the mouse to pick and drag the screen. I am a laptop user with carpel tunnel syndrome and playing this game makes me so sore that I have to stop playing. the numbered keys are great but they do miss out sections so you still have to use the mouse.
- In the details section lines on the skill bars so you know how much further they need to go to progress to adapt and then master. Also have the arrow keys closer to the tick boxes.
- Larger play area (no not for kids - for me!)
- Separate section for kids where they mostly play, as when they gather to start playing tag then they get muddled up with the adults building stuff
- Would love something like the school drum from VV1 as its a great way to gather the kids (so you can find one) and grab one to shove at the collectable you just found before it disappears
- Weather would be great
- How do you know when it is night or day? Can it go a bit dark and everyone slow down at night or maybe just ignore night but have a counter of some kind to say how many hours of that day left? Would be helpful with tasks such as the gong that only works once a day - at the mo I have no clue as to how long to wait until it can be used again
- Not too fussed about a family tree as when they are a kid you can add a surname yourself to keep track of parentage
- PLEASE keep the stew and collectibles ideas as they are fab. I found myself time travelling on VV1 (norty I know - baaad cleeby) but haven't even thought about it for VV2. I play it like a game rather than a pop in and see, so like to keep my interest maintained. brilliant ideas!
- Kids to automatically find mushrooms / duplicated collections once you have shown them a couple of times, a bit like adults learning.
- The 'Detail' button to be with the other game play buttons, so you can click down them one at a time to check up on progress of different aspects of the game. Drives me mad being somewhere else, I keep having to look for it or missing it out completely if I'm in a bit of a hurry!
- Having said that have the 'Menu' button separate to the other buttons as it's not related specifically to actions of the tribe, does that make sense?
- Master teacher is a great idea and so is going to school, we had to why shouldn't they?
- More events pleeeeeeeeeeeease!
- What about crime? They are all too sweet and sociable, how about mixing it up a little and having them commit crimes? Nothing too bad obviously but just norty things kids get up to and an adult gains in parenting when they discipline them.
- Different skin tones would be great too.
- I like the idea of nursing mums to be able to do light duties like sewing when there is a sewing hut or teaching or telling stories or basic first aid

Well that's all I can think of for now.
