Hi Everyone,

So I have level 3 now for everything and am at my max for population. Food is at 76110 and I have a few elderly people but no one has died for a while. How do I end up with the golden baby? Should I stop running it in fast mode? Now I'm beginning to get a little bored. I only have 3 puzzles left and I am guessing the first one is the bolder and the last two will be once the bolder is gone.

I also had the game crash on me once. I have the T3 and I am not sure if it was because you can write on the screen. So I turned that off and I have not had it crash since. I have had it look weird in spots when in the map screen as the people were moving about. It was distored in sections is the best way for me to describe it. I went back into the closeups and then back to map and it didn't help clear the problem. Now everything is alright so I am not sure what I did to clear it up except possibly turn off my Palm.

Thank you for your help.

can't help with the crashing, but as for the Golden child, you just have to be patient. I just went through the same thing and it took almost 2 days for him to show up!! You have to wait until some of your villagers die off so that they can breed again. That's how you'll get your GC. The GC is actually puzzle 10.

The 'distortion' you described is a known bug and Arthur is working on it. It clears up when you leave Village Sim and launch it again, so that's how to make it go away if it happens again.

If you start experiencing crashes again, there is a lot of information in the "Crash' thread.

Tigger lady is right. I gave up waiting for the GC, cauz, I did not have the right person for the last puzzel, so I figured I might as well start over.

Did you just let the game run or did you try and get them to do stuff? I have some untrained people but they don't seem to want to learn anything.

I have no idea who the right person is for the last puzzle but I guess I will figure it out when I get there.

Youd dont need GC for last puzzle, U need GC for the puzzle were you move the rock

I didn't plan for it either, but I'm still waiting for the GC to move that stupid rock. He stands there and does his magic thing, but nothing happens. Sigh.

i cant breed because i have the max at 65. but whenever someone dies they breed another. do you know if it's the GC as soon as the baby is born or when he/she turns 2?

I asked this same question to Ladycfii- she said she was almost 100% sure it was when they conceived. I had my palm off and when I turned it on, I had the green screen saying my GC was born.

I can confirm what Ladycfii said...As soon as a couple conceives the Golden Child, you are given the green message box.

Hey all VS addicts...I finally got the GC after 201 hours...and got the boulder after 206...so I only have 1 puzzle left. It seems from reading the threads that you need to have some sort of another special person to get the final puzzle...or you'll never get it...so my question is, what is the sign that you have the person or not? I mean, how do I know if the game is over for me or not?

Thanks all! This is a great game...

Do you have "Masters" in your village in harvesting, construction, healing etc? One of these specialties enables the last puzzle to start. I didn't have who was necessary, so I restarted after the boulder.

Hi all. I went back to the game after maybe a day, just to check on them, and it took many minutes to load, then crashed with the "fatal error" and the soft rest when I tried to move somebody. So I figured that this particular game file was finished. I've managed to restart the game, and then start a brand new game. However, it's annoying that the "menu" screen doesn't come up right away, but that the "loading game" and then the current game starts, and you have to click the menu to start a new game, especially since I knew that my old game was crashing the palm. If the menu came up right away, I could have started a new game without entering the old one, and running the risk of crashing.

Oh, and somehow crashing killed the Z71's ability to hotsync too...I looked it up on Palmone.com, and found out that charging the palm while in an unstable mode can kill the hotsync, so I had to do a manual soft reset. All seems to be working okay now.

Just fyi for anyone out there.
