Should i start over? how do I make a backup without hacking?

You seem to have progressed very far into the game, so you should be able to heal sick villagers. Your old ones will die, but that's to be expected. You shouldn't have to start over, just find the reason that your villagers are not doing well and focus on correcting that.

If you want to back up your game, just pause it, perform a HotSync, and copy the game out of your Palm backup folder to some safe folder on your PC. If you don't know how to do that, send me a private message and I'll walk you through it.

OK. the problem is my sick villagers are so weak and it's hard to find enough doctrs . I could use one to heal them one at a time . It's hard to grab sombody I find in details because ther're ussaly in the crowd of villagers beiuring people.
Where do I find the file I need to move? About the private messaging, I'm not redgesterd!!!

Any villager can heal someone. They might take a little longer than trained doctors, but they can still do it. Also, you can't heal someone who doesn't show "Sick" in their status, no matter how weak they are.

After you pause your game, HotSync, then go into the 'backup' folder for Palm desktop (usually \program files\palm (or palmone)\username\backup) and copy the file 'VillageSavegame.pdb' to somewhere safe on your PC.

OK I'll try it.

There's also the Village Sim Toolkit that someone here came up with. Just do a search.
