i was reading back posts about rare children and would like to try to create them. After searching the forum, I have been unable to find out how to find the saved files for VF1/VF2 and how to access them. My os is Windows 7. Has the ability to create the rare child been removed or can you help me find out how to do this? Thank you for your efforts in doing this. Any help will be appreciated.

Not 100% sure on how to create rare children, but I believe the save files are located in My Documents > LDW > GAME(vf2, vf1, etc) smile

Thank you so much for the speedy response! I have found the files but i cant access them. I do not get a command to be able to make a back up and i am not sure how i would do that with the .ldw extensions. I was very fortunate to get the couple i need to make the rare child so i will see how it plays out. Thank you again! I love this game! laugh

I have played the couple i needed to have to get the rare child, but i do not know how to back up the .ldw extension file so that i can make numerous tries to get the right child. I am beginning to wish they never posted anything about the rare child. If you need to have extra programs to accomplish getting the rare child, they should have told us. Very frustrating.

Lyssaria mentions how to do this casually in this post.

However, it should be noted that there is no specific "command" to backup the files, and you should definitely not open them, as that does have a chance to corrupt the files, which will make them unplayable.

To backup your savegame files, simply follow the more precise directions available here. There are no extra programs needed, but we do recommend you be familiar with copying files before attempting these procedures.

I hope this helps! smile
