how long do the people live in the game

The oldest person I have in VV5 is 82. The oldest I have ever gotten was I think 97 in VV3.

I am talking about Virtual Families not Virtual Villagers

I'd put over/under at about 65 for me, though I don't go to great lengths to keep them alive. I usually try to have a kid when the parents are 48 or so, and usually they go off to college about the time that the parents die. I have had an 8 year old orphan, though. If you keep them well fed and healthy, giving them vitamins, fresh fruit, and organic food, you should get them well into the 70s a lot.

Despite using hand gel, fruit, organic food, vitamins, encouraging exercise, and maxing out their health meter, I have never had one live beyond 67. It may be worth noting that the one who lived that long had a child at home and died right after his son left for college. That makes me wonder if peeps live longer if they have kids at home.

Yeah the oldest I've gotten is maybe about 68. At first when you have your first generation, you don't have enough money to buy organic foods, but a few generations later, that's all I buy. I give out vitamins regularly and try to purchase them whenever they are in the store. Having them swim in the pool and having the kids play train also seem like good ways to get exercise. I don't always buy the hand gel, though because sometimes my peeps are smart and wash their hands on their own.
