So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 02/25/10 01:59 AM

I saw a thread like this a while back, but it seems old and I thought we could use a fresh one! smile So what's happening in your family right now? Updates? Post 'em here! laugh

In my family, first generation, Mom Friana and Dad Kikono have six children. Saphette, my favorite and the oldest, went off to college a while ago. Loot, the second oldest and first son, also went off to college, quickly followed by Apollo, second son. Still at home are Jet, a mirror image of Apollo and who always seems to be in bed sick (he only gets up to eat, shower, and cough!) Gregino, adopted son and Jet's best friend, and Asta, who looks like Saphette but is much more shallow and vain then her sister. smile Kikono mastered his office career of an Engineer and helped me purchase a pretty kitty I named Lily Bliss, and nearly all of the home stuff! Friana is a bit gray now, but she still works in the workshop as a glue mixer from time to time.

I love the names of your children, and in my previous family, on their first generation they had twins too shocked You'll have to let me know who inherits the house! Jet just kept on getting sick, so finally I got him a doctor's consultation and apparently he was quite ill, so I splurged $75 dollars and got him the blue injectable antidote - turns out the little guy had a grave illness. Now Jet's very weak, but after some multivitamins and fruit, he's in bed resting and recovering nicely - I only let him up to get water and watch a bit of TV smile

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 02/26/10 03:34 AM

Ummm...I think Jayden Colin would be a really cute name for the boy, sticking with your current name pattern laugh and if you want, that'd be cool! smile You can really do whatever, I don't govern this thread or anything laugh

For me, Friana and Kikono are now home alone together, growing old and gray together. Kikono was a very successful Engineer, so the family has all house improvements except for the pinball machine, but no upgrades frown Plus they have a ton of collectibles because when I was racing the clock to get $500 to buy a kitty from the store before it re-stocked, I scoured the yard for ages trying to get coins to sell smile I did get the cat, named her Lily Bliss smile Plus they have nearly 50 trophies already...dunno how I did it ha ha.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 02/26/10 06:26 PM

Oh no! Why? frown But triplets are great, lucky you! So they are all boys? Umm...I think my last set of triplets was all boys, on my computer version...I named them Jay, Jethro, and Jerome :P I have no idea why, just thought it flowed.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 03/02/10 06:47 PM

Actually, I am down to just one family now. The 10 families that I had got to the 30+ generation and I couldn't do much more with them except make sure they had food available, so it got quite boring. So I relocated them all on Isola to start their own village there. Then I started a new family so I could once again collect things, earn trophies, etc. I am just starting the 4th generation with this family. Another reason I only have one family now is that I now have a VV4 tribe going and need to split my time between them and my VF family and real life (whatever that is).

I know what you mean! I gave up trying to split my gaming time between VF and VV4, though, so all five VF families are paused at the moment. I'm sure to return to them later.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 04/03/10 06:04 AM

My family had finished dinner but then Dad decided to "call children to eat" so Frankie (only child at that point) very obediently ran back to the table and ate another meal. Then a few minutes after he was done Mom called him back, so he ate yet again. His food bar was as full as it could be, as I'm sure his tummy was too. A little while later, I found him sitting on the floor complaining of an upset stomach, so I went to the store and got him some Pepto. Poor kid. Luckily, by then someone had cleared the table off so he wasn't forced to eat even more.

OMG!!! I was bored with all of my other games, so I thought I'd go and play with my fams for a bit. Now, I haven't played with them in a few months and to my surprise, I FORGOT TO PAUSE ONE OF THE GAMES!!! I couldn't believe it: 3rd generation and they have 16 mil in money, the fridge had over 4000 in food and mom and dad had topped out their careers! They're only in their mid-50s. I have no idea how old they were when I left them!

Guess I don't have to worry much about pausing the games! smile

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 04/11/10 08:26 PM

So far only 1 of the 5 game slots I'm running completed all 100 trophies. Here's a family that is now in their 28th generation and has needed an oven fire and a purple fly for many, MANY generations. Soon they will be hitting the dreaded 30th generation. Hope the fire and the fly arrive before that!

Dad Micro sent me an e-mail a few minutes ago letting me know the house is in need of repair (never saw this particular message before). Yesterday they had an earthquake (we are in California after all) and so there are 3 big holes in the floor and not a single can of floor repair has shown up in the store. Perhaps he should order some from amazon while he's online! LOL!

Very interesting! Any deaths show up in that family tree (as in children, if they had before you stopped playing)? What was their health status when you reopened the game? Once my family ran out of food because I forgot to restock the refrigerator and everyone was extremely weak after just a day. Took nearly 1-1/2 days for everyone to recover. Good thing your refrigerator was stocked up!

I'm not sure about any kids dying. I didn't look too closely at the family screen...too busy cleaning up the mess! I'll check when I'm back on my home computer. The son (18) and the mom (50 something) both were elated, while the dad was weak. He was "a little weak" this morning when I checked on him. I'm not really sure why I had so much food left in the fridge. Being on the 3rd generation, I couldn't possibley have left them with millions of food! shocked

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 04/12/10 11:46 AM

I restarted a family from scratch a few days ago. It has felt odd when switching from that family to check on the others; my new family has only a few thousand dollars (I've only paid out for food and medicine so far) but the other four all have billions! smile

I've been fairly lucky in the new family with collectibles. Already I've found all four common bugs and one uncommon bug during one rainstorm. I've got 11 coins, 8 twigs, etc, and 6 picture pieces. Household "emergencies" don't seem to be as common as I remember. I've only had the toilet blocked a couple of times and one oven fire. The birdbath and the hose have been repaired, the flowers watered, and the workroom wall repaired. I've not yet seen any floor repair kits in the store.

They've had three boys and two girls. Only one boy and one girl are left as the others have gone off to college. The parents have both reached 55 so I doubt they'll have any more babies. I keep getting emails from them wanting improvements to the house and I reckon I can now afford to start indulging them with a few goodies. laugh

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 04/12/10 07:59 PM

Hey Arnie, send your peeps over to my peeps house, we seem to have a never-ending supply of floor repair now. This morning there was a can in the store. Since my peeps still had the 3 holes in the floor from the earthquake on Saturday, I bought a can. When I placed it on the floor I noticed there was still a can left in my tool tray. So I put that one on the floor and again there was another can in the tool tray. Since I had 3 holes I put another can on the floor and lo-and-behold there is yet another available can in my tool tray! Seems they're ready for another earthquake! smile

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 04/17/10 02:21 AM

Family 1:
1st Generation
Wife: Frankie- Quiet and shy, whose greatest loves include Aaron, their three girls, and cleaning!
Husband: Aaron- Works hard and is nearly always tired because of it. Spoils his children with the extra money he earns spending long days at the kitchen counter, designing pastries!
Eldest Daughter: Atlas- Very immature for being all of 12 years old, and is often annoyed by her younger sisters, who insist on playing train every five seconds or so.
Middle Daughter: Jessica- Her first action was "Doing the dishes" and she's been incredibly helpful since!
Youngest Daughter: Java- Takes after her Dad by working hard and sleeping a lot. The dog just LOVES her, and is almost constantly at either her or Frankie's side.

Family 2:
1st Gen
Wife: Sandy- Young and childish, loves doing laundry more than life itself.
Husband: Corey- Also always tired like Aaron, and takes pretty much sole care of his kids while Sandy nurses the next one!
Eldest Son: Nicolas- Born wearing a tie, and helps out Corey around the house often.
Eldest Daughter: Freya- Since there's a pretty big age gap between Nicolas, her, and Omega, she's quite the shy loner.
Youngest Daughter: Omega- Strange, to say the least. Can most often be found poking plants or banging dishes. She refuses to do anything with her siblings, like giggle or play train.
Youngest Son: Brayden- Nerd at heart, but loves to lounge around with the cat watching what looks like the sports channel on TV.

They love to dig holes to China, maybe they're frustrated. If you select a kid and see him or her "playing on the lawn" follow them but don't disturb them, you'll be pleasently surprised and rewarded.

Kevin and Lily's only child, Leah, inherited the house after they passed away. She married a handsome man with curly black hair named Laurence. They had two daughters, Larissa and Lucy and then adopted a purple haired girl named Lavinia. Next they had a son named Lennart and then two more daughters! Louise and Lysandra.

I rolled a die to see which one would inherit and Louise was the winner. Her generation will transfer over to the M name generation. The theme I went with her generation was French names. Louise is the French feminine form of Louis, so she marries a blond haired man named Mathieu, French form of the name Matthew. Their only child is a boy named Maximilien, French form of the name Maximilian.

Max has just moved off to college, and Mathieu and Louise are enjoying having the house to themselves, though they do miss their son.

Today was the last day for my 30th generation. Saphy enjoyed her time in the swimming pool while Bingino worked out. I guess he can't workout without the family dog! LOL!

I chose Stephory to inherit the house because I have a new mission. My new goals are to reach the top of the head chart (I've already had numerous Rainbow and Spiky-Haired families), to put out an oven fire and to acquire the elusive purple fly. Since Stephory didn't get any proposals within 30 minutes I decided to install the updated version.

Stephory's first proposal came from Luna. He accepted her proposal right away and soon Zebra was born. This single birth placed me close to the top of the head chart already.

I had about three families around their 30th generation, but then I forgot about them! They all died and I have restarted, except for one: I found poor 31 year old Freckles alone, extremely weak and depressed. She is now happily married to Stephen and two children, Chris and Liliana, both redheads. At 36 she is still 'a bit weak' Freckles and her family are generation 1.

My second family is also generation 1, and a rainbowhead family. I finally found a suitable husband for Mysti, a mohawk headed guy named Arthur, but their first child isn't a rainbow, he's a rare dirty-blonde haired boy named Devin.

Lastly, my third family is generation 1, where Blondie and Andrew are happily married with 3 boys: Christopher, Frank, and Paul. Paul was adopted while Frank was still nursing.

"Os Bichinhos" family: Pretty much the same. Salome and Jet (both 54) are alone after their six daughters Agrippina, Berenice, Lucrezia, Semele, Pansy and Alma all left for college.

"Jo" family: Margaret (50) and Bard (52) are not alone at home yet, but will be as soon as Benjamin (18) goes to college.

"Fred Fredburger" family: Dragomir (27) is still unmarried and childless. Hoping for a perfect match, perhaps.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 06/05/10 09:09 AM

For my family, Maximilien married a woman named Myrtle and they had six children. The first four: Marcus, Malcolm, Miles and Matilda, and the last two, Makaio and Melanie were adopted.

Random die roll chose Marcus as the inheritor. Marcus is a name that's found in the Vulgate (Latin Bible), so that's a theme I chose for his generation. He marries Noemi and they have a son, Nathanahel.

Nathanahel marries a pretty blond haired woman named Niamh, and they have Nicholas, Nadia, Noelle, Nestor, Nerys and adopt a boy named Neil.

Currently all their children have gone to college except the youngest two, Nerys and Neil. Nerys is just a couple of years away from college, but Neil is still kind of young, so they'll have at least one kid in the house for awhile.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 06/08/10 08:28 AM

Rare heads are not specific smile What 'rare' refers to is when the parents have a child that does not fit into the normal genetic pattern.

(Example: If you have two blond parents that are close together in the heads image, and they have a child that has black hair at the very top of the head image, that child would be classified as rare.)

I hope this helps laugh

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 07/08/10 07:21 PM

yes, sorry i didnt get back to you. look for misskathy's mod because that is the one i used. It is called bayoublonde or something like that. its a tropical house!! smile

but.... news! My older couple had a beautiful baby girl named Lola. And no! I didn't rename her. It was lucky i guess.

Oh no! The parents died together. So sad yet so soft... and so lovely. I also thought I'd share this funny screenshot with you, too.
Okay. So while ive been away at camp.. half of one family DIED. Five children. TWo parents. Both parents died and two twin girls... what have i noticed? twins or triplets (multiples) are more likely to die. Is this true or just in my game and its coincidental.

Not much is happening with my little family.I am on my second generation, FINALLY!! After my Coin Family this one is just normal names. From my first generation, my first peep's hubby died and three of five children died, including the one that I was planning to have inherit the house. :'( So now, Francozo, is living in the house with a daughter and a wife. Oh! And the cat, Missy!

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 07/13/10 11:08 PM

I just started my family a few days ago. I adopted Frana (27) and she married Bit (29.) I waited until they were slightly more established in their thirties to have children. They now have three sons. Astro, Loot, and Archie who is two. Did your Loot love drawing on walls? Mine does. smile

I wanted six kids in this generation but both parents are in their forties and it takes awhile so maybe next one. They apparently made 1,000 but I have about half that now. Medicine, books, and food really add up. Ha, I'm definitely looking forward to being rich.

My first family is in their 5th generation, and Trishiana is 69, and Burulo is 67, their 4 children having gone off to college.

My second family is in their first generation. Sophola is 63, and Crisone is 61. Their 3 biological children have gone off to college, but they adopted a 10 year old son named Boolo.

My third family is also in their first generation. Ron is 47, and Hermione is 46. Rose and Molly (who was adopted) are both 17, Bill is 13, and Charlie is 8.

Hi!
So, I'm Ashley, new.
Sorry for just jumping in, but, I figured I'd reply to your topic/subject thing.
I've been playing VF since it came out, but, I finally broke and bought it. SO, now, I have a woman named Kimmi (I changed her name, but, I can't remember what I changed it from) and a man named Jasper (Which, is lucky, because, I am incredibly in love with my name; the game gave it to me). She's about two years older than him, and, even though it's two years in the marriage they've just had their second child.
Stephen, originally Phantom, the boy, is the oldest; Two. They just had Portal, and, I'm thinking about renaming her Naomi, because, I really don't like that name for her.
Well... Other than having some glitch that caused me to get way more points that I was supposed to have, nothing much is happening! In fact, I was just on my way to visit them. I have a sort of obsession to the game, so...

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 07/29/10 04:47 AM

I've been playing VF for a while, and had been working on getting either a Rainbow-Hair or Blue-Hair family. Getting them the right husbands was taking forever, naturally. Then, just recently my comp crashed, and I had to reinstall everything, so I lost all my progress.

But then, guess who I got on my first game? A Blue-Hair. XD And if that wasn't great enough, the very first proposal she got was from the guy I'd been trying for for so long on the other game! XD Then, their first 2 kids were a Spike-Hair and a Blue-Hair!

So, I guess computer crashes aren't all that bad after all. smile Now if only these two would give me twins or triplets.....

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 08/04/10 05:57 AM

Hi, everyone. I'm new here, nice to meet you guys.
I saw this thread as I was exploring the forum, so I thought I'd share something.
I'm now on my 2nd generation. My very first adoptee was named Midori, a translator. She married with Minoru, a man who was 3 years younger than her, and a chewing gum designer. They have 4 children: Mamoru, Yuuki, Miiko and Yuuichi(all natural). Mamoru and Miiko look exactly like their mom and dad. But Yuuki and Yuuchi (they're both boys) don't look that much like their parents, but they look alike. They're good boys and girl, and all have good jobs.
Both Midori and Minoru mastered their jobs in their early sixties. and And they passed away in their late sixties. And then Miiko, the third child and the only girl in the children, took over the house. She was 24 when that happen, and she becomes a tool maker. She then married to a man named Tappei, a fairy tale writer, 26 years old. They now have 2 children, Kaoru (6 years old) and Aoi (still a baby). Both are beautiful and cute girls like their mom.
Well, that's all for today. I'll get you guys any news when I have time.

Hobo is waiting for his perfect match. He adopted Freese when she was 3 years old. She is now 5. I sure hope his parenting skills improve because he made a meal and sat down and ate it without ever calling Freese to come and eat. If I hadn't brought her to the table to eat her father just may have cleared everything away before she had a chance to eat!

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 09/06/10 04:19 AM

Lilia and Jordan got married then they found Lucy at the front door.(Her name was Buchetta!) Then they had Rosesse. Named her Ella.Then Lilette,Annika then Lucia. It's quite awkward because Lilia and Jordan are brunette, Lucy (adopted) is blond. Ella,Lilette and Annika are all reddish-brown heads. Then Lucia, who is Jordan and Lilia's biological kid, Is a splitting image of Lucy with blond hair!
Does that mean Lucia(Going to be Quinn) is rare?

Liam Iean Vije - 26
Marcono Vije (Soon to be renamed Christopeh Jasper Vije) - 1

Next it is the Saphona family:

Seraphina Lucetta Saphona (Originally named Lucetta) - 25

And, she's not married.

River (adopted)
Dakota
Cody
Abbie
All boys except for Abbie!
Then Lilette died and Abbie took over.
Abbie married Charlie and just had twin girls! I think they're Emma and Fretta! I will probably be changing Fretta. Not sure about Emma!
I got twins by,
When they were on the bed and started kissing, I repeatedly hit the spacebar about 4 times.(Pause. Un-pause. Pause.Un-pause)

Java is 61 and her hubby Piero is 60. They have 6 kids, the last of which just went off to college without cleaning up around the house first! I really LOVE the way Java didn't lose her red hair! It's not as bright as when she was younger but it's not grey! Piero looks like a crazed professor with his wild hair! He's actually he's a Vitamin Inventor.

My favorite look is one of my families where the grandfather, the twin sons, and the grandson all looked exactly the same. grin

I always like to adopt a girl with brown hair to start with, but preferences for husband doesn't matter, and kids looks don't really matter either to me.

Once my families have all of the trophies in the "Marriage" section I like to set a goal for myself. One was to have an entire family of Spikey's and Rainbows. Having met that goal and carrying it on for several generations I decided to try getting a family from the other end of the Head Chart. Of course I do this by not accepting the first marriage proposal that comes along. I do not start my game over.

My first family just had their third baby. grin

Brina
Age - 35
Profession - Engineer
Likes - Makeup
Wants kids? - Definitely
Other - Great Aunt Nellie*

Francozo
Age - 35
Profession - Dental Tool Maker
Likes - Insects
Wants kids? - Not really
Other - Aunt Millie*

Akie
Age - 7
Likes - TV, birds
Other - Great Aunt Millie*, Great-Great Aunt Nellie*

Boots
Age - 2
Likes - Flies
Other - Great Aunt Millie*, Great-Great Aunt Nellie*

Pan
Age - Newborn
Likes - The dark
Other - Great Aunt Millie*, Great-Great Aunt Nellie*

Brina was my initial adoptee and Francozo was her first marriage proposal. Akie was their first daughter, followed by Boots. Brina has purple dyed hair and Francozo is a blonde, but both Akie and Boots turned out redheads (Boots has darker hair, while Akie's is more orangey) and the latest addition is Pan, who is the first brunette. I can't tell from the family picture if Pan is a boy or girl yet.

Both Francozo'a Aunt Millie and Brina's Great Aunt Nellie aren't characters I adopted, but they sent birthday e-mails with gift cards.

I'm hoping to at least get six kids out of Brina and Francozo, but it takes a little longer after each baby to get another one.

Maria was 42 and childless so I decided to marry her off to the next gentleman caller who proposed. Marcozo was the lucky guy and I had them start a family right away. I barely got them to squeeze in child #5 before Maria turned 50, she was 49. Here is Maria and Marcozo with their children:
Maria is 55
Marcozo is 56
Bengone is 13
Cooper is 11
Montana is 9
Comet is 7
Friday is 6
She gave birth to all of them.

I have two families now. The original started with one female who adopted a girl at the age of 3. She is now in college and the woman married her first husband at the age of 51. They are both between 56 and 58.

The second family married young and got pregnant fairly quickly. They had triplets, all girls who are now six years old.

Maria passed on this evening at the age of 61. Marcozo is 62 and is raising their 4 children who are still at home. Bengone went off to college before his mother passed. Cooper will be following in his brothers footsteps very soon.

I had something funny happen in my family today. They have two kids, a biological daughter, age 12, and an adopted son, age 11. I wanted the parents to have another baby so there will still be a child in the house when the older two leave for college. Immediately after their new baby son was born and the family members were still celebrating, the mother ran into the bathroom and jumped on the scale to check her weight! I guess she was concerned about losing those extra pounds from her pregnancy! laugh

That's because both parents are equal on the "heads chart". They may also have children slightly above or below their place on the chart. Then there is the "rare" child, one who is not close to the parents on the head chart.

Here's a piece of the head chart showing your parents:

Not impressed, you say? You say you've beaten that with practically every generation you've had? Well, fair enough, but mine did it without upgrading his kitchen! Hah! Impressed yet? Not really?

Well, there's something else I should probably tell you:




Dislikes running! His wife beat him to master by about 6 years while having to stop career development for a rugrat, but he did what I just assumed was impossible.

My family has four people. Their names are cocoa,kikono,marania and trishia. Marania was an orphan and just came knocking on my door. I felt bad because of this so i took her in. She is really nice and she is the oldest. She wants a lot of siblings to play with but so far she only has one little sister named trishia. Trishia is a new little two year old girl. Marania and trishia are angels. Trishia helps a lot like she takes out the trash and picks up weeds from time to time. Rite now we don't have enough money to get the kids any pets or games to play with in the house. They will just have to find way to play with each other. There will be more to come but for now. Caio for now, iyaluv34 grin

I'm on my second generation... Had 4 gens on my other laptop, but it crash and I had to start over on my new laptop >_<

So I have 3 families on this one, all second gen. Family number one had triplets! I've never gotten triplets before, all blonde girls. They also had a redhead who looks just like her mom, and they just had a boy. I've never had a family with six children, so once the youngest is about 4 I'm going to try for a sixth child.

In my second family, I'm just a bit frustrated, Mom was repairing the workshop wall. She had a long ways to go, and the compound vanished.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 02/04/11 02:23 AM

That is a touching email. I haven't seen that in my game, although in my 2nd generation, there was a daily email from one of the kids who moved out. Ian & Molly had 3 biological kids, and then adopted Daniel when they were in their late 40s. Since Ian was 2 years older than Molly, I used vitamins, fruit and hand gel on him, figuring she would be safe for awhile. Those things were rarely in the store, so I didn't have enough for them both. My plan backfired, and Molly died at age 60. The three older kids were gone, but Daniel was only 15. My goal then became keeping Ian alive until Daniel was grown and left for college. I was successful. The father & son lived happily together until Daniel left. Although there is no way to prove it in the game, you had to think that maybe Ian was closer to Daniel than to the other 3 because they got through the hard times after Molly's death together and lived alone with each other for 4 "years."

When I opened the game today, there was an email waiting for Ian. Usually the first email of the day was from one of the kids. We have been hearing a lot from the older son lately, so I thought it might be from him, but today's email was from Daniel, who had just left yesterday. It wasn't anything sentimental--in fact, he asked for money! It just made me think once more that he was the child who had the closest bond with his father.

About an hour later, Ian passed away at the age of 68. I now have the tough decision about which kid should inherit the house. It is funny looking at the jobs the kids have. The ones who liked to hang around the kitchen doing dishes and playing cook have kitchen careers. The note that I made about Daniel as a teen says, "Studious computer nerd." He grew up to be a statistician! Did I call that right, or what?!

Hey everyone I am new here but here is what is going on in my virtual family:
I have 5 different families
FAMILY 1: mom-Rose (57) dad-Luke (54) and they have one adopted son Edward who is away at college, no e-mails from him yet. Rose and luke tried many times to have a child of their own but even with the baby boost shots they were unable to have a child. Luke I dont think will make it much longer he is getting weak and not too sure why.

FAMILY 2: mom-Amy (51) Dad-Leo (53) they have two sons Marc who is in college and Leo Jr(8)

FAMILY 3: mom-Bree (45) dad -AJ (46) and they have three wonderful children Mysti who is in college, Pauli their son is 16, and they just welcomed another little girl Bella into the family!

FAMILY 4: mom-Ashley (41) dad-Mike (41) and they have two handsome sons Jimmy who is in college and Zach who is 16.

Family 5: dad-Ben (27) Ben is my newest member to my gang he has yet to find that perfect woman and have kids, i am so excited to see how he will do.

these are my families and what is sort of going on in their worlds... i cant wait to hear about yours!

well another update: Rose passed away on 2/4/11 at 9:40 pm and now Luke has passed away on 2/5/11 at 12:40 am only 3 hours after his beloved wife rose... Edward has now officially inherited the house, as he is the only child... I knew earlier this evening when I updated to say that Rose... my first adoptee... had passed i knew it would only be a matter of time before Luke would fallow.

But on the bright side... Mike finally got married to a wonderful lady Maria and they have a son Boots ( whom I am going to re name Bo)... they are doing great!

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 03/27/11 06:20 AM

It is funny how different families have different personalities. The one I am playing right now is different from any of my others. They are 4th generation. Kara inherited the house and married Moss. As soon as he finished celebrating the wedding, he immediately began working on his carreer without me telling him to. He hit level 8 by age 41. Kara did it by 46, but she does a lot of housework, too. Her profile states that she most likes laundry! They have a son & 2 daughters, and the whole family is either working on careers or homework, doing housework chores, or exercising. There is very little TV watching, and I don't think any member of this family has ever relaxed in the hammock, which my other peeps all did. They basically don't relax. They are a family of type A workaholics, and I didn't make them that way.

This is Bretta's last night at home with her last 2 children. They will be off to college first thing tomorrow morning. At age 55 she is still waiting for her "Perfect Match". He will be a Soup Inventor if he comes along before she passes. Bretta has 5 adopted children. Hobbit and Jet were her last 2 and they came one immediately after the other, literally. I accepted Hobbit when he knocked on the door and then there was another knock at the door a split second after accepting Hobbit! That had never happened to me before! Pretty awesome!

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 04/20/11 05:54 AM

As expected, first thing this morning when I opened my game both Hobbit and Jet went off to college. Of course there was an e-mail waiting for Bretta. When she opened it, guess what? It was her PERFECT MATCH! Of course she married Akur, both at the age of 57. They had 4 great years together, 3 of which they shared while I was at work. Then at the age of 61, Akur sadly passed away. Bretta was depressed for a few minutes and then was only a bit blue. She's now 62 years old.

Here are a few photos of their short time together:

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 04/25/11 06:31 PM

My family started with a bachelorette by the name is Lucania. She was 33 and single. She didn't mind though, to her it was worth it to wait for her perfect match, although she was admittedly a bit lonely. 2 years after moving into her new home she heard a tiny knock at the door and to her surprise found a child! She couldn't just turn the child away, she herself knew what it felt like to be an orphan, so she adopted him and just like that she had little Fargory to keep her company.
Everything seemed like it was looking up, but as with all stories, the plot thickens. Her job didn't pay much, and she only had 30 dollars to her name. That was when Tu came into the picture. He was far from her perfect match but he was handsome, and he had money. They married almost immediately after Fargory's adoption and though Tu hadn't really wanted children, he was a great father and husband, taking on his new role excitedly, but also with a sense of great responsiblity.
It wasnt long before Lucania and Tu decided to have another child, another boy by the name of Buretto, Fargory couldn't have been more excited. He and his brother played for hours on end. Lucania loved her boys, but she had always wanted a girl, so she and Tu tried for one more baby, and that was when little Karma came in the picture. She was the spitting image of her mother, a real beauty. So beautiful, that at the she of 5 a talent about spotted her playing out front and offered up 500 dollars to take her around the world to be in movies. Of course her parents denied and chased the man away.
The family was the happiest little family you've ever seen. Buretto could always be found in the workshop with dad, while Fargory spent all his time in the kitchen with mom. Karma enjoyed playing office while either parent was browsing the web or reading their email.
Soon Fargory was off to college, follwed by Buretto, and it wasnt long before little Karma left a well.
While they were proud of their children, it was hard to watch them leave, especially on Lucania. At the age of 65 she fell ill, she didn't last long after that. Tu decided not to stay in the house after that. He let the children decide who would take the house, and as always, looking out for their little sister, the decision was made to leave it to Karma.
She had just moved back into her childhood home, and is ready to start a family of her own.

I decided clean out my old saveGame files but checked the families first to see who they were. One was last opened on June 9, 2010. I thought I might be greeted with peeps laying on the bed waving goodbye to me when I opened the game but that was not the case. Mom and dad were in their mid-50's and their sons Loot and Ice were 16 and 13. Both boys were sick and needed antihistamine, after which their status said 'a bit weak'. So I split the fruit, vitamins and antibacterial gel between them and then they were both peachy. While mom went to the kitchen to make something for the family to eat (there was still 1200 food in the refrigerator), dad sent me the e-mail below! LOL!

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 06/05/11 02:46 AM

I routinely made copies of the saveGame files at different points in the game in case something happened. Usually I remember to 'pause' the game before making my copy. Looks like I forgot. Oops. After comparing that family to the current family, THAT family was 4 generations ago so after I got them all fed and happy, I deleted the file. grin One might ask why I bothered to feed them at all if I was just going to delete them anyways. The reason is simple... I thought the e-mail dad sent me was hilarious so I had to act on it! LOL! laugh

Ha! Ha! laugh It's like this:

Virtual Family: Yay!!!!!
After Meal...
Guiding hand: Right guys, now your tummies are full, you're moving out! Bye!
Virtual Family: But we were gonna watch TV!
Guiding Hand: No excuses! Goodbye!

Of course I'm sure you didn't say it like that! laugh smile laugh smile I'm a huge exaggerator sometimes! Of course I understand why you had to act on that email!
Oh, what's a saveGame file? Is it like saving something on the hard drive? (I'm a Mac user so I don't know about Windows backups and I've never backed-up a game before)

Mac users also have savegame files (think of them as your families - preserving them). You can find out more about backing them up here. smile

My 14 year old kid was just banging dishes in a kitchen with a smoking oven. grin

I'm on my first generation with this family right now, and Pop is spoiled to death and is certaintly going to inherit the house. The parents are Saphella and Bengino, and the kids are Vanilla, Pop, and Meteora. Pop is the only one who inherited their mother's blond hair, and the other two have their father's red hair. They also have a turtle named Tart (which is one of the reasons I want Pop to inherit the house). Vanilla has been off to college for a few game-years now, Pop just turned 14 and Meteora is the youngest at 3.

Pop randomly turned 14 before my eyes as he was going to go play on the lawn. I got a picture of it. (I would post it but I can't figure out how and I'm too lazy. :P) So far he has banged dishes, hid, and played in the sand by himself at 14. laugh

Lol yeah, got the trophy from that one too! It was just hilarious, he was right next to the smoking oven and just banging dishes like a three-year-old.

Meh... the file is too big to add. Fail.

Pop is now 18 and will soon be going off to college... cry I tried to get him to do more kid stuff, but the closest he got was dancing to the radio - which was still really cute. He is going to inherit the house for sure. I don't think Meteora will make it to college before her parents die of old age. frown I can't believe they're 50+ already... it feels like it was just a few days ago that I adopted Saphella.

What format is the file saved in? The best one to use is JPG, which uses compression to cut down the size, usually without much obvious loss of quality. Possibly the worst to use is Windows Bitmap (BMP) which is not only large, but also can't be opened by several browsers.

Most image editing programs can save a file as a JPG; many will also have the ability to resize and/or crop the picture to cut down the file size even more.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 01/06/12 12:48 AM

I just checked, and it was saved as a PNG. I saved it as a JPG, and now it's reduced enough to post.

Pop and Meteora are both gone to college, and Saphella and Bengino passed away a few days ago. I probably won't start the next generation for a while though.

LOL, MissKathy!

Wow, I can't believe all that's happened to my virtual family. I had Pop inherit the house, and he married a girl named Laila. They had five children together. Laila died today, and now Pop is alone in the house with his youngest son Burico.

What was really weird is that right before Laila died, she got a promotion, lol.

I also have another family, a green-haired bachelor named Hub. He was 24 when I adopted him, and now he is 31 and is level 5 in his career. Now that he's 31 I'm starting to seriously consider finding him a wife.
Posted by: txmom2

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 01/26/12 12:08 AM

Pop just died, cry. And then right after he died there were sunrays everywhere and it looked really peaceful and touching. And now I can't decide whether to have Gregono or Pieror inherit the house, but I have a feeling that it might end up being Pie... I'm not sure why.

Hub is still alone in the big house, but I'm hoping to for a good proposal soon.
Posted by: MissKathyAdministrator

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 01/26/12 06:58 AM

So who did you choose to inherit the house txmom2? For me, if I need the Perfect Match Trophy I choose whichever child/adult has a career more likely to come up sooner than later. Some careers seem to be rarer than others. Otherwise I choose based on whatever goal I decide to have my families strive for.
Posted by: txmom2

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 01/27/12 12:51 AM

I just chose Pie (Pieror) to inherit. He is the same age as his oldest sister, lol, and his oldest and youngest brother are both 27. xD

I still need the Perfect Match trophy, but I don't intend on waiting too long to get that unless he gets an adoption event, which I'm kinda hoping for. I also am kind of aiming towards the Marry Rich trophy. (Wouldn't it be cool if you got both in one shot?)

He is a BBQ Sauce Creator. His first proposal was from a redheaded girl named Utopia, who was a Soap Maker(Inventor?) with 155 dollars in the bank. I can't remember what her likes/dislikes and preferences for kids were. Oh and she was 20.

Hub is still alone. What amuses me is that he's already at level 5 in his career before he's gotten married, while I spoiled Pop so much that I thought he would never make it past level 5. (He made it to level 7, barely.)
Posted by: txmom2

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 01/28/12 04:07 AM

Hub is now 41, at level 7 in his career, and still single. I really hope I'll find someone for him soon. I'm not sure if I've said this before, but I'm kind of in the mindset that no girl is good enough for him. smile

I think Cursor will end up keeping his name. He's ten now and I'm kind of used to it.

On the bright side, Pieror found a wife... and got really lucky with that, too. (See attached picture if you want to know why.)

They now have three cute little boys. Well, I'm not really sure if you can say they're cute, but Fargolo actually won me 100 dollars in the beauty competition event, lol. They're pretty happy right now.


EDIT: Pieror has now mastered his career, woohoo!

I know! At first I was like, "Wow, the one that would be a perfect match for one guy got sent to the other" then I realized that it was Pie who was the BBQ sauce creator, not Hub, and I felt stupid, lol. And then I got really annoyed because she only would have to have had a few more dollars to get me the Marry Rich trophy too, but oh well. It's still a little hard to believe that I got that trophy so easily!

I'm glad I didn't pass her up, too, MissKathy! She's great for Pieror. They almost never argue, and have had a baby every time - that makes four now. Finally, a little girl!

Irony - she likes BBQ!

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 02/04/12 01:30 AM

It happened again! Pieror just adopted another little boy - who ironically looks like older brother Brunone, who found him at the door.

Also, it appears that strange likes and dislikes run in the family! smile (If you noticed on my other picture that Pieror has red hair and dislikes grass - and red.)

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 02/04/12 10:03 PM

Stupid edit timeout... *cough*

Hub is now 42, nearly a master in his career, and he has now found a wife!

Her game-given name was Iota, but I changed it to Iana. She is exactly the kind of girl I'd expected to find for Hub... lol.

No perfect match or anything this time around, but she's great for him. I can just picture her going around the house, going "What has this man been doing all his life?!" and then forcing him to finish ALL the house repairs he'd started. Now the birdbath, the walls, the shed, and two of the floor cracks are fixed - all that he had the supplies for. (The hose was already fixed.)

No baby yet, but they'll keep trying.

Edit: I forgot to add that Kristie is now also a master. Hub has mastered his career now, too. They now have the last floor repair kit they need, and a doctor's consultation reports that Hub may need Baby Boost. I'll have to keep that in mind.

Do you have the fountain pump yet? Once you do, you need to put it by the birdbath (sorry if you've already done this part) and drop two adults on the birdbath at the same time. They should have it fixed in a minute or two.

baby boost, which increases the chances of having babies and so increases the chance of twins and triplets.

She's a little spunky red-head...idk where that came from.

Hub and Iana actually did have a baby, a cute little girl named Tiny. She's about, I think 6 now. I can't remember. I have all my games on pause right now for some odd reason - I can't seem to find the time to deal with my families with the extreme lagness of this computer.

I never did mention that I have another family too - I adopted a redhead named Bubbles. She is a Fruit Examiner and got a Perfect match as well - a redhead who looks like Pieror named Micro. They now have three children, surprisingly none of them redheads. The oldest is a little boy named Peanut, thirteen if I remember correctly, and the two little girls Tilde and Pan.

Help! I have had my family for almost a year. I play with them often. I am in my 22nd generation, have 14 BILLION dollars and still have not had triplets or a career match!!! I have tried the "tips and tricks" I've read about, but nothing seems to work. They are healthy and elated but run a little low on energy. I have never lost a family member except for new generation time. Most of my parents have 6 kids, once in a while twins, but no triplets! Any suggestions? I really getting bored with waiting.

For the Perfect Match, when you get a marriage proposal, pause the game and make a backup of it (if you don't know how to do that, look in the FAQs on ldw.com) and then go back to the game and see what it is. If it's not what you want, you can restore the backup and try again until you get a good one. Be warned, this may take a long, long time!

Well I have a strange boy, Craig!! When I praise him, he just keeps waving and waving and ~~~~~~~~. If I left him and went back 2 hours later, he would still be standing there waving at me!! laugh

I have to remember to move him after using that glove and put him back to what he was doing. If I forgot him, the poor kid would starve to death! frown

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 03/11/12 08:25 AM

Well in my PC version, I have to start over now because after only two generations, the offspring son couldn't have one kid. He went through 3 different wives and died with the last one at 65. I picked him because he was in good health as a kid and the richest of them all(The parents had two sets of twins and two kids after that). He "married for love" at 25 but they couldn't have one kid, no matter how relentless I was. It just bothers me that all I worked for went down the drain because of that boy.

When I'm trying to get the Perfect Match Trophy this is what I do:
Click to reveal..
1. Choose someone to inherit the house that has a career that seems to come up in the game more often (definitely not a Rocket Scientist or Fairy Tale Writer in my families)
2. Keep rejecting marriage proposals until age 41 unless that Perfect Match comes around. At age 41 it's about time to marry whether the Perfect Match has come along or not so that at least 1 child can be born to carry on the family.


I don't know of anything to force triplets. I believe they are random in the game. As for the 5 families I have running, 2 of them need an oven fire and my generations are in the 30's. LOL! 1 still needs a Perfect Match. Hope that helps.

Miss Kathy, can you remember if that little girl disliked Jumping?? My boy did/does. I thought perhaps that might be the trouble. I have a Desensitization Kit ready for him if he is chosen from the next generation. The DK wasn't on offer before he left for college. laugh

I think those habits carry over into the next generation, don't they??

If the DK doesn't work, I'll just go back to a Saved Game and choose another one of the Children or it will take forever to get him to stick at his Career without that Praising Glove. laugh laugh laugh

I selcted him to inherit the house in the next Generation and, sure enough, there was Gavin, still going like a snail. He had 2 Dislikes: Surprises and Running.

I left my two families alone from last night to right now and they both had famillies with 4 or 5 kids.In fact I left them both with the mothers pregnant. When I just checked now the 3 oldest in the family of four were dead leaving a 4yr old and the parents. The other family of five, the two oldest and the father died leaving the two young kids. I just want to be done with those families because after all that work, all the prospects are gone and I hate when I get stuck with a poor child.
Posted by: MissKathyAdministrator

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 03/21/12 05:43 AM

Oh Skyey2000, I am so sorry for the loss of your peeps! cry Do you have any idea of their cause of death? Check the refrigerator... they may have starved to death. Another possibility is that they were ill for sometime. Did you happen to notice the Status of the survivors? Check the surviving members details screen to check their health and fed level. I once forgot to stock the refrigerator and nearly lost a family.

Unfortunate as these events have been, all of your prospects are not gone since you still have a living person in the home. You can choose to carry on with them or choose the Next Generation option which will allow you to choose someone in the current family tree (that did not pass away) to begin the next generation rather than have to restart the game from scratch (unless of course you've already restarted the game).

Good luck with whichever path you choose. smile

After my heiress, Inky died, her husband Camillo was left alone in the house as all the kids were off at college. He was hungry but old and too slow to make dinner so I stocked up on bananas and mangoes and candies and fed him until he had been somewhat pulled out of his depression. Then, I gave him a chamomile drink and put him to bed so he could die peacefully in his sleep. What really choked me up was the family dog following Camillo into bed and sitting on top of him as he slipped away :'(

This morning Pauletto's wife Veronica passed away. She was 65. Their two children Uolle (boy) and Saphette (girl) have been at college.

Just recently there was a knock at the door, it was an orphan. So 68 year old Pauletto is now the adoptive single dad of a 3 year old boy named Habit. Luckily Pauletto still seems to be in good health.

A few hours after I last posted, Pauletto passed away. Habit has been living on his own since he was 3. He's 15 now, and finally old enough to cook his own meals. Luckily I had enough money to keep him going on fruit and snacks. Not sure what's going to happen when he goes off to college.
Posted by: MissKathyAdministrator

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 04/28/12 02:26 AM

You don't have to wait for him to go to college. Ever since Veronica passed away you have the option of starting a new generation. To move on to the next generation click the "Family" tab/button within your game and click on "New Generation" at the top of the screen. You will get to choose which child you want to start off the new generation. smile You can wait for Habit to go to college or not, but the game does not move to the next generation on it's own. Once you click the "New Generation" button you can't change your mind.

so! no that i re-installed the game. i came back and a couple had died. they had NO children so i had to start over. luckily i found a rainbow girl without too much trouble. i then got a proposal from someone who was close enough to the bottom for my liking. so i married them and instantly 'paired' them.
I walked away to let them.. do their thing... and when i came back a baby had been born! so i look at the family page to see what head it is...and 3... THREE heads had shown up!!!! TRIPLETS!!! smile
three blonde darlings...i hope they'lll have a rare child in the future but for now im ok with trying to raise 3 little boys smile

Hey I was just wondering could someone help in one of my families on the second generation because my 58 year old dad, Francino is sick in bed. I dont think he has a cough or bad stomach or a cold or any thing like that he once said feeling dizzy and he keeps moaning and crying out, even when I'm not touching him (he does it even more when I pick him up.). I don't know what to do with him. I'm scared he will die.

He is married to Stella (59), who inherited the house from her past family. They have five Beautiful redheads, Sandresse (college),Havoc (college), Atlas (16), Samba (adopted 15) and Deb (11) they are all elated except Francino who is not a bit sick it says quite sick.
Help! I will update on my family and my other one soon.

thank you MissKathy,will do. Have any of yours ever got sick like that and if so how did you help them? Did they survive? I will post what the doctors consultation says straight away. cool

I have two family's, the Roberts and the Baxters, here is my update on them:

The Roberts:
I adopted a handsome little man, Crisone Roberts who married a lovely lady called Brania, and had a little boy called Kin. Sadly, Crisone passed away and left kin to inherit the house. He soon married a beautiful Peta and had an adorable little boy named Bono. At the moment they are trying to make a baby and the family bigger because they both definitely want kids and Bono is soon going to college as he is 18.

The Baxters:
I once adopted a young man named Nugget. He married a pretty little Penniana and they had a baby boy named Tonic, another boy called Artetto, a son called Akino, twin girls Omega and Stella then a little boy named Artory. Unfortunately, Nugget died along with boys Tonic and Akino. I chose Stella to inherit the house and she married Francino, who. Is sadly sick in bed. They have five children, daughter Sandresse who is now in college with her little brother, Havoc and younger sister, Atlas. Soon following in her big sister's footsteps is adopted 18 year old daughter, Samba. Youngest 15 year old Deb has a little time to go before she is in college but she is quite happy at home, too. Stella and Francino are trying for another baby but I doubt they will get it as they are in their early 60's.

More updates coming soon!

P.s. how do you upload pics from the iPad?

They now have 6 children due to one set of triplets - 2 sons and 3 daughters :0 which is good as they are both "definitely" on children smile Waiting on Duct tape still but the shed is open, bird bath pump installed, and a few cheaper house upgrades: Air Purifier, Bathroom Upgrade with scale and radio.

Hi, I'm new to the forums, but I have been playing Virtual Families for a while now. Currently I have three families:

Family #1(First Generation):

Maddie is 39 years old and a novice recipe inventor. She married Ken who is a dressmaker, and together they have two children, Seth and Mae, ages 12 and 9.

Family #2(First Generation):

In this family is Rumour, who is 25 years old and beginner art critic. She is married to Randall who is a census taker. Right now they have one child, a son named Malibu who is currently a baby and will be renamed Rory as soon as he ages.

Family #3(First Generation):

Meet Griffin, of our third and final family. He is 26 years old and is a novice dressmaker and is happily married to his dream girl Valley, who is also a dressmaker. They just recently welcomed a baby boy named Buzz into the family.


Update!

Meet Annie, the founder of my 4th virtual family. She is currently single, looking for Mr. Right.

Will get a picture uploaded later.


Another update! Annie just got married to a guy I called Roscoe. He is a dressmaker(man, seems every guy I get has a profession related to dresses).

I have also just recently started Playing VF again as well and remember that I had the same thing happen to me a while back.. I had returned to my game maybe more then 5 months later to find that my peeps were 40 and still running around in almost all of my files! it was strange that they hadn't gone hungry... but they sure had money to boot! sadly we recently had our hardrive replaced and so I gotta build up my resources again!

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 03/24/13 05:55 PM

After a really long time without playing VF, I reinstalled the game in this laptop and decided to finally stick with one family until I'd earned all 100 (well, 101) trophies. I've never managed to get more than 84 in previous families, so I'm still wondering if I'll succeed this time.

Things are going along nicely so far, though. Started the family with a blue-haired girl, Ketose, whose daughter Kinetics inherited the house. Kinetics' daughter Psicose inherited the house in her turn, as did Psicose's son Plasmid. Then Plasmid's daughter Ytterbium was the next one to take over, followed by her daughter Tyrosine.
Tyrosine is still alive at age 61. Her husband Plutonium recently died at age 63 after being the first peep in this family to reach the top of a career (Engineer). Tyrosine is on level 7 of hers (Fruit Examiner), though I doubt she'll live long enough to reach Master level. Their oldest two children, daughter Sucrose and son Cisplatin, have been in college for a very long time now, and only the youngest child, 17-year-old daughter Beryllium, remains at home.
As soon as Tyrosine dies and Beryllium leaves for college, Cisplatin will be the one to return to the house.
Concerning trophies, I have 81 so far. Most of the ones that are left will only take a long time to gain, but are doable. The perfect match one will probably be the trickiest one.

Hey,Here is a quick story about my family
First there was Diskette then she married Francono they had 6 kids
Twins,Lola and Bubbles then she adopted Bengor then she had another baby Francone then they adopted Brola and had their last child Dico!
Recently Diskette died and I gave the house to Lola since she was the only one who wanted kids so Francy and Dico moved out.
Lola married Click and they had one child Peanut.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 03/26/13 02:27 PM

Tyrosine died at 62, and she never did get to reach the top of her career. Beryllium went to college shortly afterwards, and Cisplatin returned to the house, with a brand new job as a Spice Mixer. After 5 in-game years or close to it, and rejecting 5 marriage proposals...he got a proposal from another Spice Mixer, later renamed Diakinesis. I think I even said "oh my God, no way" out loud when I saw what her job was! I've been playing this game for years, with multiple families, some going to 20 generations or so, and I had never earned the Perfect Match trophy before! laugh
They now have 2 children, a 5-year-old son, Peptide, and a newborn daughter (I haven't decided what will her new name be yet). Cisplatin is now on level 6 of his career, Diakinesis on level 3.

Oh, and the funny thing? They do seem to be perfect for each other, same job, feel the same way about having kids (Would Be Nice), but there's something they'll always disagree on. Cisplatin was born with "peanut butter" as one of his likes, and his wife dislikes it. XD

Unusual names -- are you a researcher/doctor/pharmacist in real life? No matter, but you definitely choose very unique names. wink

Oh, and that's funny that one has a like for peanut butter and the other has a dislike for it. Just too funny!:D

Thank you - I'm still amazed at finally having this happen in game, after having so many peeps from previous generations and families reject dozens of proposals with no success. I always had to end up marrying them to the next prospective spouse that came up because they always got too old. Even though the odds aren't that terrible as odds go (less than 1% chance, I think?), from what I've read in this forum, it still seems to be pretty rare. smile
I'm studying biochemistry at college, so I like to give "science-y" names to my virtual people (and sims) every once in a while. Some scientific terms make interesting names. wink


Just checked the family a while ago, the daughter has reached age 2 and I renamed her Blastocyst. Unlike her brother and parents, she had no predetermined likes, so I took care with that with an encyclopedia from the store. She now likes vegetables. Too bad that she didn't start liking "running", but I guess I've used up all my luck for this generation. smile

" Too bad that she didn't start liking "running", but I guess I've used up all my luck for this generation."

smile I don't know if I've ever had one that likes running in VF. I know I've had runners in the VV games, but can't remember any from VF.

I decided to start the old Virtual Villagers 1 a little while ago. See, I had all the games on my old computer and got a new one as a present from my husband and kids for my birthday last January. After I got it, I wrote LDW and asked how to get my games put onto my new computer. I hadn't actually played any of them in a long, long time but since I got an Android for Xmas I was playing VF on it and wanted to play it again on my new computer.

Anyway, LDW got me all set up and so far, I've only played VF but decided I hadn't played the very first VV game in so long that I'd start it. Gosh, talk about wanting a runner, lol! Those people move soooooo slowly -- even the one little girl I have moves slow! Oh well, I'll hang in there for a little while and if I get bored of it then maybe I'll try VV2 instead.

Blastocyst, great name!

Blastocyst, great name!



I never played VV1 or VV2 - my brother was the one who's always been into LDW games, and I saw him playing VV3 one day and decided to try it. Same with VV4, I did try to play VV5 but I lost interest in that one soon. Never really wanted to try one of the first two, since they wouldn't look as good having played newer games first, I guess. I did get a few runners in the two VV games I played, though they were few and far between.
I've had two (I think) runners in VF itself, one of them was a spouse that happened to have that like (so of course I had to make the peep in question marry her), the other was a little boy who gained the like via encyclopedia. He was the only one to get it that way, even though every kid with no likes gets the encyclopedia treatment (unless the store doesn't cooperate).

Blastocyst really is a cool name, especially on a virtual girl. Seems like it'd be more of a boy name somehow. smile

Checked on the family again, Cisplatin got another promotion and is now on level 7. He and Diakinesis have tried for baby twice since Blastocyst turned 2, but no luck so far. And I recently got the kitchen upgraded to level 3, which gave me trophy #83.

Peanut has left for college and Lola and Click had another baby and named her Dakota.
When Dakota turned 3 we got a soft knock on the door and we adopted Electra who unfortunately likes dirt and hates makeup.
Click has been promoted to Level 4 as a History Tutor and same with Lola except she is a nut processor.
Lola has also turned into a workaholic and will only eat if she has finishes a full work cycle!
Dakota is a Runner! Without the use of an encyclopedia! So she has to always do the chores.
That's all for now I guess!

Tell me about it! The first time I got one in VF, at first I thought the boy was sick or something...he moved like he was in pain, and I think he was even slower than most of my elderly peeps. It wasn't until my brother mentioned "he must dislike running" that I realized what was going on and used the desensitization kit on him.


Diakinesis is now on level 4 of her career, Cisplatin is still on level 7 but the progress bar is already half full, so he'll get me another trophy soon. smile
Since I last posted, they've had a set of twin girls (who look just like their older sister Blastocyst). I renamed them Lysine and Polymerase. They were born with "wind" as their like, so no encyclopedia for them, I guess.
Peptide is now 11, Blastocyst is 7 and the twins are 4. Still not sure if I'll make the parents try for another baby in the future.

Hi JesseGirl, Your little people's health may be low because they have an infection. A Dr. Consult with the stethoscope will tell you if they need treatment and what kind of medicine will cure them.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 03/29/13 11:40 AM

Thank you Miss Kathy. It turns out that they had a grave illness and I was able to cure the husband but the wife died before I could cure her. Sad isn't it!

Click has died and I gave the house to Dakota and she gas married Leo and they had a baby,Pieror. He is still nursing.
Leo is a fairy tale writer and always works but it always ends up with a puff of smoke.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 03/29/13 09:45 PM

Cisplatin and Diakinesis did end up having a fifth child, a boy I renamed Trophoblast. Like most of his older siblings, he already had likes so I didn't use the encyclopedia with him either. Cisplatin reached the top of his career, becoming the first peep in that family to master a kitchen career, getting me trophy #84.
Peptide and Blastocyst have both left for college at this point. Diakinesis is 56 (and only on level 5 of her career, though close to a promotion now), Cisplatin is 54, Lysine and Polymerase are 16 and Trophoblast is 12. I'm planning on having Blastocyst inherit the house after Cisplatin and Diakinesis eventually die.

That e-mail is an event that pops up sometimes, not that common, but not extremely rare either. It can come in very handy, though, because the neighbour points out a rare collectible - not necessarily a coin - and you can get lucky and get one you didn't have before. smile



Played my virtual family again. Diakinesis is now 59, Cisplatin is 57, and Trophoblast is 16. The twins are now at college. Diakinesis finally got promoted to level 6 of her career, and she had been getting sick all the time, so I thought a doctor consultation couldn't hurt. Turns out she did have a serious infection (I've had some peeps be sick quite often and turn out to be infection-free before). I gave her vancomycin to treat her, earning trophy #85.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 05/28/13 11:20 AM

VF1:
I am in my third generation. Artello (37) was the youngest of two. He is my first to marry in his 30's, no woman was good enough for my Artello wink He married a woman whose name I forget and feel bad because I like her. He is a fiction writer and she is a rocket scientist- kind of why I liked her! They struggled for years to have kids; they kept trying and just failed. No perfumes came up so I used a baby boost for the first time and it still failed. They finally have a baby, mom is 35 and currently nursing. Seeing as they are my first couple not to have kids in their twenties, they'll probably just have the one (at the most one more if they don't struggle to). I don't want my families to ever be in a situation where the parents are dead and the kid is taking care of itself.

VF2: I am in my second generation. Saphella (35) is the mom, her husband is Uolla (34). Although I must say there is a glitch that I cannot fix from an android- Saphella's name recently changed to match her husband's so I can't always tell who to praise for the promotion frown Anyway, they have triplet boys that have ONLY just started being decent human beings. The boys just turned 11, and every year before that was hell for their parents; one would be jumping on the bed, while another is digging in the trash and a third is banging dishes. No amount of the red glove made them learn, not even praising the good behaviours that were few and far in between. I changed two of the outfits when they turned two so I could tell them apart. Master wears orange, Bin green and Droid black

Update.
VF1:
Artello and Soonella did manage to get a second child before she turned 40- a little boy named Nero. So at least the first child, Taffy, is not lonely. She's now 10 and recovering from an infection. Her status is very weak but she runs so fast! I like her a lot. Both kids have light brown hair like their mother. Dad like all the generations before him has black hair.

VF2:
My triplets are in college much to the mother's delight. I don't know if she liked them much. She was always " being disrupted" when one was near her and always napped when she wasn't working. Now she's exercising, putting on makeup, and playing the guitar. Bad mom frown
They all grew to be studious and very helpful around the house. It's so empty without them.

So my family started out with Jessie she has red hair and then Comet came into Jessie's life and together they had Gregu. Like 10 years after Gregu was born, they had Sophetta they. Looked a lot alike and soon after they had Paulico, a spitting image of comet, and Artur with purple hair. Sadly Comet passed away and the house was passed on to Gregu who rejected marrying Laila and instead married Etna. After trying several times to have a baby, they finally had Apple and when Apple was two, a little boy in need of adoption came to our door so then we had Bengo who was one year older than Apple right after adopting Bengo the couple had Hiro who's still nursing and has a blue spiky do.. crazy

VF1: On my 15th generation, Moss married Sooniana, and they had four kids: Idol, a boy, Gaga, Carila, girls, and Zest, a boy. Gaga and Carila look exactly alike, even though they are not twins. The parents are 53 and 55, and I'm waiting for them to die to start a new generation (I know, I sound like a horrible person)

VF2: On my 24th generation, Breniana, who was adopted, married Pierelo, and they had five kids: Vanilla, the twins, Frola and Marina, Franesse, and Ro, all girls. Then, I had them adopt a boy named Boino. The parents are not 47 and 46. All of the kids are in college, except Ro, who is 15, and Boino, who is 11.

My other VF2 game: I started playing this game on another device yesterday. I adopted a purple-haired girl named Zebra. She married Amaretto, and they had bald twin boys, Fargur and Francone.
Update: Zebra and Amaretto had another baby, a girl named Rusty! She has black hair.

Re: So what's going on in YOUR virtual family? - 09/26/16 02:16 PM

VF2: I adopted Soonila, 40, who married Balino, 39, after accidentally rejecting another man. They had their first child, immediately after the marriage, and Atara, 12, was born. After that it was Pina (9), Pierico (8), the twins: Bosh and Fargono (6), and their last, Trishette, who is currently 3.

I am on my first generation and already had twins!

Only thing I'm worried about is the oldest kid, Atara. She started being depressed at only 6 years old. Upon realization, I bought one of the house renovations (west room) and she was "a bit blue". Two years later (in game), she got depressed again and she's been like that ever since. She's 12 now.

Do your people have food? In my experience, my people are sad when they don't have any food.
Update for VF: Moss and Sooniana passed away frown and I chose the youngest, Zest, to inherit the house. He married Vista, and they had four kids, Pinki, Epsilon, Detto, and Saphola. Zest just died, and I chose Pinki to inherit the house. The house is a mess. I wish there were maids in this game.
Pinki just married Zak. It's a little creepy, because ZAK LOOKS JUST LIKE ZEST!! It's like Zest came back to life as Zak, and married Pinki. Anyway, while I was writing this, Pinki and Zak had a baby boy named Kiketto. I'll keep you posted!

Hello everybody, if anybody actually reads this!
I started a new game of VF because I was bored with my old game. So far, I am only on my first generation. I adopted Soonette, a chewing gum designer. She then married Glitch, a ceramics designer. They, so far, have five kids, all boys: Dino, Burone, Artolo, Stephor, and Ziggy. They all look kind of the same, except for Artolo.
