Thanks Sweetheart! I can make a modified remote and try that, though after searching as long as I have I have my doubts about it showing up.

Mine was in the laundry room.

Three of my five families have lost the remote.Cant find it anywhere.

Have you looked in the fridge? My RL husband actually put ours there once!

try looking hard.its hidden in a random spot.i think i once found it the bathroom.(with the shower)

If it were somehow in the fridge I don't think you could get them to pick it up. No, it's been gone since I updated to .05. I guess I'll just start over after the old couple die...It's a pity, since they're a fourth generation.

Mine was right on the table where it was supposed to be once when they said it was lost, lol....

My remotes finally showed up.

Yesterday, both my families misplaced the remote. I know where the remotes are, but haven't let my peeps in on it. With the TV out of the way, they seam to work on their carriers a bit more willingly. Mind you, I had only played the game for 1/2 day when they lost the remote, so I don't really have anything concrete to compare with.

Wondering if any of you noticed a difference in your peeps work behaviour?

They will work good if you give them enough praise from the glove, candy, and fruit (The fruit is best, as it is a way to praise them and also gives them energy.). I buy the fruits and candy every time they show in the store so that I have it when it's needed. Even when my peeps are aged I'll buy it to have when training the next generation.

Anyway, to your question; After your peeps are well trained they need the tv and other forms of recreation to relax. I think it makes them live longer if they do more than just work all the time. If they're doing something and you want them to work just pick them up and place them back at their workstation. In a short time they'll go back to it on their own. I hope this answered your question Sweetie. Big hugs!!!
