Okay so I've gotten pretty far in the game and my goal has been to like mass produce babies haha, so I have two women (I might make it 3) only be parents. They've populated most of my village so far.
In the last 7 children born and raised, only one has been a girl. That worries me!! What is gonna happen when their parents' generation dies? What if the girl dies? My villagers CAN'T produce girls for some reason

It's not the first time i've had more boys than girls and this sucks. Is there anything I can do or is this like, "oh there's a 50/50 chance of your entire village dying out"?

all i am having is boys

Me, too...I started a new village with only one boy and the rest girls. Of course the first child born was a boy! sigh...

I am wondering if I can set up an exchange program between my villages. I started a second tribe. The first will only have boys, now my new one only girls. AT least a much older male can still father children, but it is frustrating.

why no girls i have had 8 babies everyone is a boy

Unlike previous VV games, there is no cut off age for the women to bear children in VV4. My oldest mom so far is 57. So hang in there; maybe your ladies will have girls later on. I have had many girls as well as boys in my tribe. I have 45 people so far and about equal males/females.

My oldest mom is 62!!

Edit:
Last kid born and raised was a girl, yay!
2 more on the way! Hopefully both girls lol

Also, don't give up, there are several events that will give you a variety of children.

Jenny, does your mom of 57

Another question...
Why does it take so long for women nursing for 0 minutes to put the toddler down?
It's said 0 minutes for almost 10

Did you often pause the game? (for the collectibles, for example)
It may be the explanation!

No, not really. She finally put the bundle of joy down. And it's joyful because it's another girl! Lol

I didnt know there was no cut off age. I just stopped trying after 50. Thank you for the info.

all i keep having is girls... i'm starting to wonder a little.. but the problem i guess can be reversed!

My oldest mom right now is 67! And I've another that is 63! It floored me. XD

wow! i thought cut off was 50 too!!!! AWESOME! i was starting to freak b/c i have 2 tribes right now 1 is my main one and its going very smoothly! the second i started with 3 young men, 1 little boy and 1 women. i've had like 5 or 6 kids and they r all boys and i have her holding another one but shes almost 45. SHEWWWWWW thanks guys!

same here... 11 girls and only 1 boy
now I have one male that can still reproduce and 3 babies going
I hope for atleast one 1 boy

are u guys sure?? cause my women is now 50. i checked parenting and keep trying over and over. about 15 minutes and no baby!

You think u got troubles i went to work put game on slow i know i know should have paused it but was wanting the extra few points had around 500 food 9 villagers everyone over 30 died which was all the women now have 3 males no kids and am really really hoping theres a event that gives me a boatload of females as my youngest male is 19

I wondered about that too! I tried forever with my 53 old female, no luck either; even though she had plenty of parenting skill.
I didn't mind that she didn't succeed, just wanted to see the result for myself.

I believe it was in VV-1 where women could have children at a very late age. In the later VV games it was usually 50.

well its been 2 days and now the boys are 52, 52 and 40 still no woman got the nursery school built going to see if letting them teach there with no kids increases their parenting skill.

I'm trying to get my 51 yr old mom to Master Parent, but ever since she set down her last baby she hasn't had any luck. The men she's tried with are improving at parenting, but she isn't improving and she isn't conceiving. I too thought it might be an age thing, but now I know that isn't the case. Any ideas?

I had a 73 year old woman nursing. I thought there must have been something wrong with my game lol

Thanks, QuickStorm, that's good to know.

I had all boy babies, all the women are over 50 and refuse to get pregnant. Started refusing to get pregnant at 50, just like normal. Even tried setting them to Parenting, no better results.

It doesn't seem to happen often, judging by the posts here. I kept several of my women on parenting even when they'd reached 50 in attempts to get them to Master of Parenting and thence to Scholar, and none of them have fallen pregnant. Now my population is maxed out so there's even less chance of it happening.

Since I was slow in expanding my tribe at the beginning there was a fairly big gap between the first and second generations. That meant that when I maxed out my population and no further babies could be born I had to wait for a villager to die. However, since the oldest peeps were all still relatively young I had a big gap when nobody died. At one stage I had only one kid and 94 adults. It felt terrible hoping that someone would die so that another baby could be born!

I'm just finding it annoying they're saying it'll work, over and over again, when it obviously doesn't. I need a real solution, not platitudes, and I'm obviously not going to get one. Started the game with 3 women, 1 man, 1 child. 2 of the women are dead now, they stopped giving birth at 50, and all they produced were male. The whole point of getting all women was to produce more kids. No good there.

catsend, Your best bet, maybe the only way to go, is start a new tribe. Just go to Menu->Change Tribe. Not all tribes succeed even with a good start. But you can have up to 5 tribes running at once.. At least one of them should get to where the population is stable and can increase when there is enough food and enough huts.

I believe woman villagers do not conceive babies after age 50, although they can still go to the love shack.

To all of you having trouble with your over 50 women conceiving:

Your best bet is to get the over 50 to at least adept status by fast kissing, master status is probably even better.

Make sure that parenting is ticked as their preferred skill and then close the game for a while - half an hour or so should do it.

When you come back in all likelihood your over 50 will be nursing. I have had many over 50s nursing, some even with twins and right into their 70s. They just don't seem to conceive by forcing matters!

Hope this helps, some do have better luck in conceiving than others and having level 3 medicine also increases fertility.

Interesting. I've always shifted the over 50 ladies to farming or healing. I should let them try longer. Although with currently 104 villagers, farming is more what my tribe needs.

ok 24 hours later down to 1 villager when i got a barrel full of babies and guess what they all 3 of them are MALE.

oh well i guess i get another week to get a barrel full of females lol

well i left game on fast thought i had pit it on slow went to work got back and had another barrel of babies.

FINALLY got 1 girl guess i should rename her eve and all the boys adam 1,2 3 etc lol

stuck on other tribe for parenting skill as they all had babies so got to wait at least 15 years till death is imminent as none of my villagers have gone past 77.

I am concerned, my tribe has had six children born to them and they are all male! If I don't start having girl children soon I will have to start over.

Only six?

You've got plenty of time unless you started expanding your tribe very late and your female villagers are approaching 50. Even if they are over 50 sometimes they can still have a baby. Don't worry. It'll even itself out over time.

This is amazing, into their seventies!!! I wouldn't want to think about it .... brrrrrrr

I didn't have succes either getting women over 50s pregnant. I think, but that is just my suspicion, those elderly ladies cling on to much jonger man, the moment we let the game go on it's own ... that's the only explanation I can think off

Personally I want them to be out of the diapers before they become Sarah

For some odd reason, I have never had a villager pregnant if they are over 50.

i keep having girls! i have 25 villagers in my tribe at the moment and i have 8 males! (5 have just been born) so i got lucky there! i thought i was going to get all girls again! but i do keep having more girls

You are not alone! Neither have any of my 50 year old or older.

I am not sure, but I think the chances of older moms increases

Has anyone suggested that before you have your villagers embrace, you hold the F2 function key down if you want a boy and hold the F3 function key down if you want a girl?

As far as I can tell this is 100% accurate.

Works for me, anyway. I keep a 3:1 ratio of girls to boys.

This is very interesting! Who knew!

That's a new one on me! Only problem is that you have to wait two Isola years to see if it worked or not...

This was surprising news for me because my tribe seems to produce boys only
So I gave it a try, pushed functionkey F3 before embracing until they came out of the loveshack ... then I waited 2 hours very anxiously, held my breath and finally when the suspence was nearly killing me here HE was:


Did I do something wrong? Anyone else has another view on this?

Oh well, another theory bites the dust ...

I am trying this for days now:
So far out of 3 tries, 2 are succesfull. But maybe to judge the real efficiency of this technique we must test it a long time, it remains random I think

@ ILSherry: Do you hold the F2 or F3 key down till they come out of the loveshack? I want this 100% accurate thing too

Wouldn't it be smart to try to have a boy to prove the accurateness of this? My village needs Boys! Keepin' my fingers crossed for 100%!

Which button did you push this time, dear?

Thanks so much! This worked wonders for me! I could not get anyone over 50 to reproduce, I checked the parenting on my oldest women and quit. I just went back and lookie!! WOOHOO Thanks SO SO much! It does work guys!

lol im having the opposite prob..i cant produce any boys...out of the last 15 births...only 2 boys...and i only have one male over 18 right now..lol...he is gonna have a lot of kids

Ok. I "hate" my "dare devil barrel" kids. I never got this event in my 1st tribe. And I can't believe I "finished" it in 4 days, "yes" 4 days, and this tribe is taking "almost" 2 weeks to do. Out of 40 babies, 10 "don't" like running, 10 "don't" like working and the rest are "lazy". The lazy ones keep going to the water fall and "rests". I have tired everything I can think of to get them to work. I put the "don't" like running in research, I've put the "don't" like working, picking the herbs and flowers, when they were kids and in parenting as adults, and "after" I read about it, "speed kissing" to get them Masters in there, and the "lazy" ones to cooking, soap making. And I have seen these "don't" get the tech points in doing this.
I "hope" I don't get another "dare devil barrel". I had my tribe to "my" satisfaction until then. I have in the "orginal" tribe 40 scholars. They have died now. I seriouly "doubt" I'll get any out of the "dare devil" kids.
This is my 2nd tribe. Maxed the population. Maxed the food. From the orginals, I have still several Masters in 3 fields, but they are getting "up" in age to "reproduce". So, I think, there goes my Scholars for the 100 level in Trophies, as this is my "final" trophy to get.
I think I will start a 3rd tribe and see what goes on from there.
Oh well, "life goes on" in VV4.
Happy "living" in VV4 all.

I don't know if you will ever see this response, but I am so sorry the F2 & F3 function keys didn't work for you.

What I do is pause the game, check parenting for both partners, move them to a secluded portion of the island, hold the function key down, press the space bar, and have the female initiate the embrace (I drop her on the male). I don't let them go to the "love shack." Usually mine embrace once, sometimes twice, population goes up & I pause the game. I change the partners back to the skill I want them to have and press the space bar again to continue the game.

As far as I can tell, this works in all of the games at this time. We will see what the next one will bring.
