I'm on VF2 but there is one crazy glitch in my family that appears and disappears all the time. The glitch is on the family is on but i Can't touch them. Then I realized I When i tap something the shop appears and says buy and the other options on an item.Then I realized it was that it was showing wrong image and i tapped back assuming it was there and it bring me to my family house except it was on family tree. So what I mean is on something it shows a pic of it but when I tap it does it for another screen. For example on the family but when I tap It responds as if it were on Shop

PLZ HELP it annoys me and wont let me play properly

Hi Adil123, Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your game. When you referred to the glitch being on the family and that you can't touch them, do you mean that you were in the little person's "details screen"?

For right now, close your game, exiting through the multi-task bar and then relaunch the game. You should be able to play normally again. smile

Did you get to the family tree by tapping "Menu" then "Family" or some other way?

You will find this thread informative. The marriage proposal that the 18 year old opened is blank because it was meant for the parent. Kids can't marry until they are head of the next generation.

That experiment was on a Windows computer, and she explains that she didn't have all the children at once a few posts down here.

It's not possible. The images were created by Lyssaria using image editing software so that she could illustrate the results of her experiment.

Also, you can add more information to your posts by clicking the "Edit" button below your post. smile

No, the game is currently limited to 6 children. You can, however, wait a few "game years" between children so that there can still be a child in the house when the adults are older.

You mentioned that the issue you were having with your game has occurred more than once. It would be a great help if you could try to make it happen again, and tell me step by step what you did, so that I can look into it. You can post your results as a "Reply" to this message or you're welcome to send me a Private Message (PM). smile

I'd like to ask you for a little more information about this problem, so that we can look into it, if that's OK with you.

What kind of iOS device are you playing VF2 on (iPod touch, iPhone, iPad), and about how long have you had the device?

Has this problem been happening since you installed the game, or did it work properly at first?

If you perform the following procedure, does the game start working properly again?

1) Hold the Sleep/Wake button on your device until the red slider appears, then slide to power off.
2) After the device has powered off, hold the Sleep/Wake button again until the Apple logo appears
3) Once the device is completely powered on, launch the game again and see if the game operates properly

Thanks so much for that information. One other thing that would be helpful would be to know how many apps are currently resident in memory. You can find that for us by taking the following steps:

- Double-tap the home button, which will open the multi-task bar
- You will see 4 app icons displayed at the bottom of the screen, and the home screen will be dimmed. Count the number of app icons there are in the multi-task bar. You can slide the 4 visible ones to the left (by swiping them with your finger) to reveal the next 4 apps icons; continuing to do that until you get to the end and let us know how many total icons are in the multi-task bar.
- Open Safari and examine the little icon in the lower right that looks like two pages stacked together. If there is a number there, please let me know what that number is (it will be between 2 and 8 ).

Thanks again for working with us!

That's quite a few apps resident in memory at once, and depending upon the total memory installed in your device, it can lead to unpredictable behavior. The memory we're talking about here is RAM, or application memory, not the 8 GB - 64 GB that you see when you check Usage in settings or the number that is printed on the back of your device .

If you wouldn't mind trying something, it would help us determine what might be causing the issue you're seeing. Please try the following procedures and let us know if the game starts acting more normally:

Launch Safari and tap the icon with the number of open pages (the one you indicated that showed six). On the next screen, tap the 'x' on each open page to close all Web pages (tabs) to free up memory, then press the Home button. Do the same for other browser applications you may be running.

Next, access the multi-task bar by double-tapping the Home button. Press and hold one of the icons until you see badges with a dash appear in the upper left corner of each icon. Tap the red badge for each application to close all of them. Each of those apps occupies a certain amount of RAM. Although they are not actually running and don't have a direct effect on device performance, the cumulative memory that they occupy can result in causing other apps to have problems due to low memory conditions.

Please let us know if this helps. smile

The genetics are not the same as they were in the original VF, so you will see more variations in appearance.

Can you please post a screen shot of your person's Details screen and the family screen for us to examine? If you don't know how to do that, you can look here.

Have you updated your game to the latest version from the App Store (currently 1.0.1)? That updated version prevents the bug that you described, although it won't change the current generation's information.

The glitch had already happened before you updated the game from the App Store. Once the glitch happens, updating afterward won't fix that generation. When you get to the next generation, everything should work properly. If it doesn't, please let us know.

I'm sorry that it's messed up, but there isn't a way to fix it after it's been saved that way. We have fixed the problem so that it won't happen again in the future, and eventually that generation will be replaced if you play the game long enough.
