I have enjoyed reading everyone's comments and just have to jump in and say I LOVE VF 2 JUST HOW IT IS..no complaints. It is a lovely place to spend time where I can sit back with a cuppa tea, relax and enjoy the trip along the way. True..this is not a game for those who need to have things moving full speed ahead. I appreciate the details and having something new for each new generation.

I have four families going. Each one has a different theme or style. For example, one family has been founded by a very parsimonious matriarch. If it aint on sale she won't buy it. Good thing the cheap sofas double as beds!

Hi Anarose and welcome! Glad you added to this thread. You have an interesting way of playing, will be curious to hear about that family as it progresses. I don't mean to sound so negative really, that's why I've also tried to say positive things that I like about this game.

I now think that because things are more expensive and because there are so many more items available, that it is actually going to hold my interest much longer than the original.

Wow! Congratulations!!! I'd love to see them! Can you post a screenshot of your Family Tree with the twins on it?

Sean my cute blonde headed bloke, been waiting for the right proposal..I like to have 1 cute blonde couple....that match well..right away he had the soft knock on door, and he adopted this cute sweet kid..since age 25, now age 30 still had not found right match, today, email..the cute long hair blonde,showed up Brid was perfect and rich.. though it was love at first sight..
Well it was so cute you know how the bloke goes gets the rose, for her, so did the wee 3 year old adopted Michael, bring her a rose too..
It was so cute..Then they had twins..Oh my...lolol

I like the way the guy hands his new wife a rose. Very romantic. In exchange, she hands him ... a pizza!

Similarly, when she has a baby, he comes up with a gift-wrapped present, as do any other boys in the family. Any girls don't give their mother anything.

You're both right, the twins are GIRLS. I acted on their names, Uffa & Soonina. I thought for sure "Uffa" was a boy!! It wasn't till I saw them running around I realized my mistake!

Your 'romantic' remark made me burst out laughing.. Thinking.. if guys had the choice, they'd probably go for the pizza!

Here they are... totally opposite looking from their parents... which is fine with me!

Too right! You can't eat a rose!

Well, at a glance, I'd have thought they were both boys!

simsane, i just found my first nut, lol. It snowed and than all of a sudden leaves started popping up and a nut!(I could make a tree out of the leaves i found by now lol.)
I also love it that a room can be what you want, recently they have been whatching at the biggest room by far saying wishing a utility room. I was like istn that a bit to big for a utility room?
lol

Great, Pinkanista and yea, I think I could make a tree too, lol! My kid (only have one so far, they refuse to try for another one) keeps goign to that largest room and saying he wished it was an "exercise" room! As far as I knew, there wasn't even going to BE an exercise room, lol!
