The "Bleed over" as you call it has been discussed, many times, on this forum, and is logged as a bug in the game, which we hope to fix at some point in time. I cannot say when or if that might come to pass, but there are many discussions about the various issues in the game.

SparkleGeekGirl's suggestion of "stacking" items in the tool tray, is an excellent idea! Having the choice to buy more than one of the same item, should be the norm!

Xay, Thanks very much. You are right. I found the posts finally. If I had just taken a few minutes more to do a bit more research. Duh! Now I see, I see! Ok, I can stop looking out my window for black helecopters now. LOL

That annoys me a lot as well. What I did that seemed to lessen the problem is to give them different kinds of food. I was only giving organics, mostly grains, as they are cheaper. I decided to change to the regular food, but buy one of each kind; since I started doing that they are not sick all the time anymore.

I had a great time playing VF 1, but I must confess I'm not liking VF2 that much. There's the illness issue, everything is really expensive. I'm on my 15th generation and I could only afford 2 house upgrades so far.

I think the thing that irritates me the most is when someone is sick Grrr! :p

Yep!!! That's true! *lol* One thing that helps is (that's what I call addiction to a game! *lol*)

Although I'm glad the bleed over bug is on the list, I'm having a lot of fun with the bubble machine. I placed it on top of the shower in one family and turned it on. Now the rest of the families have a bathtub with bubbles pouring out of them.

My pet peeve is that they are always in the kitchen having a snack or heating up food.

Have you tried using the red glove or salty candy on them when they do that love?

No, I never scolded them when they are in the kitchen snacking. I will try that.
