Hi :3
So I've been playing VF and VF2, and I've been wondering why the people die earlier than one would expect? Like they die around the age of 60, instead of 70 or 75 like the VV games. I've always thought that the villagers lived longer because they live on a magical island, and due to being on a magical island, they live longer. But that's just my theory... I'm curious as why the people in the VF games live a little shorter than the villagers smile

Are you sure? I always see my peeps die around their early 60's when I open up my game :-/

I mean while they are old when the game is open, when the game is opened while they would normally die they just won't.

It does seem odd that family members live only up to 60 or so. You'd think that they'd live longer than villagers, not shorter, since they have access to modern medicine and so on.

The only reason I can think of is that it can get a little boring when there are just two old people shuffling slowly about the house; with the children gone off to college and careers perhaps mastered there's not much going on. Arthur may feel that it would improve game play to make that period relatively short.

They live longer while they are being played with as in the game being on. I have had peeps live to 67 by leaving the game on. But they will die if the game is closed youngest age for me 57.

I recently had a 67 year old too, his name was Franconc and outlived his wife smile
I can't believe you got a rainbow girl! Was she adopted or a lucky birth? I've never got a rainbow girl in my game, but a few in VF2.

She was the very first person in my mom's computer although I didn't pair her with any rare heads.

I don't mind having just mom and pop living alone if they make good money,lol. I've amassed a fortune by having two parents that make $690 a day,and just leaving them alone for a day a couple of times. With having two families like that I now have almost a million dollars! Now if there were just some interesting new stuff to buy with it!!!!
