And here *i* am just 2 weeks into owning it... Hmmm. i hate being the newbie, especially being so old! Hey, if the Games-Mistress reads this, suggestions...

1st, in true life, pets die after only 15 years or so, but ours here at VF last through generations. i know this is odd, but come on, growing up, we always had pet cemeteries... and no i am NOT talking Stephen King, but still, what about that in your next version?

And what is up with the next generation. My mother died 5 years after the father, the boy (6th of the family that i was grooming to be the inheritor) was only 18. yet when i went to make him the inheritor, he was 27...3 years older than the oldest that left for college 22 years before...

And speaking of true to real-time, why is money so odd to figure out. Sometimes, computer is off and i make tons of money for one family and the other - yes, i have 3 games going at the same time - make nothing??? yet their "salaries" are fairly comparable.
