Hello ErikB. I'm sorry that you're having trouble with Virtual Villagers 5: New Believers. In order to help us understand what may be going on in your game, I'd appreciate it if you could answer a couple of questions:

- What device (or computer) are you playing the game on? (e.g. PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, etc.)
- What operating system is running on the device or computer? (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS 10.8, iOS 7, etc)
- Where did you purchase your game? If you're not sure where, the best way to check is to look in the lower left corner of the game's Menu Screen. The place of purchase should be located after the game's version number. If, for some reason, the distributor is not shown there, you can determine that information by starting the game and watching the intro screens. The first screen is always ours (Created by Last Day of Work). If you purchased the game from another game site, a second screen will be displayed that identifies the game site where you purchased the game.
- What is the version number of your game?
- When you use the Grant Youth power, do you use it on the same villager a number of times or different villagers?
- When you use the different powers, do you use them one immediately after the other, or do you space them out?

Once we have the answers to these questions, we'll be better able to assist you.
