We understand the desire to have those special purchases in the desktop versions of the game. However, due to the fact that there is no equivalent App Store support available for desktop games, we were unable to include those features in the desktop versions.

We have adjusted the game's internal economic system (e.g. salaries, bank interest, etc.) to compensate for the absence of In-App Purchases, and you should find that the game functions in a similar manner as the original Virtual Families game, while keeping most of the features that are available in the mobile versions.
