Hi! I am a retired mom and I play a lot of games, but I am by no means expert in all of them! Years ago i played "A New Home" and loved it. I have not played any of the sequels, but when I saw VV2 on my game company"s site, I had to have it. I play on something called a "desktop". I know most games are mobile, but I can't see anything so small, and ads and in-app-purchases drive me bonkers. I would be willing to pay up front to avoid them. So I bought this game, and found out too late that you cannot play it without them. Lavastones are too rare, and crafting is too hard without them.
I am not a person who resorts to cheats and hacks, so I hope that I can get some help here. Thanks!
