Does one have to adopt a child?
I have ignored this but today the town is still on yesterday’s (Wednesday) tasks. There was no new rubbish, weeds, rocks, or buried items today, there was no deposit of interest earnings, the Wednesday merchant is still in his tent, the adoption lady and children are still present, and I have no new Town Hall tasks. Mrs Mottershead suggests that I consider adoption. My mayor is 42.

I do not consider. I’m the Mayor I can prioritise tasks as I see fit.

Is this forcing me to adopt in order to progress the game?


I can still collect bugs and slash grass.
