Virtual Families v0.92 [BETA] | Genre: Real Time Simulation | 53.4 MB
Virtual Families simulates a small family, allowing the player to care for and nurture this family. As with all of LDW’s games this game runs in true real-time, both when the game is running as well as when it is not. Built on the framework of the landmark casual game series gross valentino Virtual Villagers, the game will feature a gorgeous hand-drawn scrolling map with a house and garden, sophisticated artificial-intelligence, and a charming and varied selection of families to customize and take care of.
I've been playing this for a few hours now with 3 familes. It seems like you start off with such a little amount of money and it takes forever to earn any to buy anything.
Has anyone figured out how to get your peeps to use the hoses? I bought the tape thinking maybe my guy would fix the leaking one at the rear of the house but he is clueless on what to do.
Thank you so much! I love this sort of games. Also, for all of you who are not patient (I know I'm not) there's a very simple way to skip ahead in all these real time running games: just change ahead the date/hour on your computer clock, exit the game (which will save the changes) and then change the date back again. Usually, when i used this trick with the Lost Villagers series, I only changed the date/hour back when i stopped playing for that day (I kept going forward, so I wouldn't change the date/hour a million times). Hope it helps.
It's the beta version so I think there are still a few kinks they need to work out. My peeps get promotions and paid but the amount isn't added to the household funds. Seems the only way to get money is to find coins and such and sell them.
I'm hoping to see a lot more interactions when the final game is released.
to put out the fire in the oven just keep putting your person by the stove, after many times one will go out by the shed and get a fire extinguisher. does any one know how to fix the leaking sink in the kitchen? thanks
Thanks for telling me how to put out the fire in the oven. I have the same problem with sleeping. My Peeps are always tired or exhausted. Then they get sick and the meds don't match to the ailments.
Just tried to open my game and got a message that version has expired. What does it mean?
Just tried to open my game and got a message that version has expired. What does it mean? reply to the question: it's a bta version it has a limited time play .. several days .
PS: I also bought the water pump but the fountain doesn't work!
Other things: - one of my adult is fixing the cracks in the floor with a specific kit I bought but it seems that it takes too much time... Did anybody experiment the same prob?
- one of my children has just gone to college: does anybody know if she will be back or is gone forever?
Nara67, [/b]the shed[b]:put an adult on the right corner of the sandbox.he will pick up a tool saying ''fixing the .....''.after the shed's door is fixed put an adult on the ''welcome carpet''(at the entrance) to retrieve the key.and the shed is opened.
sorry for being late with the answer
fixing the cracks in the floor takes a lot of time.you must put an adult there 20-25 times,i did not count
''- one of my children has just gone to college: does anybody know if she will be back or is gone forever?'' answer:after the married couple dies(at the age of 60-70)you will be asked to start a new generation with one of the children.and he/she will get married,have children....you know the story
cartenw, water fountain pump: put 2 adults there to do the job (you put the pump near the fountain,then put 2 adults)
Nara67, -water fountain pump: put 2 adults there to do the job (you put the pump near the fountain,then put 2 adults) -fixing the cracks in the floor takes a lot of time,you must repair maybe 20-25 times until is finished -'' one of my children has just gone to college: does anybody know if she will be back or is gone forever?'' after the married couple dies,you will be asked to start a new generation and you must choose just one of the children(and he/she will get married have children...) i hope this helps!!
Nara67, for the hose with water:you have to buy a green tape from the store and then place it near the hose; then put a person in the shower/sink(to release water preasure)and in the same time put someone on the hose to repair it the hose with bucket: after you repaired the first hose,buy paint from the store and place it near the bucket,then put an adult on the bucket and he will take the bucket and paint the workshop i hope this helps
Sorina: latte is an italian word for "milk", so I guess it could have smth to do with the coffee machine in the kitchen and a specific object one can buy at the store. The problem is that in this game very often some objects of the store that are needed to achieve some specific task (exemple: the green tape to fix the hose is not available anymore...) suddenly disappear from the list...
does anyone know if they stop having babies when they get older my people are both 50 an i have been tring to have another kid sence they turned 40 but no luck my kid is 17 teen an will soon be off to collage an will have none to take over when my parents die.i treid the needle from the store but still no luck not sure what to do.any help with what to do.thank you.
cartenw, put your little person in the bathroom by the sink and then put him or her in the shop by the yellow looking wood drawers, he or she will then go over to the red tool boxes and pick up a wrench. then he or she will go back to the bathroom sink and fix the leak and clean up the water. good luck! thanks every one for the wonderful sharing job! it is nice to know we all can be decent and help each other! a really big thanks to the team at down turk, without you all we would not be playing the game at all!
missychelle, have you patted them with the reward glove after you put them to bed? i also bought the hammock and they will sleep on it. always reward them with the green glove and they will keep doing the things you like. good luck
cartenw: after solving the 2 hoses puzzle (see above, Sirina's post), send one person to the shed and put it on the watering cans. The person will start to water the flowers (and the ones in the window boxes too)!
i downloaded the game and have been playing it but all the wall in the house are down and i dont know how to put them up and becuse of that i cant fix the wall with the wall compound cause i cant see where its damaged plus when i look at the help menu it gives me help on virtual villagers not virtual families please help
Unfortunately, praising them to sleep is not working. I have been praising tem like crazy and they still don't stay asleep. :( My people are constantly exhausted. Could it be just a bug that will be fixed in the full version? Anyone have any other suggestions?

actually, the wall is already like that.. after u have fixed the water hose, buy the tool to fix the wall.. put the tool near the bucket (near the sand).. put ur peep n he/she will begin fixing the wall..
TO FIX SHOWER - MAKE SURE AN ADULT HAS SEEN THE BROKEN SHOWER, BY PUTTING THEM NEAR THE SHOWER, THEN PICK THEM UP AND PLACE THEM NEAR THE BUCKET IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM.
I CANT FIND ANY BUGS FOR THE COLLECTIONS CAN ANY ONE HELP?
I am having a problem with the remote control...I don't know what happened but it disappeared...it is true...I put a "person"in every inch of the house and garden and they dont find...maybe it has fallen behind the walls where I cant see...anyone knows anything to help me????
thanks
About the bugs....they just appear very occasionally...you need to wait...wait...wait...and check everywhere
the remote control disappeared in one of my families too. it was on the livingroom floor, i made the woman pick it up an than "praised" her for that behaviour. she happily jumped up and down an the remote was gone :( no chance to get that thing back. so my family has to live without TV, only when I manually turn it on they can watch.
mateisha, change the date of ur computer to some previous date lyk today is 11th make it 1st of april den open the game.....close it and change ur date again
none of my adults is able to extinguish the fire in the dryer. the only person was the 14 years old boy. I showed him the fire, took him to the opened shed and the extinguishers - and he did it ^^ his parents turned away every time i took them to the shed. I dont know why... they look at the red bottles an then decide to wash their feet or read a magazine or whatever -.-
First of all... THANK YOU for this absolutely awesome game I love it I love it, I love it!! XOXoxoXoxoXOXoXOXo Jewels!!
Benita....
When I was installing some video poker game (NOT from here)!!! I had a bunch of alerts pop-up from my anti-virus. Yes, it's overly protective, so when I download from HERE I pass everything through. Yes, my computers health lies in the palms of your hands you guys. :D I ws so used to trusting you guys that I didn't even think not to trust that one other download... *sigh* now my computer won't let me change the time & date!! I'm going to look into it & see how to fix it.
