    Please update! I'm begging!

    I'm here to beg you to update your first virtual families. I've been playing this game since around the 6th grade and I'm in my third year in collage now. That's around a decade I've been playing it! I don't play much games, only this and sims FreePlay, so if I lose this game I don't have anything else really to play. I've tried your newer versions but the graphics are not the same. I like playing this one since it looks like the games I loved playing in the 90's. Also the newer version is nothing close to reality like this one is, who has chemicals in there house anyways? I got a notification today saying that this game won't be accessible in the next update of the newer iPhones. This makes me sad, I don't want to lose the game I've been playing for so long. I've also noticed that you've never updated this since 2011. I'm not saying you should update all the time, just enough where the people that love This version of the game won't lose it. So I'm begging you, please please update this game! For all your original fans! Please update and thanks for hearing me out.

    Beat game EVER!!!!!

    I loooove it! So much better than the lite version. You should totally get it  but it does have some weird things. Like right now my family has five kids, and two if them are named Rio. Why would two kids have the same name? Also I bought some perfume in the store and tried to give it to one of the 17 year old girls and she got mad and started running away. Why??? Also to the guy below me: get money by making the adults do their jobs. Also keep your yard clean. There's tons of ways to earn money. You recieve prize money in the mail sometimes and people can give some to you, like for birthdays and stuff. Also here's a big secret: if you change the time on your iPod or iPhone, your virtual family time will change too. So if you set it to a few hours later or longer, you can go back with lots more money. But it can make them sick sometimes and run out of food too, cus you don't visit them for awhile. Cus you changed the time. So I don't do that anymore since it has flaws, but it can definately get you thousands of dollars.

    FUN FUN FUN FUN!!!!!

    This game is so so so so so so FUN!!!!! GOOGLE AMOUNT OF STARS!!!! Ok. If you play it a lot it does get kind of boring. I played it a lot and I got really bored, so I thought to myself, "why don't I try not playing it as much?" And it worked!! Everyday after school I look at it, find all the kids (or parents), have the parents "try to make a baby" (lol) n if it doesn't fail, I GET HAPPY!!! Er.... Happier. Lol xD I check the emails, Have one of the parents (or kid that's old enough) make a meal. It is so fun!! And then later on... I check it again!! :D Anywho, What is the paint in the store for? Lol can you ppl (people) see I like to talk? Lol xD ANYWAYS!! Seriously, what is it for? If someone cud (could) help me that'd be great!

    😊VIRTUAL FAMILIES!!!!😊

    Virtual families is a GREAT game! First of all, you get to adopt a parent...doesn't matter...girl/boy! Then you clean house like: clean dirt smudges, put away socks, throw away wrappers, and return the TV remote to the coffee table!! Then there's outside work....u have to pull weeds! After a little while you should get an email and it should show a man/woman..and it says would you like to marry or reject...I normally click marry! Once they get married you should try having a baby by putting the man on top of the woman and it should say embracing..so keep doing that until it says trying to make a baby and if they do have a baby she holds it in her arms for a few hours! You can have a limit of 6 children! The only sad thing is that your parents die at 60 but can also stay alive longer...but once they do you move onto your generation with your kid! *keep in min that your kid has been to college and now is an adult!* this is SUCH a fun game! I'm addicted! If you have any troubles just go on the Internet! I suggest you get this app!!!...100 STARS!!!...(I wish!) (:

    Spoiler Alert!

    Help!!!!! How do you have twins or triplets?!?!?!?! Also, my shower is clogged, how do I fix it?!?!?!?! Plz help! Besides that, it is an amazing app and u should get the lite version first to see how you like it. I have a 27 year old adoptee, a 27 year old adoptee's husband, a 2 year old son, and a newborn baby (gender unidentified) in the game and I've only had the full version for about 18 hours. This is an adventurous and exciting app like no other. I suggest you download this app right now!!!! Also, (at Beckov66) to fix your little problem with the groceries, drag them to the groceries and let go. If they start putting the groceries away, praise them and they will do it more often. Keep praising them and they will go put the groceries when you place it on the table. I hope I have helped you. I have heard that you can have twins and triplets by "trying to make a baby" when the sink is leaking, but I've also heard that to have twins or triplets, it takes luck. I hope I have helped anyone who has had a question about these things.

    Love it but some Suggestions

    I love everything about the game. Adding the night and day thing really was a good thing! I think you should do the following things to improve this game. 1. You should be able to change the names. That would be really nice because some of the names are stupid like "Purple". Who name there child a color. 2. You should be able to change clothes. Instead of buying just 1 outfit to were, once you buy a outfit you can switch between outfits instead if buying 1 because everyone doesn't get a lot of money all the time. Especially if they have 6 kids. 3. The people shouldn't always die at 65. It always a bummer when both of the parents die at the same time. That hardly ever happens in real life. Sometimes they should die later or earlier to like sicknesses like cancer heart problems. This will make the game seem mor realistic. 4. The family should be able to have parties. So when the child or adult birthday comes their friends can come over and give that person money. 5. You should have a furniture store. Instead off just a new flat screen and mp3 why not buy a new couch or something. 6. Instead off the adult having the baby right away. Why don't you make her have to wait to have a baby. Like if the do conceive a child then she has to bare the child before she gives birth. It will make this game seem more realistic. Well that's all I got. I hope you take my ideas into consideration.

    suggestions

    It would be great if you could: 1) take the family on a spaceship and travel the galaxy 2) allow them to go through military training and fight in wars 3) fight zombies and save the world from annihilation 4) race cars in the Indy 500 5) build their own helicopter and help the police fight crime from the air 6) make them a basketball team and play against NBA players 7) teleport them to Skyrim so they could slay dragons 8) give them swords so they could practice fencing 9) allow them to become jewel thieves and steal precious gems 10) have the parents become superheroes so they can fly 11) instead of just the one house have them live in hundreds of places all around the world 12) the entire family should obviously be secret service agents and protect the president 13) have Wolfgang Puck become their personal chef and cook all the meals while he's dressed like Big Bird 14) make them cannibals 15) the money that is earned actually results in a personal check sent to our home address 16) have them magically turn each bag of garbage into a lepracaun who gives them 10,000 wishes 17) at least one child should be born with antlers 18) allow them to be contestants on a wacky Japanese game show 19) have the pets turn into gorillas who drive them in golf carts to visit Narnia 20) all children under 5 should turn into werewolves every two days and eat one of the older kids

    🍓Summer Girl🍓

    Hi! First of all I am a virtual families addict! I can answer all questions so put 🍓Summer Girl🍓 help! In you title and I promise I will be able to help. 💑 To "make a baby" is simple. You take the male or female ( doesn't matter) and drop the on each other until they say " trying to make a baby". Usually after they do that they have a child but not always. Don't be discouraged. Your iPod game does not despise you, it just happens. They will usually say not feeling fresh after that. They are not able to " try to make a baby" until the kid they just had is at least 3 or 4. It just depends. Of you people say "not feeling up to it" when you try to make a child then they are either hungry and probably out of food or sick. That is just a sample. If you have any questions do what I said to do earlier. Thanks! Always Helpful, 🍓Summer Girl🍓

    How to fix things

    This is a really good game and many people have been asking how to fix the leaky sink. It's really easy just drag an adult over into the work room and on the back wall the is something that looks like a tool chest and drag your person on it then it will say "fixing the leaky faucet" 'voila you sink is fixed If you want to fix the workrooms wall then you must first have the wall repair and the water proof tape. Place the items by each hose according to where the item is needed. Put and adult in the shower then put another adult by the top hose With the tape and the will be taping the faucet. Then both hoses will work and you can fix the wall it will take many layers like fixing the floors does. If you have and other questions please label it as ASK CALLIE and I will respond ASAP:) I have been playing for a while and know lots of tips and tricks

    Awsome

    This Is an awsome game but I think that you should be able to move to another house! And redo your rooms or add more rooms you should also have a car where they could go to the mcdonalds drive thru or you could say go shopping and you see them at the grocery store buying stuff also there should be a pet shop! Just ideas though. And I think that you can have any amount of kids like if one goes off to collage they can come back and visit every one in a while or granparents can visit and there should be holidays like on Christmas you see them set up the tree then get there presents or on holoween you see the kids going around they neighbor hood getting candy and the kids should be able to go to other peoples houses or there friends from school come to their house! I'm just listing all the ideas I just thought of so ... Yeah this game is so epic but I was just stating my ideas!

    Don't use cheats unless you want your family to age

    Ok so I used the second cheat on the 30th review and I went back to 2000 in my date an time settings. Then I switched it back to 2016 and all of my family was sick and about twice the age they were before I used the cheat. Saphetta and Akolo were 40 when they had been 31 before. Sophiania was 6 and then out of nowhere she was 13! Balolo was 5 and then he was 12! And Bretta was a cute little two year old but after the switch she was 9! This DEFINITELY taught me that even in a game money isn't everything. Besides that I love the game and I am addicted to it. And so now I have Trishella who is 27 and nothing compared to Saphetta my first ever person on the full version. Ok so now it's been. Few days and I have grown to love Trishella, Cirrus, Nappa, Soonaina, Luciana, Adopted daughter Soony, Basilian, and Boots. Can't wait to choose my next generation!

    Kinda boring

    At first this game was super fun. But after a while it got kinda boring. You should be able to travel over the town and visit people. Your kids should be able to interact with others. One day when I was playing it said that if I send my kid to finish school in a different country it would give me $500. I agreed. I thought that they would have the kid send emails or something. At first I had the free version, and I wanted to update it. But there were no buttons on the app to do so, and I had to restart. Which made me mad because I was really far in the game. The little people should also be able to move faster. When my whole family died it got rid of all the pets, achievements, and updates I had for my house. I think that those updates should stay with you no matter what. One time I had a family, and I tried lots of times for them to have a kid but it never worked. Even after I bought the baby booster. They should also connect Virtual Families to Game Center, because it has achievements. Once these issues are fixed I will rate it a 5.

    Unfortunately, It Has Gotten Boring

    I have had this app for a VERY long time and have gone MANY, MANY generations. At the beginning it was fun, I loved playing with my little people and helping them through their tiny lives. I loved the of each new little kid and the renewal of hope as each new generation was started. I'd help the newer people on the comments all the time, I had a fairly popular questions thing. But after maybe 15 generations and almost all of the awards you can get, it got boring. I checked on it less and less, often times the distance in between the time I checked was so much that all my kids would have moved out and gone to college ( they were babies and very young the last time I checked) and the parents would be old and dead. The house would be covered in trash and dirt and socks and the yard was weed world. So I would choose which kid would inherit the house, they would be depressed because of the recent death and the huge mess, and have them start cleaning it. When they got a spouse the spouse would help clean too. By then they'd be very tired. I would just make them have a kids then I'd go on to do other apps and have a very long time between then an the next time I checked "for old times sake". It turned into a vicious cycle so I just wanted to warn all of you that love it, this happened to me, and my two friends with the iPod/ iPhone version who I got to play, and the friend with the iPad version, so beware.
