ok...im not going to criticize vf1, i expected it to be a 'prototype' and i have no doubt it will improve as subsequent versions come out. so here are my thoughts for vf2-

-reduce cost of home improvements (or find others ways of earning money quicker)

-be able to upgrade all facets of each room (eg instead of upgrading the entire kitchen at once, be able to purchase items like toasters, larger bin, curtains, paint walls etc)

-i like the suggestion of being able to change into swimwear and pyjamas

- be able to build on to the house (maybe build an extra bathroom, patio, bedroom, cinema, cubbyhouse, sewing room - maybe instead of buying clothes, mum can sew them etc)

- a garden where they can grow and harvest their own organics instead of buying them

-the occasional visitor (extra child for a sleepover. visit from college children for a bbq, pool party)

-have a birthday party where someone has to decorate and then clean up afterwards

-enjoy a xmas with a tree & pressies

-buy costumes and send the children out trick or treating

(celebrations can be a choice thing 'its christmas, would you like to put up a tree?' yes or no - so those who do not celebrate these things cant complain they are politically incorrect)

-children to be able to help build things with parents (the birdhouse, a doghouse, letterbox, the fountain)

-be able to buy a lawn mower and mow the lawn

-be able to grow flowers then pick them to put in the house

-love the amount of trophy goals to achieve...great idea

-dont feel the need for a litter box (in real life, my neighbours let their cats do their business in my yard...i assume thats what my vf cat does...goes next door !!!)

I had a similar idea to that (I know I've said it before):
One of the children (or siblings, depending on the case) loses their house, and must move in with the family. That person works with the rest of the family, and their salary is added to the bank. They can end up leaving when they marry or something like that.

Yup.... litter boxes would be okay, just make sure they are OUTSIDE, we wouldn't want our vill- I mean People, to complain about a smelly house.
How about having some family bonding? (I haven't seen much of that, but if I'm wrong, please correct me!) Anyways, Family Movie Night,Family Board Game Time, Craft Time with Mommy, etc.

Let's put some music around our houses.Yup, I mean a piano, the teens playing an instrument in their room,a kid rocking out in their room (ft. an air guitar!)

MY BEST IDEA YET!!
Okay, so randomly in the day, mom has to drive their child to activities (football,soccer,etc.) complete with an outfit.Uh Huh,I mean the mom walks around, puts on a jacket, and leaves w/ a child in a leotard.
Thank for reading this!!

i agree with a comment someone made about when u bring back a new generation, any remaining siblings just disappear - what about opting to retire mum and dad, you bring a new generation back, but any remaining grandparents and siblings continue to live with the new generation. (the 8 person max rule could still apply)

I have a some suggestions. The pets should be able to be fed, have water to drink and paid attention to, taken for walks (dog)and an old shoe to chew, chase the gopher
The cat should have a litter box and toys to play with, chase the bugs, climb a tree. To name just a few. Food and water for the turtle, too.
Money coming in faster and up grades of rooms should not be so expensive.
That is about it. I really do love this game and I am enjoying it very much. Thank you.

I would like for there to be more options in the store. For example, instead of just two outfits, a "clothing store" where I can scroll through all of the outfits, like in VV.

I'd also like for there to be some sort of health tonic for when your people are weak/extremely weak but with no other illness. The tonic should always be available in the pharmacy. It takes an awfully long time to get enough oranges/mangoes/bananas to bring the health bar up, especially when multiple family members are weakened.

I would like the developer consider to have a beep sound when there is collections around in the yard since we cant see the full map of the entire house not like VV we can see. Something like games "the tribe" and "wild tribe".

I don't remember seeing this posted, so sorry if it's a repeat of someone else's idea, but I was just searching for bugs and had a thought for VF2 (which I really hope is being considered, because I love this game!). How about something visual in the house when you complete a collection, instead of just a trophy? I was thinking that when you finish the photo it could appear in the house, either on the wall or in a frame on the parent's nightstand or bookcase/headboard. When you finish collecting bugs you could get a glass case with a butterfly inside, the coins could appear as a leather coin album on the coffee table, things like that. This is hard work to complete collections, and gosh darn it, I'd love something more than a trophy when I'm finally done!

Not everyone who plays this game celebrates Christmas.

Oookey, then we can celebrate other holidays as well; more holidays more fun
