Actually you can keep re-starting them. When you go into "family" you can click on new generation any time before the peep dies and re-select them and it starts the cycle over, or you can pause. Whichever works for you. If you do this multiple times though eventually it will default to one peep no matter who you select. I have two families in 30th generation now, and probably another two by tomorrow morning.

Can you get pass the 30th generation by doing that, FuzzyDice? I had a special naming theme going on with one family, so I was definitely hoping to go more than 30. I'm nowhere near that point yet though.

You can't get past the 30th generation, you can just keep them from dying out until they get the bug fixed. It's just an alternative to backing up and starting over.

After playing like this for a week, I finally had a little girl show up at the door for adoption. She becomes a sibling to the parent(31st Gen) peep in the family tree, but at least its possible to get a new peep.

That's interesting! Still sounds like it's not allowing you to advance to next though? I really hope they will get this fixed.

I just ran into the generation 30 glitch too. When I select a kid to be the new head of the family, it doesn't show on the family list. The kid selected ( who is unmarried) shows she has 3 kids (has none, I just picked her). When I go to Families it now always shows the new generation button. I have restarted several times and the kids now vary from the ones that should be there (my last family's kids) and ones I've never seen before, and they don't have names. Even if you do give one a name and select it, it never appears on the family list, never gets a marriage proposal, etc. Waaa

I hope this is fixed by the time I get there.

Hey, LDW, there are people on all sites complaining about this problem. Are you guys watching and listening? If so, is there a fix in the works? Help us guys. There have been many, many months of time, effort and emotion put into this game not only by me but many of your loyal gamers. Seems a "fix" or some type of suggestions shuld be offered. Thanks in advance for any comment(s) you might throw out to us.

Even just a message saying, "We're still working on correcting this bug, and will get it to you as soon as we're able" would be comforting to hear as a lot of time has passed since this was first reported. If they have no plans to fix this mistake as well, I'd rather hear them say that too, so I know to stop hoping for a fix.

I have 3 families that are now in their 31st generation. In each case, the only person in the family is the one who inherited the house. Also in each case, it says they already have children (whatever number of children their parents had). I am getting no marriage proposals for these people. Could this possibly be because the game sees their status as widowed with children, in which case they would not be eligible for remarriage and more children? Thx for your response.
