In every VV game, the skeletons vanish after roughly 24 hours if they are not given a proper burial. The mechanism for recording a peep's information has varied from chapter to chapter, though. VV5 isn't the first game with the possibility of losing a villager's memory - all the way back in VV1 (and Village Sim) it was possible to lose departed peeps if the cemetery wasn't discovered in time.

Arthur likes to give players choices in how to play the games, along with the trade-offs that come with those choices. For players who really care about preserving the memory of their villagers, the mausoleum can be completed very early in the game, but at the cost of delaying other advances and making survival a bit more difficult. For players who would rather focus on other things, the mausoleum can be delayed until much later in the game, but at the risk of losing some villager's memories.

This is one I have not seen yet. My tutorial is stuck on, "Teach one of your villagers to research." I have tried dragging three villagers to the research table. They have all obtained the title of "trainee scientist" but the question does not go away.

Have any of them been chased away from the lab yet?

I don't think so

Try making sure that there are heathens to chase them away, and the tutorial will tell you about that and move on.

I am running on windows 7 64 bit os. I have a mother that was 20 years old and she is now 23 and still is nursing the twins. Still has a 123 minutes to go. ran half the day before game was paused. Will she eventually let go of the kids?

I lured the rascal into the lab with butterflies and once he chased the scientists around it moved on. Thanks for the help

niceb2u, please see this topic for several possibilities and solutions.

I'm seeing a similar bug. Often times when I use a god power on pause, the power doesn't actually activate and the game thinks I did. However, when I unpause, the god powers don't activate. Quitting and restarting fixes the problem. I actually encounter it when I use the butterflies or bees.

Were you two paused when you used the god power? I suspect the issue is with a paused state.

Edit: Oh yea, Windows 7 here as well.

I have a villager that got pregnant even though I was at my limit of 95. She in stuck at 123 minutes of nursing and has been for several days. I rejuv'ed her and she is now a 5 year old carrying a baby and is still stuck at 123 minutes (I am at the fastest setting). Any one else have a villager stuck with a child. She is not the heathen Mom that I converted as that turned out to be a guy.
