planning to buy an ipad in jan. or feb. cause much as love playing the games from LDW on my ipod the screen is just to hard for my old eyes to see well especially collectibles

edit...hence why i prefer the PC versions

I agree that the smaller screens of the iPhone and iPod touch are a bit too tiny for those of us without "eagle eyes" to enjoy the games fully. After owning iPads since the first one came out, it's now my "go-to" device for just about everything. I use my computers mostly for things that aren't possible on the iPad.

i like the concept of being able to buy things through a store like vv origins..... is that functionality going to be available in the PC version?

We can't say at this point. VV: Origins and VF2 are both iOS apps that can utilize the In-App Purchase function of the iTunes Store. There isn't an equivalent "system" for PC versions, and we just haven't determined how we will proceed yet.

hey no worries earning money in game is fun too.... just takes longer to get up grades and stuff to make the peeps happy ;-)

of course that being said this is coming from a person whose favorite use of sims 3 built in cheat system is to give her sims as many simoleons as she can so they never have to worry about whether or not they can get all the recipes and skill books that they want... and i as player can build them the house i want them to have without having to be constrained by limited funds.

Released at least!
See here ,
Currently is only available for iPod and iPhone and according to this is a free app. Is LDW planning to also make it free for Windows/Mac/Linux ?

Yes, Virtual Families 2 is available now for iOS devices!

It has been Arthur's plan for a long time to release the game on mobile first.

You can read more from him here regarding plans to expand to desktop. We create all of our desktop games for Windows and Mac, so those wishing to run our games on Linux computers will need to use an emulator.

I cannot wait for another vv I have so many suggestions on what to add.

Hi Everyone! Happy New Year Just curious if VF2 will be available this month for PC? I know it says early 2013, just curious Thanks

My guess is no.

The preview page says that it's only 70% complete at the moment. Considering it was 90% complete for several months before the release of the iOS version, we probably won't see it for a few months at least. I'd also imagine they are also working hard clearing up a few bugs that have been found in the released iOS version, and on the first content update, before concentrating on the versions for desktop and other devices.

LDW never makes any predictions on release dates - it's too easy for a game-breaking bug to appear and delay a projected release, thus disappointing fans.
