You can find a nice tutorial here: mod tutorial . It is in the forums mod section in Virtual Families.

The Virtual Families Mods forum has some tutorials that you can use. The games are so similar that they apply to VF2 as well, although modding the rooms should be easier since the 'rebuilt' rooms are empty

If you are using Windows and the game is installed at the default location the files will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Virtual Families 2\Images. Remember to back up your files before starting anything!

Does anyone have pics of the yard? And what happens if you fill up your yard with stuff. Do the collection items still show up? I have a hammock, big swimming pool, kids pool, the car, some toys and the playhouse! The yard is getting really crowded!

Yes, that happened with VF1 as well.

I've got all those things you mention out in my yard, plus the sand box and the trampoline as well.

The collectibles still show up but sometimes they are partly underneath some of the "furniture" - I'd guess that sometimes they spawn in positions that are completely hidden so we don't see them. In a similar way, socks, wrappers and spots sometimes appear underneath furniture indoors and they're not found unless the furniture is moved (rather like Real Life!).

I have enjoyed reading this topic seeing what others have done with their blank canvas

Here hopefully is my Warm and Tranquil Fish Room

A Terri, that looks great!

I've had a couple of dinosaur bone collectibles spawn at the edge of the swimming pool. Each time the peep I dropped to collect it went right through and landed in the water! The second time it was a rare piece that I hadn't found before. You may have noticed that with new fossil items the peeps take a little longer to dig them up. In this case she disappeared from view completely (not even her head was showing) for 30 seconds or so; I got quite worried!

That is a very calming room. I like it!

Is the rug a mod?

Thank You for your Kind Comments.

Yes the Rug is a Mod. I also changed the table and put up the fish poster.

I have made a couple of other Mods and will attempt to post some of them today. I am a real self taught beginner with Photoshop so not all is perfect I have done my best.

one of the things I loved about playing VF1 was making different Houses and used most of the Mods that had been posted.

To day the Gold Entertainment Room came together see below

What an excellent looking entertainment room you've made! Love your gold wallpaper & rug.

Kids & adults seam to prefer sitting on the back of furniture rather than the actually seat. Too funny...
