christina_ne, about your #7, the mom carries the child until it is two. I have gotten used to the mom carrying around the child since I've played just about all the Villager games.
Also, about the washer and dryer, I like how you are not able to buy everything at once. It restrains you from buying luxury items, so you will pay more attention to your family's needs.
I liked your suggestions and agree they should lower some prices a bit.
I would like to see paint made available in the game. I don't necessarily like all the colors of the walls and carpet.. Also, I think it would be cute for the family to have a small garden. This would help players save money on food; if the garden would allow to harvest vegetables.
Nora Willow,
I also own & have played all the VV & VF games, I just love them! Thanks for your reply & info about the nursing time.
I like your ideas, especially about having a garden. That is an option that would could really improve the game. You could even have the option to sell your home grown food at the flea market. Along with that option, we could sell items we no longer want.
Your idea about having the option to change the color of the rooms and floors is great too. Having the option to change the color of the room could be done as a task our families can do--like in the original game, when they would fix the fountain, hose, & workshop wall. I really miss having those tasks to complete. This would be a way to bring that back!
In response to the nursing moms, I just meant the time frame for a mom to nurse/care for her child should be shortened to reflect real life. In real life, a mom does not exclusively nurse/care for her child--carrying it the entire time--& then have to wait until it is 2 before she could return to work, especially when her job is in her home.
Great Ideas. Thanks Norma,
Christina

Love this game more than VF1 - more to do. Would like more interactive furniture/toys/accessories/etc. Thought the carousel would turn, but it doesn't! Wanted hammock to be used as it is in VF 1. My people won't stay on it. Would love to be able to turn on the lamps. Would also love if I could be given a choice when I use the adoption upgrade! Also, how about being able to get twins if I pay double! Would love to be able to buy clothes and keep them in a closet so that I can change their clothes as I like.
Love the sandbox, pool, play kitchen, drums, easel! But don't like that the car just stays there - thought it would move! Love being able to pick up the pets, feed them, and pet them. Love that the moms cuddle their babies.
Please add more furniture, toys, accessories, collectibles to the games as time goes on.
One of my families had six kids, both husband and wife became masters in their occupation, had the dinosaur certificate, and had $40,000 in the bank before the second generation! Was very pleasantly surprised!!!
spygirl2,
You are correct:
1) the carousel does not turn. For an item that is so big, I would think that it would turn.
2) The car does not move. Battery operated cars that kids can actually drive does actually exist. They could have it installed automatically (like career upgrade items) on the walkway. It could drive from one end of the walkway to the other end, then disappear & reappear at the beginning of the walkway, to then start over again.
3) The hammock does not work like it did in VF1. Our family members could rest in it & regain energy or health from being tired or sick like taking a nap on the couch.
It would be nice to have decorative items for the house to put on the fireplace, kitchen hutch, dressers, & walls. I use the stuffed animals & the small fish bowl to decorate the walls & other items since there is currently nothing else to use.
A virtual closet would be awesome. Once we change our family's clothes, that outfit just disappears & you have to repurchase it if you want to use it again--if it does reappear in the store again! Having a virtual closet would be a great addition!
Expanding our collection would be great. At present, whenever someone comes to buy my collection, I will sell mine & start over just to keep it going! There are all these different colored butterflies flying around, maybe we could use them as part of the collection. Flowers would also be another great idea. As the family waters their flowers, new ones could bloom. Another great idea would be to have a twist of Plant tycoon, but just on a way smaller concept--you would have a virtual flower garden where you could breed different flowers in hopes of collecting all the different flowers!
All Good suggestions! I will post this in a separate post in hopes they will see it better!

(a) There already are different colored butterflies flying around, maybe we could use them as part of the collection.
(b) Flowers would also be another great idea. After it rains or after the family waters their flowers, new types of flowers could bloom. OR you could have a twist on Plant tycoon, but just on a way smaller concept--you would have a virtual flower garden where you could breed different flowers in hopes of collecting all the different flowers! Your flower garden would show up in the yard as a small square with tiny flowers in it or as a simple menu option within the store & once you click it, it would activate the virtual flower garden.
