I hope the next update adds a pause button. Sometimes I get kinda lazy when taking care of my town since I have a lot of other games on my phone that I like to play. We really need that pause button xD
I don't like how weeds kill my nice flowers in my garden. Sometimes I forget to water my flowers and I have to temporarily pull the surrounding plants just to get rid of a weed. (Garden is really crowded now thanks to the change in plant breeding!)
Maybe make some changes in how furniture behaves when putting it in the house. My mayor's house is full of furniture and I like tweaking things here and there, so it's kinda annoying when I try and scroll around to take a look at my work and something moves and I have to fix it...
And also, sometimes when my mayor interacts with a piece of furniture like a couch or shelf that's near a wall, it'll move away from the wall and it bugs me a bit xD
-Even better idea concerning furniture, make it so that they behave like town decorations where you can "confirm" where they stay so they stay in one place unless you long tap on them, like locking them in place. That way, nothing will move every time your finger gets close to an object (I have big fingers lol)
We should have more stuff in the store, as in furniture and wall/floor designs. Have a wider selection of objects available in the store at one time- have at max 1-2 beds/couches/chairs, a bookcase, and some misc. items. I don't like how I have to get lucky when trying to find a certain item to decor my house with.
Don't lock us into one room renovation option once we add on a room, give us multiple room choices so that we can expand our houses as we see fit. I like my rooms small and my main room large, for example.
Have the kid actually be useful and fill up any holes we dig/help cut grass, and don't let them get in the way of our work.
More than two tasks per day :3
And one last thing... more story!

I hope you guys add some of these things in the next update or so and thanks for reading my wall of text, lol.

One more suggestion-( Town's kitchen)

Add a common kitchen in the town with a chef. He (chef) can collect veggies from town and prepare food for the townies . whenever townies feel hungry,they can go to the town kitchen and have meal there.

Mayor can pay salary to chef, like 5 or 10 coins per town person.( It's so easy to earn coins in this game , don't know why some players find it difficult to earn coins) .Atleast we can pay him 100 or 200 coins daily if we've all the town people. Or pay per person option is also good for new players.

It would be better for townies to have meal there rather than eating raw vegetables.

And Make it open so we can see townies having meal there.
And chef's look should be different from townies, give him a little funny look.

(Restaurant and coffee shop idea was different from this. It's only townies wish if they want to go there with mayor or other people but in town kitchen they'll have to come daily)

I've so many ideas for this lovely game and I understand you can't add all the things but please try to add as many things as possible.
Thanks.

LOL @ Brook! Great suggestions.

A couple more:
This was mentioned in another thread, but the dark-skinned townies should have more than one hairstyle. The men and women look just alike because they all have the same hairstyle.

Also, prevent this from happening:

@Brook Wow i'm really impressed while reading these. I think you could be a Sour Dictionary author if you would be Turkish

I'd like to be able to sell multiple items at one time without dragging them all to the sell box individually, I get up to 150+ apples some days and it's a pain. Not having to click the "take" box for apples would be nice, too.
I only buy apple trees because they have golden apples, I've gotten up to three a day. There's no advantage to pear or orange trees.
It would also be nice to have a playground for the kids, so playground equipment in the town section would be great!

So here's some pie-in-the-sky thoughts. Some of these might be better for VT II than VT 1.x...

RTS (Warcraft) style clearing and building houses for peeps
By this I mean that there are maybe 4 houses when I start and some clear land, but in order to expand my population, I need to 1: clear a plot 2: pave a road to it (with stones I have hit with my pickaxe) 3: build a house (with trees I have cut down). Houses can go anywhere, either side of the river, as long as there's a road back to the central shopping district.

Houses can have more than one person live in them.
Even after college, I knew pairs of people who lived in 315 sq ft apartments. Perhaps you have to add-on rooms to get more people in the house. This also gives you the option for larger populations.

Peeps who age and retire
The game says everyone gets older, but only the mayor and child do. Even if they just reach 60, 'retire' and are replaced by a new person, it would make them seem less like alien vampires. Maybe even have kids, have more than one person per house. If 3 people

Shopkeepers are peeps as well
When the store or the bank is closed, they should live in houses and offer quests. They should eat.

Peeps should go to the movies
'The Mayor's private cinema' seems economically unfeasible.

Garbage should include popcorn containers and drink cups from the cinema
Near a cinema, it usually does...


Anyway, just a few ideas, from pebbles to boulders...

Hello!

Have been playing since the update and enjoying the new goodies to play with. Cinema worked great for me today and I got a seed as a prize that I have never seen, excited to see what it will be!

One thing I am a little frustrated with is the fertilizer bomb. I love the idea of it, but am disappointed it only works in the house plots or botanical garden. I have a lot of flowers planted around fountains and the ponds. Is it possible in the next update to let them work anywhere, and just limit how much area it covers? I ended up transplanting a ton of flowers today just to be able to use the fertilizer I had bought.

Thanks! Cindy

RAIN-

Please make it rain more often in the town. I don't know when and how does it rain in VT but if it's following weather of player's city then it's not going to rain here for at least next one or two months. Make it rain in town at least 3-4 times a week, no matter where do we live and how is weather conditions there. ( it never rains in my VT)

I want it because-
Firstly I need few bugs which I haven't been getting coz of this rain and secondly I won't have to water my flowers daily.
I've so many flowers planted all over the town.

I hope you understand that it's not easy to water all the plants daily that too twice a day. If they'd need water only once a day that would've been better. I've already sold so many flowers because of this but I don't want to sell them all . They look awesome especially near fountains, Buddha etc.

You've made everything in this game so easy now, so please add this feature also. Either make it rain more often OR plants should need water once a day only OR it would be awesome if you could add both options.

Thanks.

I think the game runs on real time. It rains the same time it's raining in real time. The game is based in CA so I assume it's on the game developers time and weather.

I agree and also to be able to put the same items in the same slot in your inventory, instead of each one going to a different slot.
