Tips
This game is amazing but here is some tips for new players
To open the shed one doorknob is in the sandbox and one is under the welcome mat
To fix the hose put waterproof tape on it but make sure someone is using the sink or shower to be able to do it
To fix the birdbath put the green plumbing thingy by it and put two grown ups on it they will fix it
To fix the garage walls put the paint by the hose and bucket near the sandbox and put them on it they will eventually fix it but don’t take to long or it will dry up
To fix the holes in the floor there will be kits in the shop sometimes to p

Awesome!!
This game is Awesome!!! Definitely worth the money!! I just have a couple tiny issues with the naming process… I have three kids and two of them are named the same name. There aren't enough plates of a family of 5 or more people and there aren't enough stools for 6 or more people. If you would fix this this would be the best game ever.

Things I like and dislike
Likes: entertainment, creativity, groceries, medicine, baby's, and it's just so fun!
Dislikes: DEATH WHY WHY WHY CANT THEY JUST LIVE FOREVER? When they die it makes that music and shows a sunset in a jungle or something and I JUST KEEP TAPPING OK AND NOTHINGS WORKING! Once I saw a ghost sitting in my bed AND I WAS SCARED FOR LIFE, and also I dislike how sometimes theyre sad and there's no way to fix it.

Love it❤❤❤❤
I this game is AWSOME and I mean it but I have bought all the home improvements and the career room updates and I have way over $1036342 and I'm almost finished the trophies. Almost all my babies are boys and the ugliest kids get the most money. And in the varied items it won't restock and all that's there is the clothes and I need to fix my floor but I can't. I would recommend this game it's GREAT

Nice but....
A nice game but it will b better if we could have more than two generations living together. When the children grow up, we can only choose one of them and kind of start from the beginning. Hope we could have more generations and then built the house bigger and bigger. Really want to have tones of people living together.

Awesome
It would be cool if the people had birthdays. So u know when u have to move on to the next generation and choose one of the kids, it would be cool if the person u choose could visit his or her siblings or be able to interact with them so they also can have children. And it would be cool if the parents wouldn't die untill they r like really old so the kids hav grandparents that would give them money and toys and stuff. And this is my review 😃

Calling
It would be cool to have phones and you have a phone number and you can call people if you know there phone number. Also you can type what you want to say and it will recieve to the other person and they can respond to it. So lets say I know someone's number and I called them they are not there then there is a maximum of 10 secs before it hangs up and you can leave a voice mail. And it will also be cool to have it like if I say come to my house and if the say yes then they have to walk to there house and each personae has there own address and when they say yes then the control the persone/fam

Whenever I try to move my little people the game freezes!!!!! It is really annoying and it disables me from playing the game. I hope that this is just a little problem that goes away by tomorrow but if it isn't please fix this!!!!!!!!! Also could we play with our pets??? I really want to and could we name them too????? Or maybe we could have up to two pets instead of one. Thatd be cool. I really hope the creators get this review I really want that problem fixed! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
