Virtual Families Cheats

1. Unlike in the Virtual Villagers games, it won’t do any good to drop the adults onto each other over and over to produce a baby.
2. When the adults try to make a baby, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
3. After having a baby, the game will tell you if it’s too soon to have another.
4. The youngest child has to be 2 to 4 years old before another baby will come.
5. Twins start coming in the second generation.
6. Purchase the Baby Boost medicine to increase the chances of having babies, but use only once as multiple uses will decrease its effectiveness.
7. A couple can have a maximum of six children.

Q: How do I get my people to chase gophers?
A: This is something they do on their own. To get the trophy for chasing gophers, praise someone while “playing on the lawn” when there are gopher holes present.

Q: At what age do women stop having babies?
A: As in Virtual Villagers 2 and 3, females cannot have babies after age 50. Even in their 40s, it’s difficult.

Q: Can children work once they reach age 14?
A: They can do adult chores and activities, but they can’t work to earn money. Only the parents work on careers for money.

Q: What happens to the siblings of the child I chose to continue the family?
A: Nothing happens to them. They remain on the family tree, but they don’t reappear in the game and you cannot play them after they have not been chose.

Q: If one of my children goes with the talent scout, will he/she come back?
A: No, they won’t come back until you start the next generation. They’ll be available along with the other children to take over the house when the time comes.

Q: Will the children come back after going to college?
A: No, they don’t come back from college. Same as with the talent scout, they will only be available to take over the house after the parents die.

We get spring cleaning and return the TV remote.

Q: How do I get rid of hiccups?
A: Have your person get a drink of water in the kitchen or in the bathroom.

Q: How do I pause the game?
A: Use the space bar.

Q: How high do the career levels go?
A: Careers top out at level 8 (master).

Q: How do I play multiple families?
A: Click the player name on the menu screen and you will be given the option to start other families.

Q: What happens to the money in the bank when the parents die?
A: The money will transfer to whichever child takes over for the new generation.

Q: How do I get my family to prepare a meal?
A: Drop an adult on the kitchen table.

1. Collectibles can now be gathered by either children or adults.
2. When you pick up a duplicate collectible, your person will sell it online for extra money.
3. At the start of the game, only coins and leaves/twigs will show up. Later in the game, bugs start showing up. Finally, late in the game, the pieces of paper show up.

Your family will get sick from time to time and need to be given medicine. This is only for when they are sick, which will show up in the status box at the bottom of the screen, not for when they are weak or tired. You’ll need to figure out what kind of illness they have by picking them up and seeing what is says in the activity box. You’ll also hear a sound (coughing, sneezing, hiccupping, groaning) to help identify the illness. You may have to pick them up several times before you see the activity.

Here are the illnesses and the cures:

1. Hiccups: Get a drink of water either from the kitchen or bathroom sink.
2. Coughing: Purchase antitussive syrup in the store.
3. Sore throat: Purchase throat lozenges in the store.
4. Sneezing: Purchase antihistamine in the store.
5. Headache: Purchase anti-inflammatory pill in the store.
6. Stomachache: Purchase peptic syrup in the store.
7. Itchy: Purchase cortisone cream in the store.
8. For persistent illnesses or infection purchase penicillin in the store.

For serious illnesses or infections that won’t go away purchase a doctor consultation in the store. You’ll receive an email immediately telling you what the problem is. You may need to purchase Vancomycin in the store for very serious illnesses or infections. Use this only when recommended by the doctor.

Step by step video demonstration on how to accomplish this cheat:

Download high quality video: Virtual Families – 1,000,000 Dollars Cheat (12 MB).

Note: If video doesn’t play you need to install video codecs. I recommend K-Lite Codec Pack Standard.

If you have an overflow on bathtub, sink, etc; before starting create a new account (you do not have to play the account just check back every seven days.) then when you see a leak just go on the second account for about 15 seconds then go back on your account and poof!

If you place 2 people on the coins and collections then they both will pick up one and you get double the money for it! Here is how to do it:

When you see a collectible:

• Press space bar so it pauses the game.
• Drop a person on the collectible.
• Press twice fast the space bar.
• Drop a second person on the collectible.
• Press space bar again.

The two persons will sell the collectible and you win twice the price.
