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.

• If a person’s energy is down, either give it an energy drink or keep letting it take naps or go to bed (it might take a few times).
• If a person’s happiness is down, buy new things for it, praise it, feed it, clean the house, and don’t use the scolding hand.
• If it’s hungry, buy food at the store.
• If it’s health is down, make it take a shower, clean the house, or use a towelet or hand sanatizer.

Leaky Sink

Drop an adult on the bathroom sink and then drop him/her on the workshop. He/she will get a wrench and fix the sink.

Leaky Water Hose in Back Yard

1. Purchase the waterproof tape in the store.
2. Click it on the hose.
3. Drop an adult on the kitchen sink to get a drink (this will reduce the water pressure).
4. Drop the adult on the hose to repair it.

Bird Bath in Front Yard

1. Purchase the fountain pump kit in the store.
2. Click it on the bird bath.
3. Drop two adults on the bird bath to install the pump (it’s too heavy for just one adult alone).

Holes in the Floor

1. Purchase floor repair kit in the store (good for only one repair each).
2. Click it beside one of the holes in the floor.
3. Drop an adult on the hole to begin repairs.

Note: This is a long-term project and takes awhile to complete.

Workshop Wall

1. Once you have repaired the hose in the back, purchase the wall compound from the store.
2. Drop it near the bucket by the sandbox.
3. Drop an adult on the wall compound.
4. He/she will mix the compound with water and carry it to the workshop wall.
5. Be sure to stay on top of the person because if they stop, the compound will dry up and you’ll have to start over again.
6. It also helps to put more than one person on the wall.

Blocked Toilet

Drop an adult on the toilet and he/she will fix it right away.

No Internet

Drop an adult on the computer to fix the router.

Repair Door to Shed

1. Drop an adult on the gold doorknob in the sandbox. He/she will put it on the shed door.
2. Drop adult on the welcome mat to retrieve the key. He/she will unlock the shed door.

Dryer Lint is on Fire

After getting the shed open, you’ll find fire extinguishers inside. Use them on the dryer.

Oven is on Fire

After getting the shed open, you’ll find fire extinguishers inside. Use them on the oven.

Water the Flowers

You have to have already repaired the hose and opened the shed for this one.

Drop an adult on the path outside the living room window so he “sees the window boxes.” He will fetch a watering can from the shed, fill it at the back hose, and then water the flowers.

Cleaning Cobwebs

If you drop an adult on the right side of the bathroom sink 2 or 3 times, eventually he/she will jump around and clean cobwebs.

Clogged Shower

Drop an adult on the shower, then drop him/her in the laundry room on top of the bucket that contains the plunger.

After you have replaced the door knob on the shed and unlocked the shed(key under the welcome mat) you can access the sheds contents… these include a watering can to water the flowers (after you have repaired the hose) and fire extinguishers. In case of fire simply head out to the shed and grab a fire extinguisher, your little guy will take it from there. Don’t forget to praise him/her for a job well done.

Also you can use the following cheat.

When any appliance is on fire (cooker, dryer, etc) then just quit the game and when you restart the game again you have no fire and you can carry on with your work without the little guys screaming about the fires.
