Virtual Families Cheats

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.
