So in previous games there were certain aspects that made the game more enjoyable and more worth playing- having to buy groceries and medicine. The flea market so you could get things on sale, you could cook for your family and place them at the table to make them eat (can’t do that in this yet and my kids just starve until they are old enough to cook, even if I can get an adult to set the table nobody will eat) can change their careers and actually had to log some time to get their careers higher level. it made it so you’d actually want to play it a few times a day, make sure your little people are good!Currently I don’t have any real reason to play it everyday. I just kinda wait until my people are old, log in occasionally to collect their gold and start a new family. Sometimes my people get stuck with certain bars like hygiene at 0 and even when I make them shower it won’t go up, OR they refuse to showerI do love how the kids don’t immediately leave when they are 18, building your own home is super fun! the contests are a cool concept along with the neighborhoods! Great features. I can see the game is still being developed so I will continue playing I just hope to see some of the old features make a come back in this game to make it more enjoyable.

I’ve been playing the VV/VF games since I was 10 and I’m 24 now, I have nothing but love for them. This newest installment shows a lot of promise and there’s tons innovation like letting you build your own house from the ground up and having a whole neighborhood to look after but unfortunately this game at the moment is a glitchy mess. First the placement of rooms, windows, and doors is horrifying! You can’t rotate rooms, remove windows, or move the placement of doors. This leads to awkward routing, windows in the internal rooms of the house, and a door leading to the outside in your literal bathroom! Being able to place doors yourself needs to be at the absolute top of your list for the next update. Also placement of objects is glitchy, counters don’t touch the walls, inability to place towel holders, and your toilet shrinking in size when you try to change its direction, it’s all so silly. Also I’ve had a creepy glitch where all my family members upon being adopted get these ugly red/pink eyes that are unsettling to look into. Please focus on fixing building tools and maybe even adding more interaction between family members. In the earlier VF games there was movie nights, parents encouraging children to brush their teeth, and calling everyone to sit down for a nice meal. VF communities makes everyone feel like roommates living together. Once again my review comes with nothing but love, y’all made my childhood but I also know you can do a lot better!

Virtual families games have always been a fun way for me to kill time since I was in middle school! I love the decorating concept etc. but the game is still in its really early stages and can be very glitchy. The main annoying glitch is furniture clipping, so if you put something on a table it will clip after some time and all of the things you put on a table etc just disappear under the table. It can be pretty frustrating and it happens almost immediately if you go to paint the walls or floors etc. so it'd be great if that can be fixed so furniture stays where it is put including on tables. Additionally the game can glitch in general I had it happen where blur effect stays in an area, babies that are suppose to be born glitch away if you move them occasionally etc. more furniture options would be great too but again I know it's still early! Lots of potential and so far fun but the glitches can really be frustrating at times. ALSO the contests are so glitched anytime I go to vote it's the same two images FOR EVERY-PERSON. Makes me feel likes it's bot accounts? But makes no sense how every person uploaded same image with same people etc.

I like the game a lot because I enjoyed virtual families 3, but there are a few things that are a little buggy like random doors you can't fix, not being able to rotate rooms to your desired liking, the people constantly get stuck on nothing, or there aren't certain walls in the bathroom where you'd be able to place towels or mirrors etc, only one person eats at the dinner table when a meal is made and sometimes it isn't even the person that made the meal, there are no pets, and the plot is kind of small I don't know if it gets bigger when you move but I can't tell as I'm still in a low level lol, and the parents sleep in the kids bed room, when they are using the rest room or dirty dancing the blur is a little excessive the way it stretches when you move the screen or whatever, the dad is also putting on making but I can't judge... and again no pets😔😔 (I want a fur baby so badlyyy) but I didn't make this review to complain I actually like the game a lot I just know it would be a lot more fun with more opportunities!! Take care!
