I enjoy the realism and graphics and I’m always excited to see my baby grow up although I believe there should be changes 1. we should be able to read stories to babies we can use the microphone for that but babies learn a lot more when they’re being read to so I believe that should be added to daily goals we can do this by picking up the child or keeping them in their crib and select what story to read and have a narrator read the story so the player doesn’t have to awkwardly use the microphone and deal with being judged by the other people in the room 2. The game needs to be updated for it’s glitches and show the correct language the game can often freeze by having the baby repeatedly move around in your arms unable to stop and stay awake and the game sometimes won’t let you click on things which both need to be fixed for sanity’s sake 3. There should not be a time limit for the last feeding it’s very frustrating having to race for the clock in the latest hour of 10 pm to be able to feed the baby I can understand there being a limit of time in a day to walking in the stroller or with practicing crawling or walking or taking a bath but feedings and diaper changes should be able to be done around the clock until there completed that’s the way baby care is done in real life and it should be the same in this game

Overall this game plays great and is much like the original, however the Gold Edition does have a few minor issues. Certain features are only available in this edition which is why I choose to play Gold over the original, such as feeding your baby in the high chair twice a day in comparison to once. There are way more options and attainable objects and toys in this version but it seems to me that there were oversights in development. First, regardless of what language you choose for the game, each time you complete a task it gives you what I believe is Mandarin. This is a very small inconvenience and easy to overlook. Also, when walking with your baby in the stroller in the park, occasionally there are coins that are impossible to reach to due what was probably an oversight in coin placement on the map when it was ported from the base game. This is also not a deal breaker for me and I find it easy to overlook. Aside from small details like this I find the Gold Edition to be slightly superior to the original game. If you’re willing to look past small issues like these, I recommend this game. I have fun playing everyday.

I just started playing a month or so ago and find the game to be cute and it genuinely has its fun but there are things that need improving and features that could stand implementing. 1. The buttons (bottle, hand, eye, etc) should always have priority over things like the mobile on the crib.2. The walking mini games are either too easy or too hard with no gradual curve. The arrows and move the phone games are brutal compared to the “follow the leader” and “count to 9” games. A little balancing would be nice.3. Once the baby is a toddler (walking) we should be able to let them play on the toys at the park.4. Beds. Kids don’t stay in cribs to age 5.5. Speaking of cribs it seems the development staff either never had kids or their kids were absolute angels because once the little munchkins can stand and “walk” they have a habit of breaking out of cribs. It would be absolutely adorable to load the game up and not see the baby/toddler in the crib but peeking around the corner of the crib because the climbed out while you weren’t looking. Maybe they’re just playing with their toys when you load the game up. You can then pick them up as the giggle and burble and put them back in the crib.6. Daycare. Make it a high price shop item. You buy a daycare ticket and the baby is taken care of for 4-5 hours. While in day care random things get checked off the to do list. No coins earned but half parent points are still gained7. Once the baby is old enough, let us link to the ilive 2 and transfer the baby to that game.

I absolutely love this game, but every about week and a half it decides to update and because of where I live (no WiFi) I can’t update it. I lose everything and have to start over. Very frustrating Also when taking baby for a walk in the train station it seems as the people are purposely trying to walk in to the stroller, and trap the baby in. I’ve had to start over a lot because of this. Frustrating. My other device I have the game on and it doesn’t update every week and a half. I have to update it. Other than that, the game is fun, the baby is constantly growing and I have noticed that the baby has a personality. It gets mad without crying and glares at you. It’s cute.
