*Now Downloaded 11 Million Times!! Well played, people!*
*Whoa! You made us #1 in Simulation! Thanks, we love you people!*
A note from the developer:
Hi, and thanks for taking a look at Virtual Families 2! We have been working on it for quite a while, and we’re very happy to be able to finally share this new chapter with everyone.
Before you skip down to the bullet points and screenshots, let me say a few quick words about this game, and life simulations in general: I love life simulation games. I have always been passionate about designing them, and almost everything that comes out of Last Day of Work is a life sim of some kind. This one, in particular, thrills me so much because it is designed to have a life of its own: unpredictable and so different each time I play it, and each time another player plays it. I love that the story unfolds differently for everyone who plays it, and your experience with the game might be wildly different from your friends’ experience.
Designing this type of game, however, has its own special challenges. The main challenge is that EVERYTHING in life is a great idea to add to a game like this. There are SO many great ideas, and we simply cannot put them all in at launch. So, while I hope the game captivates you as much as it does us, there will inevitably be things that you feel are missing and you would love to see added (tell us!).
We plan to update the content in this game. We want to add pets, hidden puzzles, more storyline, more events, tons of new things to buy, and the list goes on and on. We will also continue to tune and deepen all the game's inner workings that control happiness, health, and everything else. While the game has been balanced to be playable for free and without purchasing anything, we hope that you will find something compelling enough in the game to give us support so that we can continue to create fun new updates.
Enjoy Virtual Families 2! Please visit our Facebook page and our forums to give your own amazing ideas and suggestions, and don’t forget to check in on your little family or they will get very sad. :)
With sincere gratitude,
Arthur Humphrey
Lead Designer, Last Day of Work

I agree with the other review, the family shouldn’t all be straight. Also in the second, third, etc generation you can only choose one of your children too inherit the house, maybe you could choose multiple of your children or be able to see what they did with happened to them or the end of a generation. Maybe you could be able to go outside of the house, maybe go shoe-shopping (be able to control the whole outfit of your players) Also maybe the family could move house or have a holiday home. Possibly, have visitors/ have a daily schedule. Lastly things star way to expensive and the only way to earn money is to watch videos or get a promotion which takes a long time. Basically the only option is to buy money so you can get bored very easily. Why is the limit of children 6? And why can’t you change people’s hair? I love the game but there is a lot of room to improve as I have listed above please take it into consideration
Okay but have a few issues

Okay, so don’t get me wrong. I really like this game. It’s fun, time consuming and something to do when I’m bored. I got it ages ago and only after having it for a few months realised some things. PREACH!! So, first of all, there are absolutely no black people in this game. Why does every single person have to be white. It gives the false impression on children like myself, that white people marry white people. It’s 2018 and I really think that this issue needs to be updated. Next, once the baby is born, it’s the mother that nurses the baby. I understand that this is often the reality, but it’s not what it should be. The main audience for this game is between the ages of 7-16. Surely both parents should be looking after their baby equally and not only one person individually caring for their baby. Also, I noticed that there are no gay relationships. It’s a game that’s supposed to reflect real life and in real life, there are gay people. Finally, just wanted to say that there shouldn’t be certain clothes for certain genders. Gender shouldn’t determine what people wear. Thank you for taking your time to read my comment. I am aware that this is just a game, but this game really needs to reflect the real world. Especially with my first point. I was appalled when I realised that only white characters were in this game and this definitely should be something to consider changing when putting out this game for the world to see. Despite these things, I really do enjoy this game but I can’t help but be put off.Xxx~K
Great fun but needs more sexualities and races

This game is great fun and always keeps you occupied. The people encounter problems and have great upgrades such as tackling depression and buying pets. Your little family do get depressed and weak easily but in my experience it doesn't really make an impact on the gameplay. Your job is to look after a little family including cooking , cleaning, gardening, (you can get a gardener and a maid for 1000coins), fixing, working etc. This family can live to average life expectancies unless you don't feed them. If all of the children die then you have to adopt a person to start a new generation. (The maximum amount of kids you can have is 6). These generations can go on for as long as you'd like and you can unlock new furniture and pets if you are on a higher generation. The only big problem is that you can have white people and Asian people but there is no option to have a black or mixed race family. Also all of your people are straight so they can't be very unique. The game could work with lgbtq because they can adopt.
I love this game!
¡hola! from quarintine
I’ve been playing this game since I was young and I really love it!But, like a lot of other reviews, I do think the people could each move more unique. For example they could have different race and sexuality and you could change their hair and be able to mix and match outfits. I think it would be a bit ambitious but you could also have other houses and be able to go and see the people who have been giving you emails or go to the children’s school and college. Plus, they allways have the same hair! I’ve had so many people wi5 the exact same hairstyle and it’s kinda getting boring. And it’s super hard to get money other than adverts. I end up doing something else whist now and again playing the ads to get money. Finally, it gets super annoying when my characters are doing something -like preparing a meal- and if I want to move something around whilst they are doing it, they just come running and watch me arrange the furniture. And I can’t make them ignore me and keep doing what they were doing before, until I have finished moving stuff around! Apart from that, I do really love this game it’s just sometimes it gets a bit boring.
