[b] *Mixed Review [/b] I used to play this game at my friend's house on her computer every chance I got. This game is nostalgic as hell, especially since I played it on her family's HP Windows 7 computer on WildTangent Games. Despite being a pay-to-play platform, before Steam, in the late 2000s, WildTangent Games held it down for me. Now that I think of it, I think we stopped playing because we ran out of coins, lmao (this game's also what let us to play house too, lmao). All in all, before Sims and all those social virtual world games, I played Virtual Families. I didn't even know it had sequels, so I might try 2 and 3 since the first game was fun, but didn't really age well.4 found this helpful
Probably will refund as it bugs out on my pc, but this is a great childhood memory. I used to watch my nan play this when i was around 7, and always wanted to play it for myself.
10/10 love this game, a huge part of my childhood. It is kinda like the sims but older and sims live their life even though you are not playing. It is great to open the game and find out some change.
If you just had triplets don't expect your hubby to carry a single one...
These games are part of a series of games Last Day of Work did. These games (Virtual villagers, virtual families, etc) were kinda best described as a sorta "semi-idle game". You looked after a family (or villagers, whatever) but they mostly lived their own lives however they wanted. They're fun, very kid friendly. I am not sure why steam says I only played 2.6 hours in this, I sunk in dozens of hours easily over a decade ago.
Huge nostalgia trip, idk how many times I've downloaded this game from sketchy websites as a kid. It doesn't hold up by modern standards. Customization is limited to the peoples names, limited outfits, and the order in which you upgrade the house. You can tell it was made before "diversity" was a buzzword. It's "real time" so play in short bursts and come back every few hours, would probably have done better as a mobile game.
