[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.

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.
