The “pause game” option does not actually work.

I’ve played the original virtual families as a child, and now that I’ve gotten a little older and decided to revisit the nostalgic game, I seen there was a VF3 and decided to give this a try. It’s a cute, fun time waster. The only issue I have is regarding the “pause” button as it doesn’t actually work. I don’t think any adult with a functioning job or life has the time to be on a mobile game all day and night. I paused the game, but evidently the function doesn’t work because when I checked back in on my game 10 years had passed and my entire family was on the brink of death. This has happened multiple times, and every time it says my game is paused I come back to a significant amount of time having passed. It’s a fun game, and cute but I had to stop playing it solely because of that factor… I don’t have time to sit on it all day everyday, and I would like if the pause button actually worked instead of expecting to resume it where I’ve left off only to find my little family all deceased.

10 years

I always loved it, which is why I’m especially frustrated that I’m writing this review now.

My couple had twins, and I got the congratulations message saying “Oh Baby Baby.” It showed that I had received the prize, but after I clicked “OK,” the game went to the loading screen. When it finished loading, the kids were just not there. The twins completely disappeared, and I didn’t actually receive the prize either.

I really hope this is just a glitch that can be fixed because it’s disappointing to experience something like this, especially after playing and loving this game for so many years.

Game inflation is dumb

Listen I absolutely love this game and have been playing it and it’s other versions since I was a kid. But it’s always been a greedy game. I understand the developers need to make money somehow, but the money value in this game is so awful. Everything in the game goes up in price as you progress, but you’re never making more. Sure the resort is a decent money maker but an hour to get a thousand coins is so lame knowing it costs upwards of 11000 coins to get upgrade the resort. I would be more likely to buy the money packs if they weren’t so expensive for something I’m gonna run out of after upgrading one room. It takes forEVERRR to save up coins to upgrade almost everything.

I love the franchise but this is insanely slow going

It takes irl WEEKS to just get to 3k gold and even thats barely enough to afford anything in game. A single pitcher of water for the resort is around 1100 and dont even get me started on getting my people to master careers. It goes past 8 now? I love this game but i need the money making to be faster its been a month and i cant make it past 5k this is crazy

Game freezing while loading

I love this game a lot, I enjoy playing it, but every time I try to open the game, it gets stuck on the loading screen. I have to delete the app, and redownload it for it to even start up again. I really enjoy playing this game, if this is something that could be worked on in the next update that would be amazing. Thank you!
