in app purchases not received

Love the game but 4 times now I have paid for time warp and it has not been received. Making me not want to play. Also girl appears too frequently

could improve!

I like this game overall, however it would be nice to have the options to change the colours of rooms. Wallpapers, flooring, etc.
I also think having them sleep easier? Instead of making the bed when you put them on it all the time, then can actually sleep and gain a full bar of energy.
No matter what I try I seem to never get a full bar…. And I’ve read how to play and looked things up!

I also think we should be able to sell decorations and items we no longer want!

Overall a good game. I use to play the old VFs and this is one fun!

Review

I’ve played this game for a minute and it’s a great game!. But I wish there was more levels or ways to earn more coins.

Disappointed

My family and I grew up playing this game but when I went to purchase 30000 coins for 4.99 it took my money not once but twice and I never even received my coins and now my apple account is locked because their trying to take 9.98 even tho I never received what I paid for😡!

Really fun game

Love this game only one thing is that it would be fun to see people after they have moved out of to at least see how the other siblings aged up and not just the one I picked to continue the family.

Ghosts

Game concept is great. Had to delete because there’s so many ghosts and creepy occurrences. If you want a normal family building game, this one takes a really long time to get rid of the ghosts aspects

Please change the AI icon, it turns people away

Love

I love!! I just wish there was more furniture

Time warp among other things

I recently just started playing this game again after years of not playing it because i remembered how fun it was. It honestly really disappointed me tho, I bought the time warp so I could age up the baby so both parents could work (because the pay in this game is honestly ridiculous and you need to watch all of the ads to get any upgrades) but the time warp did nothing, I read that it may pause ur game for a few seconds so I waited and nothing happened so it took my money and gave me nothing. On top of this I noticed that no weeds, socks or wrappers spawned in (I have not hired any help for this) and I needed them to complete the goal. This is not the game I remember playing and I’m really disappointed.

Could use some improvement

The game overall is pretty basic but the main problem is it’s pacing. Everything in the game is super expensive and the only way you’d be able to accumulate enough coins to do basically anything is by spam watching ads. It makes everything feel much more sluggish and makes the gameplay feel more annoying than enjoyable. It becomes a game you only occasionally open rather than a game you find genuinely enjoyable enough to play for more than a couple minutes.

Great game, needs updating.

I love this game. It has so much potential. I’ve only been playing for a little while now but I’ve noticed a couple of things that could be improved for better gameplay. Object placement would be a big one. It’s annoying when I want to put a furniture item down and it completely misses the mark every time. Character customisation could also be great. Would also be nice if characters had some more autonomy and varied interactions or interests. All in all, some updates would be really beneficial for future progression.

AI makes games unplayable

Hesitant to spend money on even the older games because what's it even going to go to? AI credits? A robot that scrapes the internet for art to plagiarize? Someone who can't even be bothered to get the image to look right, despite them putting in no real effort? Yikes!

Pay actual artists! Pay some people who actually care about whether or both the product they're putting forth is good!

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!

My favourite game!

I really do love this game it’s so nostalgic for me. I love the music, the decorating and the cozy vibes. The only few things i wished this game had were more frequent updates, a way we could uniquely customise our characters, better money packages and more fun interesting storylines like the little girl and her doll and also the story at the resort. Other than that this game is so comforting and fun to play if i had the time i’d literally play for hours.

Love the childhood game

I grew up playing this game love it soo. The only thing I would change is things about the family’s resort. I like that the family can travel now but it’s hard to earn money to buy furniture and resort room upgrades. I feel that the guess that comes to the resort should pay for their stay so we can unlock and buy furniture easier. My house is decked out but the resort 👎🏽.
