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 👎🏽.

Love this game

I love this game so much it’s so fun

Fun and entertaining

Not getting 5 stars because it takes a long time to earn money even with the free coins from watching videos.

So nostalgic ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really love this game played as a kid took me ages to remember the day but I finally got it back. I love the new resort definitely needs an update so we can make income with the resort and interact more with visitors as the story about the place is unfinished. The home itself is definitely an upgrade! Just needs updates where maybe you can visit other people’s homes, cook different things, new interactions, pets do more, when the kids go to college maybe we can visit them etc.
Definitely worth 5 stars all good with this app!!!

Trop bien

Trop bien le jeu juste si seulement il était en français

No Reset Option

The game is fine, it works, but I didn’t play it for a while and REALLY want to start over, but there is no way to reset it - I deleted it from my device, from my iCloud, I disconnected my Game Center, and none of it deleted it. I have no interest in playing this old save, and was happy to re-spend my money on stuff, but I’m not going to contact customer support just to restart my progress when it could be way way easier than that.

Update after response: I tried their suggestion to press the reset button in the menu four times. Literally all it did was reset the settings. Did not reset the game.

I like it

It’s an ok game, takes forever to do things though. And things are expensive to buy. S it makes it impossible to progress quickly. Not sure why it’s designed to take so long

Hours of Entertainment

I used to play Virtual Families 2 for hours when I was younger, so I was very excited to find there was a new edition! It’s exactly like the old game, but better! I love all the silly names your virtual people get- they definitely provide a laugh. I appreciate that there aren’t any forced ads, but you can opt to watch some for coins.

I really like the new incorporation of the resort, however I do wish there were more customisation options available for the resort as there is with the house. It does also take a very loooooong time to save up money for upgrades and decorations, which can make it a slog.

I LOVE THIS GAME

You have so much control over so much stuff. The only downfall is y’all need to make it easier to make money. My stuff is struggling but other than that, I love it.

Best game

Love this game!

Bugs

So I’ve been playing this game since I could remember growing as an adult I’ve noticed that things are way too hard on the game such as earning coins , in the ads.. bugs glitch the game out where you won’t get rewarded anything. Please update virtual families. I love this game. I do not want to delete.
