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.

Its a great game but they should take the whole “ghost in the house” thing out

H

These guys make the greatest games!

I’ve been playing virtual families since it first came out, like og virtual families, their games are the only games I play anymore! If you haven’t checked out their other games look up LAST DAY OF WORK, they have virtual villagers, virtual town, and so many other good ones!

love it

so fun to play !

Updating the storage

Being able to put clothes In dressers and the animals actually sing able to use their toys would be cool as well as lowering coins

Cool Game

But this game neeeeds work. You have to work like a slave to even get money to by more than food and medicine. Like they have to work like a dogggg for it . And all the furniture so expensive!! Next this game should have a way where the current generation can visit and meet with their sibling til a. New generation starts . Like the siblings should be able to connect on a family trip or something. It could be a better and with adjustments but it’s ok

Lack of tutorial and instruction, and awful mechanics!

I’m baffled at how much this game does not teach you how to do ANYTHING important. Like how to do your job, how to literally play the game lol and they’re slow and I mean slow. They don’t listen everytime you ask them to do something, and don’t even get me started on trying to make them do a job. If they’re a food photographer but they’re hungry, they’ll just eat the food and not take photos. They’ll only take photos if they’re wanting to? Like huh? And the zooming in and out is atrocious. For its age I would’ve expected a lot more improvement.

EDIT: I kept giving it a go, and on day 2, toilet is clogged, have $0 to fix it, can’t work because she’s freaking out about the toilet, can’t repair it without money, it’s ridiculous. And when working your career at home you only get $4 per work task? Talk about stingy… objects can’t be placed against walls either, you can’t see when newborns are going to age up, you can’t carry the characters if they’re holding collectibles because you’ll lose them, there’s so much I could mention. Definitely needs to be improved.

You can see by their replies to every review that they likely don’t take anything on board because they can’t even write a person reply, it looks like they’re just copying and pasting, or it’s an automated response.

Why use ai?

As far as I know the game itself has no ai but the app cover does which is pretty disappointing as the usual artwork is why i liked ldw games as it’s nostalgic yet fits the aesthetic of the game. This not even the only game with ai covers. The newer ones have it and im just like why fall for the propaganda especially since you guys have the money to hire artists and the assets itself aren’t ai idk it makes me not want to play newer games and just the virtual families one & two. Also the newer games are a harder to get coins and more p2w which is high key cray.

Love the game but very slow

I’ve been playing this game on and off for years. I love the base play but it gets boring and easy to forget about after a while. I wish there was a little more to do but still enjoyable.

Why did my dog die?

My dog died for no reason at all. I’m really sad and upset. I only got him a few weeks ago and how do I even get my my 45-year-old take marry somebody and have a son or daughter so please write back and tell me thank you it was really awesome by the way

can’t play on train, can’t play on plane, what a pain

idea for vf4, instead of the resort, there are two family homes that the players can advance. one is for the heir and the chosen one to lead the new family and then there is the family home where all the non selected siblings live. this way it feels more purposeful than the resort and the hier can meet and interact w their family, hence virtual FAMILIES!

Similar to VF2 but more a lot harder to make money

You can tell the developers are a lot greedier then they were with VF2. way harder to make money and you pretty much can’t succeed in the game unless you shell out cash which I’m sure is the goal. At the very least they should have some discount package deals for sale cause there is no way im spending any money to get what they offer. Vf2 it was almost too easy to make money so it would be nice if we could have a happy medium. You should not be struggling so hard to earn in game cash that can barely cover your groceries.

I do like that the animals have a life span and have more personality. It makes you more attached to them. The family vacation is also a nice touch.

My review

It’s a fun game but it would be funner if there were easier and fun ways to make money

Pricing

I do not want to give a one star review. I feel like it is necessary. This needs to be taken into account. I played virtual family for years. I’ve played 1,2 and now three I’ve also played the island and villagers as well, and I have never in my life been so appalled against the pricing of in game currency and real life currency. The lowest package you can buy for coins is $1.99 and that only gives you 600 that you could easily watch six ads and get. on top of that trying to purchase an amenity for your resort or a room for your home Is just absolutely outrageous. It takes me a whole month or more just to get that in game currency. $37,000 coins for an add-on to the resort is absolutely ridiculous. When I played the past virtual family game, I’ve never had to save up this much. I went through at least 20 or more families and I’m not even halfway done with the house. Making a little cheaper so it doesn’t take months to achieve.
