*Your house is WAY larger than the house in the original *There are several rooms both indoors and outdoors that need to be fixed up before they can be furnished or used. *Your little person can attend online courses for personal enrichment or take a career advancing course. *You can personalize your upgrades for each room (ex: choose the type & style of furnishings) and there are many of each style of item to choose from. THINGS THAT I NOTICED WERE DIFFERENT FROM VF1: You still pull weeds, answer e-mails, clean up the house etc. You can still buy upgrades for the house. You still have a praise and scolding glove. You still find collectibles in the yard and have challenges that are optional to meet. They have careers and can advance in them. You still adopt your little person, they can get married and have children. But even after all that.I can't recommend this game highly enough.love my peeps!!!īETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE! A few years ago when I purchased the original Virtual Families there were things that I wished had been options in that game. I love this one, but would really love to see a third one come out with much more lifelike avatars, put the store back the way it was, add the ability to move ALL furnishings, change color schemes with more choices, give more clothing choices and be able to keep what we've already bought so we can send them to the closet to change outfits after we've bought them. I wish the designers/programmers had added the ability to add/change wall paint colors, wall paper, flooring however, what they have managed is a definite improvement over Virtual Families 1. Decorating and rearranging is one of my favorite things to do with the game.especially once you have met all the goals. My only negative is that the furniture that pre-exists cannot be moved around. In VF1 i had made the recommendation for being able to do more with the decorating as well as the peeps being able to interact with the pets.they added both and I love it.
I love the addition of planning the house repairs, having new furniture, accessories, terrific items to buy for the house. The store layout/usage is much better in the the original game. I Love My New Peeps!!! This one has many improvements over the first, although I wish they had kept some of the things from the first in the second version.
