This game starts with one person who the player adopts. This person has an income and with that money, the player must wisely choose food to buy and clothes and everything else. He must also find a mate for our little person that we adopted so that they may have children and they will continue their generation. Over time these people may die and then the player can select one of their children to start the next generation. This is a fun game seeing all these virtual people grow up around us even when we are not playing...

This game is really cool!!!!!! I think it's fun for ppl who like to do their on thing on games and not have to do certain things and can get stuck on something. theres no ending so u can just keep on playing! sometimes it does get a little boring so thats y u have to keep doing more stuff!

This is an excellent game. It teaches teens and adults too about the 20-80 rule with criticizing and praising. It also is eductional with budgeting - if you'll spend your money on extras you might not have enough for basics like food! It's also fun and a relaxing game to play when you're feeling a little down. Excellent game - keep up the good work!

When you start with your first and second generation(s) of families, it is challenging to have enough money to keep up with their needs and "wants" (they actually email you when they want something!), after that it's like sitting here watching the grass grow. LDOW needs to look at Life Quest and Path to Success for some ideas to add to a new version of this. This would be the absolute ultimate game if the player could redecorate the house and landscaping with each new generation...that would add so much. Even so, you'll love your peeps and will want to keep taking care of them!

this is a great game. one mom one dad and a new born baby. and i almost cried when the demo was over. but my mom did not like it so much. i loved it but the first few times i didnt quite get the hang of it. so i just kept starting it over the first few times til i got the hang of it then i found out it was super duper fun. I LOVE THIS GAME!

I like it so much. This game has so many posibilities and options. You'll never get tired of this game. Its value is over its price. I would like to get it in hand as soon as possible and recommend this game to all the friends I know.

i like this game so much that i would keep playing it

I adore this game...I have it on 3 computers, so have 15 families to take care of, it is the best game BF has put out and I hope they will make a part 2 with more upgrades and meeting neighbors. Everything about this game is just like a real family and those of us whose children are grown and gone, for me anyway, is like starting all over again. If you haven't tried this game it is a must and I have recommended this game to over 25 people who enjoy it as well. So, please BF ungrade this game for all of us who play it several times a day....the other virtual games are too hard and a great dissappointment to us...so I highly recommend this game for any age group! Thank You BF for giving us great games, I only wish there were more TM games, but to my misfortune I check your site every day and it's always HO gloom and doom games. We need games that put a smile on our faces especially with what's going on in our world today!

I have to say that I love this game. Yes, there could be some more upgrades and expansions, but this is just so fun. I can't wait for them to come out with a sequel that will continue to upgrade and expand. The choices are endless. You choose who you marry and how many children you get. You figure out how to solve all the problems that make the family happier, and characters change with age. If you're a family if Virtual Villagers or The Sims, then you're going to enjoy this one!
