Thanks. I found that out this morning - after about the 10th attempt to have a baby!

Does anyone know how to fix the birdbath?

Yes. Check out the threads already here, there are several on the birdbath with topics like "Birdbath"

Plz help anyone know how to unclog the shower

I was wanting to know after you have a child how long does it take before she can go back to work?

I don't get it! once you have got them used to working, had babies, picked up socks and litter, weeded the garden, what are you supposed to do? I have unlocked the shed, fixed hose, watered plants, etc, but most of the time I am just watching them get on with it. Its way too slow. I have 3 games running now just to try to get it interesting. Not as interesting as the Island games. And why is the mum only doing the childcare, the makers of the game not noticed its the 12st century!!!

"Weak" is not about energy, it's about health. There are several threads in this forum about health and energy, look for topics like "Extremely Weak"...

Welcome
Look at the topics in this forum. There are several steps to putting out fires and they have been written up many times in the forum.

Is there a faster way to make money. Telling them to work on their career gives me a small amount of money and it takes forever to get the daily salary. I need help!!!

Also, do the pets ever die. I have a cat and it has been alive for a LONG time.

Three ideas here - and this topic is also covered in at least one other thread in this forum, though you might have to page back a few pages to find it:

Keep checking the store for books for "office", "workshop", and/or "kitchen" based on the work your peeps do - buying the book and dropping it on the peep helps them get promotions faster as well as raising a little bit of cash.

Don't buy everything you can afford as soon as you can afford it - instead, save up for upgrades to the work spaces your peeps use. Upgrading the workspace results in faster career advancement. I'd recommend getting the bathroom upgrade, the air purifier, maybe the treadmill - put off the pool, hammock (which, if you're lucky, you might get free from a neighbor anyway), bird feeder, patio furniture, radio, and TV until you have done one upgrade to the workspace.

Only other way to raise money is to sit there with the game and watch the yard for collectibles. Buy the rain-in-a-bottle to see if it brings out the bugs. After collecting one for themselves, the peeps will sell duplicates online - and you get $5 for the common items, more for the uncommon and rare items. One of my families had two low-salary types and I spent a lot of time looking for collectibles at the beginning. If you do this and you're not familiar with the Virtual Villager games, you can scroll quickly around the property by using the numeric keypad (numlock on). You can use the scrolling even when you are dragging a peep around - helps get to those collectibles before they evaporate.

Thanks cat52. I'm kinda new to the game and you helped me a lot.

You are welcome, and welcome to the pond

Do the pets do anything besides wander around and just get in the way???? It's just sooooooooo annoying!!!

Please excuse my ignorance. But my peeps are exhausted and i keep trying to make them sleep but it doesnt seem to be working. Theyre laying down and it says that they are going to bed but their Energy Bar or whatever doesnt go up. Am I just being impatient or am I doing something wrong?
