What Makes Virtual Families 2 Dream House Stand Out
Now Downloaded 11 Million Times!! Well played, people!
Whoa! You made us #1 in Simulation! Thanks, we love you people!
A note from the developer:
Hi, and thanks for taking a look at Virtual Families 2! We have been working on it for quite a while, and we’re very happy to be able to finally share this new chapter with everyone.
Before you skip down to the bullet points and screenshots, let me say a few quick words about this game, and life simulations in general: I love life simulation games. I have always been passionate about designing them, and almost everything that comes out of Last Day of Work is a life sim of some kind. This one, in particular, thrills me so much because it is designed to have a life of its own: unpredictable and so different each time I play it, and each time another player plays it. I love that the story unfolds differently for everyone who plays it, and your experience with the game might be wildly different from your friends’ experience.
Designing this type of game, however, has its own special challenges. The main challenge is that EVERYTHING in life is a great idea to add to a game like this. There are SO many great ideas, and we simply cannot put them all in at launch. So, while I hope the game captivates you as much as it does us, there will inevitably be things that you feel are missing and you would love to see added (tell us!).
We plan to update the content in this game. We want to add pets, hidden puzzles, more storyline, more events, tons of new things to buy, and the list goes on and on. We will also continue to tune and deepen all the game's inner workings that control happiness, health, and everything else. While the game has been balanced to be playable for free and without purchasing anything, we hope that you will find something compelling enough in the game to give us support so that we can continue to create fun new updates.
Enjoy Virtual Families 2! Please visit our Facebook page and our forums to give your own amazing ideas and suggestions, and don’t forget to check in on your little family or they will get very sad. :)
With sincere gratitude,
Arthur Humphrey
Lead Designer, Last Day of Work

Community Insight:
The game Im gonna say is the best out of all. But there are a few glitches and bugs. One of the bugs are when socks and wrappers get stuck in a specific area by the toilet even the maid cant get to. Its irrational and it triggers our ocd terribly.
This app is soooooo vagina slay.
Ok, first of all, love this game. Its a great real life sim. Second, we agree with Princess Z girl. If you could add different skin tones and countries, it would make this game better. Ty for making this game.
This is the best game our favorite game we love it and its so fun and you can decorate your house and its just so fun we live having a little family and its so realistic it our FAVORITE game we have had it our whole life and Ive never got bored every one in our family has it and the quality is really good except one little thing we just wish they would get there energy back quicker but other than that LOVE IT.
This game is awesome. We have so many fun memories of virtual families from our childhood and its fun to play still.
This game is great! You should update it even though theres a newer one out.
We love it Im nine but it wont let us watch our shows well we play at our age we love to watch shows well we play.
From: Corx playz we love it so so much! Its fun and we can adopt kids too! Its fun to buy pets and other fun stuff! Our sister played it. Right now Im screen recording and doing tutorials! Thank you Last day of work.
We used to play this game on the pc and we lost it and never found it again until now.
Hello, we have played this game ever since we were around 8 and we love it so much! The first thing is, every time we un download it, it doesnt save and the second thing is that it randomly crashes so fix that aswell thats all bye.
We love this game ive been playing it for years it always keeps us entertained when im bored.
If you have nothing to do we recommend playing this you build up a family and play like a regular life.
Us and our mom have been playing this for years and we love it! We got this when we were around four and played it for a few years on an iPhone4 now Im 12 and playing it again and it feels just like how it used to : ).
If any developers see this just know this is our favorite game and it never gets old. We love the little details like making meals and snacks and having materials in your little peoples hands while they work and the flea market. Everything abt this is so fun and im not even like a little kid im in middle school and we love this game.
OK SO we STARTED PLAYING THIS GAME YEARS AGO SND we FORGOT ABOUT IT OK BUT we GOT IT AGAIN AND ITS SO FUN we STARTED CRYING WHEB MY FAMILY DIED BABASSHHSHSHS.
This game is double crossed eyed bussin. So much better than the VF3. We had this game since we were a kid, im 20 now and we still play it every night before bed.
This game was our childhood omg we almost forgot about it.
We love this game!! Our cousin and we have kind of grown up playing it, and despite it being easily like 5 years since we first started, we still love it. This game is really entertaining, and its somehow engaging enough to keep you invested. We mustve spent HOURS playing ad after ad so we could get some funny new gadget, but it was well worth it. Speaking of which, we love the free coin feature. So many games limit the number of free coins you can get through ads, and we think its so great that this game isnt one of them. As for things Id like to see, Id like the decoration function to drop down a little further so its easier to pull down the furniture without pulling down the whole screen (or maybe we just have to get better at maneuvering our finger stroke). Some diversity would be nice (as other folks mentioned), and honestly we think that the preset names in the game are one of its charm points. Overall, great game!! We suggest it.
Its a nice relaxing thing to do and relaxing thing to do we like to play it when Im having a bad day and Im having a major panic attack so we get a definitely a five star rating its really good.
We love this game so much! We play it everyday.
We really love this we play everytime and hope they update it.
Its amazing we love this game but its a lot of coins for stuff its doesnt cost real life money witch we LOVE.
We re-downloaded this game, because we remembered it while taking about the past. We grow up playing this game since we were 7 and Im 15 now. Its crazy how this game brings us back to our childhood. We even know then sound that makes us cry its music track 2. The song reminds us of our old house in Puerto Rico.
We played this game so much when we were little. It brings back times from us at our grandparents house. We love that you can get free coins. The only problem is that sometimes your people dont even try to work. Other than that, we love it.
We love this game because you get to have your on little family is your phone and get to watch your kids grow and have fun.
So we have been playing this for a few days and we absolutely LOVE it! It just has great animations and stuff. We just wish that it is mot that expensive for some upgrades and stuff -we hope this was helpful.
Its a really great game now you just love it so much even though we just started it today.
We love this game so much it is one of our favorite mobile games by far.
We love this game and we loved it back then too. We used to play it all the time when we were a kid, it brings back memories of our childhood. We also love the soundtrack too, the music is amazing.
This game is amazing but can u make it so that the parents can have more children and so we get more money from there jobs please and thank you.
We would play this game so much FOR HOURS a day when we were 7 years old and we are very grateful for having our entertainment span filled as a kid.
Great game wish they would live longer .also no on line to play.
We have been playing this game for a bit and had some technical issues. Working with their support was great. We will stand by this developer always now. They were so helpful! We highly recommend the game! Highly addictive.
This is one of the best real life games ever everything is great besides the fact that its super hard to make money other than that its an awesome game highly recommend.
Right, we wish we wouldve left this when the game was still in its prime but it brings back so many memories we didnt know we had!!! Im going to download the most recent one with very high hopes.
We wish that when they make babys that they can just have it and not argue about it, so far we love the pets the house and the family thanks for the best game ever.
We love the game bc it is a step up from the first game.
Drawing was so detailed loved it more than other other games.
We have two children one is a baby and she looks so cute but Why is it so much like real life can someone answer us please.
Virtual Familys is a great game.
We play it every day we play before we go to sleep we are obsessed with this game. We dream about it it is the best app Ive ever played.
This game has been a part of our life for years, as well as the Virtual Villagers games. We have yet to try VF3, but we plan too, and we hope it gives the same vibe as VVO2. Last Day of Work is a company we have to thank for a small piece of our childhood, and we're very grateful for it. 10/10, would recommend.
We absolutely loved this game since we were a little girl!! We downloaded the app again today after at least 4 years and its still the same and thats just amazing! We love this game.
Ive been playing this game since we were 14 and discovered it , now 22 n still playing but a few updates could make it better maybe some inside games to get extra coins or something like that.
We love this game and it should be available in schools because the kids are bored and the teachers need a break from the rascals.
We love this game a lot we play it all the time by why arent there colored people? Id love if there was.
This game is so fun we have it on all devices we own. We suggest the game should have lgbt relationships it would make the game much more interesting.
We have never played this game before but because so random girl on tik tok played it on our "for you page" we just had to get it bad we love it.
We played this game A LOT in 2014 and Ive been thinking about it lately. Im so happy to come back to it. High quality fun game at the low low price of $0! Ill have to check out the third one soon. But first, nostalgia.
Omg we love love love this game it is so fun and so addicting the names are a little strange but we can most definitely get past that. This game is literally so cute and so fun u definitely need to get it. Our only little problem is that u can only have 6 kids and then your little parents are done weather u adopted some or not. But other than that small little problem we would totally reconvened this game to anyone at all it is so fun. Our sister and we even got almost our entire family addicted. We love this game it is the best.
