But now the women are only producing baby boys. Soon there will be no women left.
Yes this is an awesome game but very ticked off we had all but 3 flutes and a rare peice to that door and the game froze and now Im down that peice and all the flutes we collected today makes us very mad.
We enjoy all the Virtual Villager games! So much fun and challenging. We enjoying wasting time playing this games and love that there is no time limit. Just clean fun for everyone!!!
Best game ever if you pause game in options you can keep a better village. We woke up with all our village dead so we figured out pausing it overnight and our Village is thriving.
The beginning narrative voice is not talking.
We love the game however it’s not always easy to get tech points and u don’t get them all tht fast we think they should make it easier to get them or lower the upgrade prices.
We’ve been playing this game off and on for many years. First on our PC, then on our tablets. Its a good game for the entire family. The story line is good. The game is fun and intertaining.
Love the Virtual Villagers game series. We have played rather all. However, we have been waiting for years for them to update and add to this current VV origins which they constantly continue to promise to do. We feel like we wasted our time on a game that we cannot complete all the way.
Very fun relaxing game on iPad but it is inexcusable that the full version cannot be bought from the App Store. We will quit the game because there is no place to go once you have nine characters put the full game on and we will come back. We will be letting every one we know not to start the limited version because they will just be disappointed.
Ok so we only have 4 puzzles left and we are not sure how to complete them. One looks like a crab with grapes and apples next to it… The others are the very last three puzzles on the bottom row. Can anyone help us? We have tried so many different things to figure out the crab but nothing works. Tried so many different types of stew and nothing!! Also, we LOVE this game and when we’re finished we will probably start all over again!! Ok to get the butterflies, of course u have to clear all the debris and place the rock so the water flows down by the blackberries first. Down there u will see the blackberries, a palm tree and leaves coming out of the water. Once those leaves turn green and the butterflies show up, go to them, then get a knife and cut the leaves, a green cloud will be on u… Slowly go to the tree, do not lose the butterflies, move ur person on the tree until it ur person wipes the cloudy off on the tree then the butterflies will stay there. As for the frogs, u have to wait for the rain to built up next to the stairs, it’s where all the kids jump in the puddles… If u look closely u can see something moving, take as many of ur people as u can over to the puddles (adults only) and they will pick up the frogs and place them in the water in front of the tree.
We love this game!!! It is awesome.
It should be night at nighttime.
This game is so fun, we can’t even stop playing it!!!!!!!!!!! There is many ways to feed your villagers too. First that was a problem when we ran out of berries but you an make stew to feed your villagers and here is how you get fresh water not salt the fresh water is by the blocked stream on the mountain then you get the blackened rocks by the berry bush put that on the fire wait till it turns red then bring that to the pot then you put the herbs in our recipe has 1 spicy and 2 of the sweet ones in. But there is more combos we think . Also it will say you need more nutrients so you bring whoever is cooking the soup over to the food box then they bring it to the stew and then you Make them try it and if it is good the other villagers will come and eat it. Also the hard fruit you have to cook to do that you have to get the construction tech so you can remove that big pile of rocks then do that then you have to get four hot rocks on it but make sure that there is no water in the pot then you have to get the leaves on the palm tree by the berries and then place that on the hot rocks and that is your oven then direct the person to shake down the fruit and then they’ll cook it that is how our villagers didn’t starve but to get cloth Just look it up because we’re not there yet sorry and your welcome: )
Can’t pick the "other" flowers! Villagers refuse bc they are not in full bloom yet? Know of a way to pollinate or speed up that process?
We have all the virtual villagers and virtual family! We love them so much they are like our kids lol this games is just as good so pretty! The map is a lil big but better then 3 because woo wee that’s huge! Well worth the money(:..!!!
We really enjoyed this game, was fun and not to complicated. If u have problems, google virtual villagers 4 walkthrough, it has information on how to do things.
How can we move the rock….. And how can we catch Fish?
So far so good can’t stop playing , really enjoying it! We wish they can make virtual villagers 5 soon!
Overall we love the game, but every time we try to edit the epitaph of one of our dead villagersI get attached, all right, we like to put personalized epitaphs on their gravesbut when we try to do that we can’t make spaces. Bothers us so much. But we love the game otherwise.
We love the game keep up the good work! (;
We are addicted to virtual villagers, and we even dress up in clothes to look like them! We’re writing a story based on them! We love V.V.!! We highly recommend it. We have this idea that maybe you could make virtual villager dolls, or figurines. We would be soooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE TRY TO MAKE THEM.
We have played all five virtual villagers game and its our favorite out of all games available in the app store. When are you going to make part 6? Please make another!
We love this app. Worth buying!!!!!!!!! It has a lot of things you have to do to beat it, but it’s so great!!!!! Once again, IF YOU WANNA BUY THIS, we WOULD SUGGEST IT!!!!! Fun and very cool. -L.D.
3 soapy flowers and salt water make soap, 3 vines and salt water make cloth, stew is one mushroom, fresh water, spicy flower, 2 sweet flower, food, hard fruit, blackberries and coal.
This is our all time FAVORITE game ever!!! Here is how u get the soap: Pick three of the soapy smelling plant. Get salt water from the bowls by the waterfall, and then they will take it to the pot. The put a villager on the pile of rocks by the bridge that leads up to the research area. They will take the rock to the fire. U hav to wait a bit 4 it to turn red, but wen it dos, put the villager on it again and they will take it to the pot filled with salt water. You will get boiling water!!! Then drag a villager to the table next to the pot f they will start "cooking". When it starts making black smoke and the water goes away, put them bak on it and it will say "stacking soap". There! Here’s how u make cloth! U might need more learning tech or something, we’re not sure, but here’s how we did it! Drag a villager to the big fish bone and they will make a cutting tool. When they are done, drag them over to the pulpy vines by the firewood. They will cut the vines and put them on the cooking table. Then do the same thing u did for the soap for the salt water and rock. Next drag a villager to the cooking table again. We bet u can figure it out from there! Now can somebody help us??? We don’t now how to get the puzzles with the crab on it, the puzzle with the frog on it, or the puzzle with the butterfly on it!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!! We love this game!!!
Does anyone know how we can cut the vine to make cloth?
Virtual Villagers is our hands down most favorite game of all time. It’s so fun to check on your little villagers every day! If you could update it to put more puzzles in, that would be great. Please make a Virtual Villagers 6! We would buy it immediately!
For those who are stuck.. Here are the puzzles that most people get stuck on. The Grand Feast- The One with the fruits and stuff: You need twenty villagers and level three dendrology. Have one villager make a stew of three sweet smelling flowers (use children to gather them) and use fresh water to make it. Drag all of the villagers (nursing or not!) to the pot and they will bring bowls of the stew to the tree. The Frogs- The one with the picture of the frog: You need to have the whole river flowing and soap. Wait until it starts raining. Then quickly drag about 5 villagers to the pond near the cooking area and drag one villager onto the soap to make them drop a bar into the pond. Then drop all of the villagers into the pond and wait till they all are clean (You’ll see white sparkles around them) then drag the clean villagers to the puddle area near the bridge and they will be "rescuing frogs". Once your villagers have saved at least seven frogs or so, you will complete the puzzle. The Butterflies- the picture of the butterflies: You need to have the whole river flowing and cutting tools. Wait until the stalks near the edge of the river is fully green and recovered. Drop a villager on the stalks and they will get a cutting tool to cut the slams. You will notice that the butterflies around that area will become a bit more jumpier. Once your villager has cut the stalks, they will be covered in green gunk. Don’t panic! Slowly move your villager to the big banyan tree and drop them on the tree. They will start wiping the gunk off on the tree. Then the butterflies will be attracted to the tree! Hope we helped! :D.
Every tho it had a glitch and half of our ppl died it is still fun and we love our ppl.
Best game ever!!! Love it!!! Can someone help us with the catching the crab and what looks like musical instruments? We still need a couple of things we don’t know we cut the branch and stuff but that we don’t know how to get the crab or clean the stones or how to finish the one that looks like musical instrument or a cup… Help?
We love last day of work. We have all the virtual villagers games as well as virtual family. The problem is, we don’t know how to make cloth. We agree with other reviews we’ve read asking for a help or hint button. For those who can’t figure it out, the pile of rocks by the ramp can be put in the fire by villagers. The weird-looking things on the right edge of the map(by the blocked water and by the waterfall) are actually bowls. Have a villager pick them up and they will put water in the pot. The bowls by the blocked water are fresh water and the bowls by the waterfall are salt water. To make stew pick 3 plants. The only plants we know of so far are the soapy plant(white, by the ramp and the blackberries, not good for stews), the sweet plant(green, on a ledge above the research area, good for stews), and the spicy plant(red, a small ways to the right of the mausoleum, good for stews, but not alone). Then you get water(fresh is best for stews) and put a rock in the fire. When the rock is ready it will glow red. Pick it up and when put in the pot the water will boil. Then you can put your plants in. You must also add food to your stews. Don’t do this until you have added your plants. Just put a villager on the food pile. Then you can place villagers on the pot and they will eat it. To empty the pot, put a villager on the circular grate nearby. To make soap, put 3 soapy plants in a salt water stew. No food necessary. We have been trying to figure out how to make cloth. We read a review that said "3 vines and salt water" we can’t figure out how to get the vines. We assume you cut them off with a knife. ( to make a knife just put a villager on the fish skeleton and they do the rest!-if you have a fire going-) More Questions Answered To fill that hole that appears when you get the debris out of the way, look to the right edge of the map. Down. Down again. By the bowls. The big rock. You have to put multiple people on it. And we think you need Learning tech. Not sure how much. If we see any questions we will try to answer them. If you know how to make cloth please tell us!
Can somebody tell us how to do soap plsss and how to get cloth bolts we really need some help.
Super fun and addicting. We cant stop playing!
This was a very good app we like it better then all the virtual villagers. And we like how they have s3x and make babies it makes us hornie.
Can someone tell us when vv 5 will come out for iPad.
This game is amazing! There are absolutely no crashes, it’s HD, and there isn’t any need for bug fixes because there aren’t any problems or glitches. It’s perfect! It’s just like the computer version. The thing that we like about this game is that it’s in real life time, so that means, you have to keep checking on your villagers every few hours so you know they have food, and other things to survive. We like that, because it keeps the game alive, and it never gets boring.
We have every villagers game but this is the best one yet. Us and our mom love this app.
Why do the men not advance in parenting unless they are having sx before 40? Joke? Why do balding guys never advance in parenting at all? Inside joke? Having trouble getting scholars.
At first this game was pretty awesome but now we have only four people left and only one girl so we figured we should get someone to have a baby with the girl so our tribe will continue and we’ve been trying like a thousand times and it does not work we think there is like a problem with the app we know it doesn’t work every time but we’ve tried so many times and not to mention the last female is on the verge of death.
Help! How do we get other food sources?
How much leaning tech points do you need to make cloth?
This is a great game, even more fun than VV3. Unfortunately, it crashes constantly, often right after finding a collectible, meaning we end up losing the collectible we just got.
We wish people moved faster or maybe we are not doing some thing right because it takes them 20 minuets to move blarg!
We have always been a fan of these games, but, like others that have been following the LDW games, we would like to see a change in scenery, maybe new people ideas, and definitely new challenges. One problem that bothers us is when we download the free version, and get to the max population, it tells us we need to buy full version. Being the VV fan we am, we do. Why do you make us restart when we buy it??? We wish we could keep our free trial tribe with the fuLl version benefits. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS!!!
We love this app but there should be some description on the puzzles how do you get cloth and remove the rocks and get rid of the hole PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cute game, but would like to see the ability to build more buildings and do more things with tech points (at least with purchased game). ATM, we have 500K+ tech points just siting there – all puzzles done. It’s kinda boring wasting T pts on changing clothes for 5K a shot.
For the next game: arctic tundra, or some type of new scenery. Or just add fighting against other tribes or wild animals possibly? Thanks!
We’ve done VV2 and VV3 and this one is our favorite. Seems more intuitive than the other ones. But we were 3/4 of the way through and came back the next day with a screen telling us to choose a name for our NEW tribe? What??!! Previous tribe completely gone! We hope it doesn’t happen again!
