★★★★★ Water leak that I couldn't find, family member got sick and couldn't give them medicine, stopped being able to click around on things. Really disappointed.
★★★★★ You can't even begin to do the beginning tutorial because the game just glitches non stop.
★★★★★ No matter what I do this game doesn't save my progress and it's all glitchy whenever someone is doing something like showering, using the toilet and cuddling.
26 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ The careers are slow to progress, money is hard to come by, and it's a system designed to force users to watch ads and pay micro-transactions.
★★★★★ It's so hard to earn money without watching ads and waiting!
★★★★★ They don't offer refunds, and they are a SCAM!!!!
15 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Very sad this company has gone downhill.
★★★★★ Time skipping is gone due to being on an online server, the pricing for coins has gotten even greedier (and much slower), riddled with bugs and lacks the charm the other games had.
★★★★★ I immediately deleted the game.
11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ I open the game and play, have to close out and open again because it keeps freezing in a way.
★★★★★ The game is unplayable. The people will still move around but you cannot exit out of build mode sometimes which is frustrating
★★★★★ I'm also unable to complete tasks due to the UI freezing, not allowing me to go into Reno mode or the drop down tab.

★★★★★ Takes forever to earn money, outages cost half the money you save up to fix it.
★★★★★ Is too slow and instructions aren't specific enough...

★★★★★ I loved all the other games but this one lacks.
★★★★★ Time skipping is gone due to being on an online server, the pricing for coins has gotten even greedier (and much slower), riddled with bugs and lacks the charm the other games had.
★★★★★ For some reason I can buy any furniture or anything and my kitchen sink is leaking constantly and no way to fix it
7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ No update to user interface once any kid is born, so you can't go back and reflect on all your hard work and story building, because by the time the “natural” times passed, they are still a simple baby image, and they…
★★★★★ UPDATE: had to restart my phone and everything is gone… I was about to upgrade to the 3rd home… nothing is saved.
★★★★★ 3rd the kids the grow to Fast and the mom doesn't hold them or give turns with babies let parents take turns holding the babyplease update fix !

★★★★★ It's so hard to earn money without watching ads and waiting!
★★★★★ Yeah the contests are cool, but the game is unplayable without watching ads over and over and over for free coins or worse to purchase coins with real money.
20 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ I've always enjoyed the series, but this is by far my least favorite.
★★★★★ This is actually my first review ever and I had to let all the vv fans know this is truly an awesome game. Just started playing and I can already tell this is gonna be just like 2012 lol when I first started playing.
★★★★★ I've been really enjoying the game so far but then once I got into the third generation, a bunch of glitches have been occurring.
4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ All of their bars go down super fast when you're logged in.
★★★★★ I love Virtual Families and have found that even though this game is still in its "soft launch" phase, that it's a fairly smooth gameplay experience and there are a lot of neat features such as being able to be a part…
★★★★★ This game is terrible they die fast and you can barely make money you can't even name them and they sound annoying 👎
3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ For example when you prepare a meal they just will start the “making food” option instead of sitting down or they will just clean it up.
★★★★★ Whenever my family prepares a meal they don't sit down and eat they immediately clean up after meal.
★★★★★ I was also hoping for more character design and individuality.
2 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ I sent a support ticket and the response was watch for updates.
★★★★★ Can we add support for that please.

Please update the game to allow for Users who prefer playing in both portrait mode and landscape mode, this will help tremendously for players who have varying ergonomic and overall accessibility preferences.
Water leak that I couldn’t find, family member got sick and couldn’t give them medicine, stopped being able to click around on things. Really disappointed.
I have always enjoyed the art style of the virtual games produced my LDOW, and am greatly saddened to see AI slop on the opening screen. The careers are slow to progress, money is hard to come by, and it’s a system designed to force users to watch ads and pay micro-transactions. There also isn’t really anything to do in this game other than decorating, showering, cleaning the house, etc.
Love it
Needs a lot of improvement
I’m kinda disappointed with the path they’ve decided to take with these games. I’ve always enjoyed the series, but this is by far my least favorite. Feels off track compared to the others
