Posted by on 08/09/2008 To speed up research, make a scientist do research and watch him/her. They will stand still for a second and then twitch. Tech points are added when they twitch. Then just pick them up and tell the to research again. This takes some babysitting as you have to keep putting them back to the research table, but it really does make the points add up faster than just leaving them alone. Posted by Bre Ann on 12/26/2007 Sometimes your villagers will not mate because there isn`t enough housing. Take every possible villager and change them to a builder (on the detail screen) if they are not already builders and your houses will be built much faster. For Me it took about 1 minute for my house to get bigger and more built Posted by destiny on 11/24/2007 To make berries grow, take an adept scientist and study the cactus, then 26 berries will grow. Then go and hit the 2x faster for a bit, then go back to normal speed and you will have a bush full of berries! Posted by tom on 05/30/2007 If you want to make a child
a doctor, drag a child on a
dead villager many times.
Sometimes the child runs,
so drag many times.
Posted by Kayla on 01/28/2007 Hey! If you want to get more mushrooms I have a great tip for you! I`ve tryed this myself and it works! Ok here it is: You find a mushroom, then pause the game. Put all of your little villagers on the same mushroom. Some might not do it. When you unpause they will all pick up the same mushroom. I have 90 children in the game and one time I got ninety mushrooms at the same time! Its a great way to keep your food supply going! Posted by Heather on 01/06/2007 When you want your villagers to have babies, a faster way is that when you hear the kiss sound and your population goes up, then pick up the girl and move her before she goes in the hut... and there you go a baby! She will be holding it already without ever going into the hut! Posted by Joanne on 01/01/2007 Don`t change the peoples clothes too much or they will all have the same outfit (guys will have the same and girls will have the same) Posted by mushy moomoo on 12/23/2006 Name all your villagers poo head or ploplop and their heads wil be poo. BANTAM CIT ARCADE: Even if this one isn`t true its hilarious so I approved it! Posted by jerry on 11/10/2006 Push f6 while a villager is selected and their clothes will change, this also works on the golden child, but you cant go back to any previous costume. Posted by josh on 09/10/2006 The windows clock cheat works. I just wanted to add that you can change the time more then an hour too, but don`t change the time up too many hours or your villagers will end up dead! Posted by Kristin on 09/04/2006 To make the game go faster & speed up building & crop growing times, simply set the clock on WINDOWS computer, up an hour or so.
Posted by Maple on 11/11/2007 If you keep putting a villager on a dead body, it will say Healing someone, for like less than a second, then they improve on healing! Thats how i got a master doctor! Posted by MIrandaCaseyMcbrown on 10/26/2007 Try to buy the second level of farming before your berries run out!
Posted by unknown on 07/15/2007 If you have a Master Scientist, Hover her/him over to locations (e.g huts, lagoons, flowers) to see something specific happen! When you get babies, they will grow up with status on their profile. Posted by j1m53 on 04/19/2007 When starting the game make sure you have a male that likes running, use him for building and farming. (gets job done much faster)Do not use woman (time lost with babys) Posted by Christina on 02/21/2007 Children can learn to heal, and actually heal villagers! If you drag them over a dead body, they'll shake their heads, and it will say "attempt failed," but then it will say they've gained some healing points! I actually used my 10 year old to heal a sick villager! Posted by shelly on 01/11/2007 When you build the school (with a master scientist) children are born with a bit of experience such as farming, scientist, bulder, etc. Posted by shelly on 01/09/2007 If you carry the villagers back to where they were working it gets the job done faster. Ex:When the worker is carrying rocks to clear the lagoon, once hes put the rock down and away, carry him back to the pile of rocks. Instead of him SLOWLY walking all the way back. Posted by candy on 11/06/2006 Choose preferences for your children before closing the game so that if they turn 14 (working age) before you play next, they'll concentrate on whatever task you chose for them. ex. Your villager is 12. The next time you play she's 15. If you choose research as her focus, your tech points will have increased faster because you had an extra person working on research for that year since she came of age. Posted by candy on 11/06/2006 If you don't have enough food stored, the villagers won't breed. They'll be too worried about food. Posted by Damian on 08/31/2006 If you Drag a Master Builder between the food and the temple on the beach a message will appear about something being buried there, drop him there a few times and then he will start digging for the buried treasure. Posted by Damian on 08/31/2006 Take the Golden Child to the magic Flower Garden, he will call the butterflies and take them to the magic fruit plant to the north of the berry bush where the butterflies will polinate the Fruit plant. This will take care of puzzle #10 and 14 Posted by nattyro on 08/24/2006 Click the mask on the bottom of the screen for hints Posted by martia on 08/21/2006 Before you can get a golden child you must get a master farmer to catch the fertility fish in the lagoon. Just put him over the lagoon and drop him in the water. Posted by Shelley on 08/20/2006 Examining the strange lily in the north east corner will improve healing powers. Posted by Mizz mizzory on 08/19/2006 Put the villager on or besied a plant and they can get healing power, but if you want to solve the puzzle let them look at all the plants! Posted by fran on 08/17/2006 To get the golden child (which helps with boulder and butterfly puzzle) you need to have all the spirtuality and breeding completed. Then put the next pregnant mother in the lagoon. Posted by Katie on 08/17/2006 Try clicking on the drum by the school and watch what the children do Posted by Marsha on 08/12/2006 Drop a mother and child in the pond to get the Golden Child. The Golden Child can move the boulder. Posted by Corey on 08/10/2006 The berry supply is limited and you’ll need to find another food source as soon as possible.
Nursing mothers devote all of their time to caring for their baby and don’t do any productive work in the village for 2 years of game time.
Babies eat as much as adults and making too many babies too soon can quickly create a food crisis.
Any villager (even a sick one) can heal another villager, but healing is only possible when a villager’s status is “Sick” (check the Details screen).
Sometimes a villager will `resist` healing attempts by a specific doctor. If that happens, try to heal your sick villager again with a different villager.
Sick villagers need to be healed or they will weaken and die [*] Villagers can become weakened by such things as prolonged disease, starvation, on-the-job injuries, animal attacks, or old age.
Villagers who show a status of `Weakened` will generally improve in health over time unless they are sick, elderly or continue to suffer injuries.
The villagers need to be taught to perform a job – they will not initiate tasks in an occupation in which they have no skill.
You can view information about various technology advancements on the Village Tech screen by clicking on the “?” button for that technology. This information will help you choose the order in which to purchase new technology.
The villagers’ curiosity is often a clue to puzzles.
The children can find and harvest a certain kind of food.
Picking up a villager while they’re working will interrupt them, and they will drop the object that they were carrying.
General puzzle strategy guide:
Most of the puzzles are dependent upon some combination of Village Tech, villager skills, and other puzzles. Although some puzzles depend upon the completion of specific puzzles, the 16 puzzles are rarely completed in the order that you see them on the puzzle screen. Pay attention to the things that your villagers are curious about and the messages that you see when you take one of your villagers “exploring” around the island. These often provide clues that will help you solve the puzzles. Another good strategy is to drag one of your adult villagers around the island after every tech purchase and look for new things that they can work on. Most of the frustration related to solving the puzzles is brought on by impatience. It takes time for your villagers to gain the necessary skills and technology to work through all of the puzzles.
Hints for the 16 puzzles:
You can safely browse these if you just need a gentle push in the right direction. Each puzzle is referred to by number. The puzzles are counted sequentially, with 1 being the leftmost puzzle in the top row, and 16 being the rightmost puzzle in the bottom row.
Puzzle 1 is something that a builder can to do to provide a source of fresh water for your tribe. Puzzle 2 allows your population to grow larger by providing additional housing for your villagers. Puzzle 3 allows access to the ocean. Villagers don’t like dirty beaches. Puzzle 4 you should take a highly skilled villager exploring just north of the research table. Puzzle 5 requires a certain level of Village Tech. Take a villager exploring in the northwest portion of the island. Puzzle 6 requires a certain level of Village Tech, a highly skilled villager, and the completion of puzzle 5. Puzzle 7 allows your poor, departed villagers to receive a proper burial. Level 2 of a certain Village Tech is required, along with a peaceful place away from the hubbub of village life. Puzzle 8 has no dependency on either Village Tech or other puzzles, and can be completed very early in the game. It involves more than one game location. Puzzle 9 depends upon the completion of puzzle 5. Take a villager exploring on the east side of the village. Puzzle 10 depends upon the completion of puzzle 14. Take a special person exploring the island. Puzzle 11 requires a certain level of Village Tech. Take a villager exploring on the southeast side of the village. Puzzle 12 depends upon the completion of puzzle 11 and additional Village Tech. Take a villager exploring on the west side of the village. Puzzle 13 will produce a very special person who will be able to do very special things. Certain levels of Village Tech and the completion of the idol are required to complete this puzzle. Puzzle 14 depends upon the completion of Puzzle 13. Take the special person exploring the island. Puzzle 15 has no dependency on other puzzles. It can be solved as soon as you have the necessary Village Tech and a villager who has mastered a specific skill. Unlike the way you located the other puzzles, you have to actually [b]drop[/b] your skilled villager in the right place to find what you`re looking for. Dragging him around the island won`t reveal the location. Puzzle 16 depends upon the completion of puzzle 13. A special person will do something that no other villager can do. (from virtualvillager.com) Posted by anon on 08/08/2006 More than one child can pick up the same mushroom! Posted by teddebear238 on 08/06/2006 Drop a master farmer into the lagoon afer they had already started to fish in the ocean and he will start to hunt for a mystery fish. It may take a few times of putting him into the lagoon but he will find it.
