By jess 01/12/2011	Hi I've only recently begun playing Virtual Families, my parents are in their mid fifties and their eldest has gone off to college. Just wondering if anyone knows how long these little people live for on average, do they simply die of old age or can an illness kill them? Do you have to wait for both parents to die before you can pick your next generation?

By jess 01/12/2011	I've done some reading and answered my own question. For future reference to anyone else: Adults will pass away in their 60's on their bed. You then have 2 choices; a). continue in the current game and try to uplift their spirits after suffering loss of loved one. b). click on family tree link and choose next generation and begin a new family with one of yous adult children.

By meme 02/10/2011

You can stop them from dying. When you open the family up, if you see someone lying on the bed, hit the space bar to pause the game (as long as their spirit hasn't yet appeared to wave goodbye). If you have the money, buy a stethoscope and while game is still paused use it on the dying person. If an illness is diagnosed, cure them. If nothing is wrong, then buy and use babyboost. Then unpause the game. This should save them. They will jump up on the bed and wave thanks to you. If fruit, vitamins, or an energy drink is available at the store, give it to them. Now at first the family will act as if they were dead and at first you won't be able to pick them up. their picture won't appear in details. but, if you give them the fruit or vitamins that usually puts their picture back. I did this not only with adults, but I had a ten yr old girl almost die and I saved her life.

By kak 02/26/2011

WOW! I have been playing for months and never been able to save a dying person! The average age my people die is 58. No matter how healthy they are, they die. I had one live to age 68 and one died at 16. He had a cough, I treated it, he kept getting weaker and weaker-tried penicillin, vancomyacin, etc. nothing worked. Vitamins, fruit, nothing worked. One day he just died in the bed in the children's room! With families in the 8th generation that is the only time I have had a child die. ALSO the parents never "got over it." Usually when a parent dies, the family is depressed for a few hours, then gradually they become a "bit blue" and then happy and then elated. These parents had two other children and they wouldn't watch movies with them, work on their careers, or anything except bathe and eat. They stayed depressed until they died at 58 and they were like 45 when he died! Strange!

By katrina <3 03/06/2011	about 60 o n they age about 3 yrs ova nite n 3 in the day n each generation lasts about 1 week

By savannah<333 03/18/2011	i tried that thing where you try to save them when there on the bed before there spirit appears to say bye. it didnt work for me, he died. i tried to use the stethescope on him, but it wasnt working, just like there was nobody there to use it on. 'Hubby' was a good 60 year old man:/ i miss him. lol.

By mina 05/05/2011	Oh no my mom is 57, that means she will probably die soon....that makes me sad!!

By kayla 06/09/2011	It's okay. Usually the average human lives to their late 80's and early 90's. But she can live to a hundred something if she is healthy enough.

" Your virtual family members will be aging a year every two hours (real-time). They normally will pass away in their 60’s, occasionally in their late 50’s. That means you could be starting a new generation every 3 or 4 days. As soon as one of the parents has died, you will be have the possibility to start a new generation from the family screen. If you don’t have any children, your game will stop right there. You will be able to scroll through the children and learn more about them etc., as often as you like, so don’t be afraid to press the “try again” button. All the children will automatically be the around the same age as their parents when they moved in into the house. " - Source - Gamezebo

By lizz16 07/04/2011	they can live up to the max of 78 but most likely to die at 60 or in the 60s

By abby kelly 03/06/2012

so wierd, my wife on my ipod virtual families was 66 and the husband's name is Flicker and he's 61. The wife died before Flicker, which is really wierd. The wierd thing is that the wife wasn't sick or anything. Another thing that's wierd: At 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday March 6, 2012 is that the same wife was still alive; her status said Elated. I came back five minutes later and she's dead! I thought she was going to be 70! Wierd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By peanut-butter! 03/11/2012	They will die in their 60's on their bed!! ;) hope I helped!

By vfluver 04/04/2012	Yeah, thanks everyone for helping me awnser my questions. I have a man and he is 61, all of his bars are full and he has mastered his profession. His wife died ad all the children moved out. Can the people die from being alone in the house for a couple days? I just wanted to know how old they can get... So maybe I will have something to look forward to. He might be 78!! Thanks everyone

By tyler denae 04/18/2012	I have 2 virtual families. One is 68 year old and his wife is (i think) 84. It's wired because when they got married the wife was a "year" older than her husband now she is "2 years" younger than her husband.....

By cotton candy/11 02/17/2013	My girl is 41 and she had twins twice and didn't even have a baby boost

By amy 02/19/2013

i have been thinking ... the husband and wife in vitrutual families when they die what will happen to their children? do they then have children? i have 6 children on that game and i was wondering what would happen, right now the 2 eldest daughters are 15/16 when their parents die what will happen to them and the other children? do the children grow older and get married? all very complex but does anyone know the answer?

By villager 02/19/2013	If you want to get a family member out of a depression go to their detail screen and click the 'Upgrade me' right above their head. Purchase psychotherapy and they should be fine!

By brittz 02/26/2013

i just had my second family's wife die. i have always choosen new generation and one of the children, of your choice, takes over the house and money and the rest of them move out. is there any way to not do this and get all of the kids married or do u have to pick just one (by choosing new generation) and play with just the one? will the father that just lost his wife remarry? basically i want to know if NEW GENERATION is the only option to move forward in the game

By hehebeb 03/07/2013	Josh duded

By periwinkleheadz 03/13/2013	So say if one parent dies and there's no children. The remaining parent gets remarried!! Yay!! This happened to my kristella and tone, I kept trying to make them have kids, but noo. Then tone died and boolo came!! But then kristella died but they still don't have kids! Then Camillo comes and boolo adopts him. Yay! So basically they can remarry.

By winter frey 03/16/2013	My mum is 56 and dad 57 so the...]

By cheats 03/22/2013	If you want to move on to a new generation then just change the date on your ipod. If you want them to be able to try for a baby sooner, then move the time forward 30 minutes.

By livingvirtual 03/22/2013

I have a little person ( mother ) who has just reached the age of 85. Idk how she is doing this but the husband died at 69. I got her psychotherapy after his death then she was fine. I always gave her perfect fruits from flea market and nothing but organic food. She also did a lot of gardening and focusing on career. All the other mothers in my other generations have had six kids. I had this mother only have 2.

By kids 04/01/2013	I do not have pearnts I do not know how to get pearnts do you know how

By fam fam 05/10/2013	My person is 33 And married and she had her first kid at 22 can they make another baby now? plz tell

By myself 05/12/2013	They can have a baby when the wife is not nursing or the baby you have is above the age of 3. Then you can have another baby. If you want twin give the husband and wife a baby boost and you should have twins. Hoped this helped!

By cat 05/13/2013	What do you do if both parents die before the kid reaches adulthood?

By jess 05/14/2013	I have had both parents die while the kid was only 15. I went into the family tree like you would do to start a new generation and clicked on her. She appeared as the new head of the house and it aged to 22 years old.

By mystery game player 05/27/2013	No, you do not have to wait until both parents die to choose the next generation. My first generation mother just died, and now her thirty year old daughter owns the house. You should know that the other parents and siblings of the house are forced to move out whenever a new generation takes over the home. You do not see them again in the game.

By june 05/28/2013	My dad just passed on at 61 years old

By xandrakitti<3 05/30/2013	They don't always nessecarily die at 60. They can last longer, but usually that's the age they live to in your first generation. The life span of your little people expands as does your family history.

By eliane 05/30/2013	My woman is 58 and her husband is 60 there first kids were triplets and after that they had 2 single kids they have now all left for college also the wife and husband seem fine because they're all elated.

By sonnet luby 08/29/2013	Most of the time they live to be 60 or in their 60's if they are extremely weak they might live to be in their 50's

Hi I had a male named Akhi and a female named Camden . They have four children two of them twins. The twins were 17 when they died and were there to see the death. 1 of them is weak but is eating and bathing fine . She even started doing excersice .The other is not so happy. She won't eat and even when I buy groceries she just goes away . I don't know why but I guess some people are closer to others OH WELL

By virtual villagers 12/28/2013	It's better to have children at the early stages of there life because gradually when they get older it's harder to have children There pretty young for the amount of children they had as a i had them when they were 23 and 25. as my Mom:27 Dad:29 Son:2 Son:3 Daughter:5

By yay 01/01/2014	I agree the older the people the harder to have children. Since my second generation father passed which had low income as a caterer and mother (Asta ) was a low income fiction writer is 55 and very weak I don't want to leave the next-generation with a petty 734. The father was only 58.

By awesome actress 02/27/2014	I just checked my other game and everyone died

By rachel 04/20/2014

Your parents can die at any age. The parents normally live to around 60 years or so if they are always praised to keep them happy, medicated when sick, and healthy. I know , I know , you may be upset that your parent is going to die:( You can try to prevent this though it doesn't work for some people, but here is what to try: Give them a prescription based on doctor consultation reports sent after you buy and use the stethoscope on dying parent Give them baby boost Feed them praise candy and fruit Then all you have to do is hope they live Back to when they die, your parents have a better chance of dying young if you don't help them when their ill , schold them with nasty candy often, and keep them healthy. Hope this was helpful:)

By anonymousperson 05/25/2014	I had a couple who died at 54, and their health was OK. Then I had a 11 year old die, with only one more living kid, who died at 25. What is happening?

By chall2002 10/01/2014	Here's some tips about dying *I heard that you can use a doctor consultation due to dying of illness why don't you try *They die in their late 50s or early 60s *The kids for the next generation don't have to be in college! *Adopting after parent dies with no kids will still get that person remarried.

By kia 10/28/2014	So if my person is 62 will she die soon??

By i don't care 12/21/2014

My 1st gen. mother (Java) died of illness when she was 40. The son (Tetto), 15, starved and the older daughter (City), 9, died of illness at the same time. :-( The husband (Crisone), 39 wasleft to raise the younger daughter (Katola), 3. She married Unix, and they both lived to be 62. The 2nd child, Saphie, married Bingory, and lived to be 61 and Bingory moved out at 58. The oldest, Rosola, married Francico. Francico died at 63, and Rosola lived to be 69 (that sounds so wrong). The youngest, Brenesse, married Pierozo, and is now 32. Pierozo is 33. They have two sons, Yuri and Gregono, who are 6 and 2 respectively, and triplet daughters, Adrianna and I forget the names of the other two, who are 3.

By grace 01/07/2015	how do you make the parents alive again?

By gg 01/09/2015	I Went on to the 2 generation and the parents were 65ish and they had something like $100 and the son who I chose to continue the family had $957 so I guess you don't get the money from the adults that died...

By tati0125 02/15/2015	I had one of my little peeps die at the age of 82. It usually doesn't matter how healthy they are, because he was elated, healthy, and fed and yet he still died right in front of me. It was comforting that I was there his last minutes lol.

By daphne 02/19/2015	I was wondering if the two parents die and you still have the kids can u marry and still have the kids your parents had on virtual families

Somehow my parents had 8 kids? Anyway they were really close until the dad dies and the mum wouldn't even speak to them it or come to dinner. At the oldest was 16 with the youngest 3. The 3 year old keeps getting ill with colds and the doctor keeps saying it will. Also the mum won't do anything but work and the therapist isn't working. Once she came out and the childrens actions were all confused. Whenever she sends me an email its always about how much she hates the kids. It brakes my heart.

If they don't have any type of sickness, they usually die between the ages of 50-60. But the ages may vary depending on the person. If they do have a sickness they could die at any age. Tip: To avoid certain sicknesses, if you ever see that one of your people's status says "a bit sick" take care of it. Follow them around until you see if they start coughing, sneezing, have the hiccups, or they are itchy. When you see one of these, buy medication that could cure this. Give it to the person and see if it helps. If they shake their head, buy other medication or buy the doctor. (Their is no cure for hiccups)

By grac 06/26/2017	They live till their early sixties, and the latest they can die is 70, at MOST. If they're not well, they could die in their late 50s even. I saw a post where someone took away all their beds and couches because she was so desperate for them to live xD

By styx 06/26/2017	If your person has hiccups then just drag them to the kitchen sink where they get a drink and their hiccups are cured.

By omlette 01/10/2018	I'm on my third generation and the parents tend to die around 60 or 58. Good luck with your family!

By darkocean 07/19/2018	Mine lived to 57 ans 58 (first generation).) Don't send a kid to boarding school you won't see them again until the parents die! I missed her, lol. Also, having 6 kids (a kid gt left at the doorstep when I had 5 kids and the parents were the age stated above.) They died a few hours later, I was so mad! Bad time to give a kid, lol.

An average human person lives to late 80's early 90's and Mabye Evan 100! If your family is lying on a bed but there spirits havnt died yet quickly double tap the home button and remove them from recently played. Than, skip back time a day or so, cure all there deiseses and make sure they have enough food than, delete it from recently played apps and set the time to the actual date ( a day or so forwards) than open the app again and they should be fine ????
