* Go to the sandbox and pick up the door nob, your player will fix the shed. When
that is done, get the key from under the welcome mat, that will open the shed.
Now you can put out fires and water the plants.
* If a persons energy is down, either give it an energy drink or keep letting it
take naps or go to bed (it might take a few times).
* If a persons happiness is down, buy new things for it, praise it, feed it,
clean the house, and dont use the scolding hand.
* If its hungry, buy food at the store.
* If its health is down, make it take a shower, clean the house, or use a towelet
or hand sanatizer.
* To fix the birdbath, you have to fix the water hose (buy waterproof tape and
make a person get a drink, then put another person on top of the hose) then buy
a water pump, put it by the birdbath, and put TWO people on top of it.
(Its too heavy for one).
* To repair the Workshop wall, you have to buy The Wall Repair Paint from the
Store in the Varied Items section (be patient and wait till it appears over
time).
* Put the paint and brush beside the bucket on the lower right hand of the screen
(near the sandbox). Drop someone on the bucket and they will proceed to fill
the bucket with water and add the paint. They will then take it to the wall
of the workshop (where the children draw on the wall) and they will proceed
to paint the wall.
* They will not complete the job on their own. You will have to keep bringing
them back after they have finished one round. Use multiple people to finish
the job quickly.
Note: Interrupting them while they are taking from the bucket will cause
the bucket to disappear and all your progress on the wall will disappear too!
You will have to wait for the Paint and brush to appear in the shop again.
* You need to unlock thed shed first. so go to the sandpit and in the corner is
a doornob, your person will fix the door, then you need to unlock it by
collecting the key from under the welcome door. This will unlock the shed
which then allows you to use fire extinguishers and the watering cans.
* If u place 2 people on the coins and collections then they both will pick up
one and you get double the money for it!
* Mom holds the baby till it is 2 yrs old a couple of hours of play.
* children dont work at all they clean the house at 14 and do homework they
go to college at 19 they just disappear out of the house.
* Keep taking the person with the hiccups to the kitchen sink for a drink till
they do it.
* Weak/exhausted take them to their beds or hammock to sleep if they wake and
are still that way take them back till they are happy or elated.
* You have to wait for supplies to fix floor and workshop wall in the supplies
box it will probably take a long time I just close the game and wait for awhile
and open it again a few times after buying stuff and hope its there.
* Fix shower and toilet go to laundry room where the duster and plunger are for
them to fix it.

of the cupboard) your little person will take it and fix the leak.
Day/ night:

The day/ night cycle for your little families coincides with your own. So, if you

exhausted. In the options menu, you can switch the day/night feature so playing at
night is daytime for your family!

If you have an overflow on bathtub, sink, etc; before starting create a new account
(you do not have to play the account just check back every seven days.)then when you
see a leak just go on the second account for about 15 seconds then go back on your
account and poof!

To put out a fire in the oven or the dryer, you must have opened the shed. To open
the shed, you have to get the door knob from the sand box and your little person will
take it to the shed. Then you have to drop a little person on the welcome mat at the
door. They will find a key there and unlock the shed. Once you open the shed, there
are fire extinguishers and watering cans. If there is a fire, drop a little person
in front of the extinguishers and they will do the rest!! The watering cans are for
watering the flowers in the flower boxes on the side of the house.

Email:
Here is a glitch I discovered by accident. Right in the middle of the house there
should be a square of wood with a crack in it. If you click and drag very quickly
near or on the crack, a second ball should appear. I think you must have the first
ball to do this, sooooo…. GET THE FIRST BALL!

window and arter a fue tries the people should pick up a green watering cane. so hope
you found this usful.
Hidden path:
————
There is a path which leads from one family to the other. Go to the tree behind where
the pool would be placed. Click multiple times just above the blue box were you would
normally see your persons face. Note: Eventually you will be able to move the mouse
without clicking and dragging. Note: This may require some time. . At that point you
can take things from that houses inventory and place it in the bushes. Then, go into
another family and repeat the procedure. You will be able to take out whatever you
previously placed there.
