I bought virtual families the other day. The ppl keep doing everything they would do if the game was up when the computer is turned off. Like those island tribe games. The weird part is the time on the game is the same as the time here. Last night as the sun was setting for real it was setting in the game. I think its so cool that it does that. It also takes into a count the date and area of the world the person is in. I wonder if its gonna snow on my game when its snowing out here? ....
