If you like Virtual Families you'll probably like this. It's similar in terms of choosing who to adopt, building up their family and their cash...although some items that are for sale have become very expensive - you have to really think it's worth paying for a doctor's assessment. I've never had a character die young so it's perhaps not necessary.
The down side to the game is that I find myself waiting for them to die! There comes a point where you've bought the career upgrades and the house upgrades for that generation - you can't buy more until the adults die. Once they've had kids all they're good for is making money. I tend to load up their food and leave them to it. There's not much point in buying furniture, it doesn't really add anything apart from the odd useful item like a washing machine. Not sure how much longer I'll stick with it but it's ok.
I recommend this game!

Good but a bit annoying

I'm not usually into Time Management games but this one is pretty good. For some reason it keeps freezing though - just temporarily glitching, but it happens a lot - making it very frustrating. My computer exceeds the spec for the game so I don't know what the problem is.
The other thing I find annoying is the characters that keep popping up to "talk to you". Sometimes they're adding in extra challenges but really all the story stuff is unnecessary. Sometimes they block the screen.
But it's a challenging game that I'm enjoying. I'm hoping to uncover a sandbox but I'm not hopeful!
I recommend this game!
