Virtual Villagers 4 (Tree of Life) - ageing and children PLEASE HELP?

In my village, i have 8 people (3 men, 2 women (in their 40's), 3 kids that are girls)



AGEING PROBLEM

2 of the men are the eldest and one has just become 50 and the other is now 52 :S

all of the adults keep ageing but the children (3 girls) are just staying the same age!



one is 2, one is 5 and one is 11, and they have been ageing rarely while the adults are. (when the 11 year old was 10, the 52 man was 51. when he turned 52 all the adults aged but the children didn't. after a long period of time, the 10 year old turned 11 but the other 2 haven't aged since.)

i'm worried that all of the adults will die of old age and the children will be left, still children.



how long does it take for kids to age and become older?



CHILDREN PROBLEM

the 2 year old girl has just been born. all of babies i have become girls. they are all wearing the same thing (a tiger printed outfit) and 2 of them (the 5 year old and 2 year old) look EXACTLY the same :l

the mother for all these kids are the same. If i keep using the same mum, will the children look exactly the same?



will i keep getting girls and never boys? how can i get boys?Virtual Villagers 4 (Tree of Life) - ageing and children PLEASE HELP?
Well the ageing thing.. Just wait it out they'll age.. And the whole only getting girls.. It happens, just have more children. Your women wont have children after they turn 50. So have as many children as you can. It usually takes a while till your children age to 14. Anyways.. You will get boys, just have more children. No the children wont look all alike if you only use one mother, its usually somewhat random..



Hope this helped
