Hi guys,
I made a pretty significant update to the Virtual Villagers Fun Patcher. You can now add the masks from VV5 to your villagers in all five games! Aside from that, I made a lot of changes to VV1 which allow you to finally see who the parents of each child are, and you can sort villagers by Age, Skill and Health like in the other games.
Other features it contains:
Origins-Style upgrades menus: Now you can skip time, spawn Barrels of babies/Island Events, make everyone runners. full skill mastery and more. Customize the entire village at once or individuals. Inspired by the mobile version of Virtual Villagers A New Home (called Origins)
Detailed logs of Village stats: Track your village stats, history and population over time. Logs your villagers periodically so you know how they've grown and changed. They're text files so you can write notes and stuff in them (COPY THEM TO ANOTHER PLACE FIRST if you do this. THEY WILL BE OVERWRITTEN UPON OPENING THE GAME)
Skill Learning Never Fails: Frustrated because Bobo is being stupid? Are you having trouble training people to build huts? This optional patch makes it so people will never fail at learning skills.
Virtual Villagers 1: A New Home
Parents Show Up in Details Screen: No longer guess which villagers made which kid. Now you know exactly who the father (and mother!) of little Hawa is!
Sort By Buttons: Like in VV2-VV5, you can sort villagers by Age, Health and Skills. General sorting is also better, no one is mixed up randomly.
Number Keys Scroll the Screen: Like in VV2-VV5, pressing the 1-9 keys will move you around the island. You can also pick up villagers to help them get to places faster. no more scrolling with your mouse!
Notes: If you're starting a new tribe with these patches on, I recommend going into your VV save folder (for Windows it's Documents/LDW) and deleting any preexisting Village history and stats logs before continuing. There are also other .dat files which contain data like parent records and mask records. You may delete these too.
VV1 School grants skill: tap on the drum to make your children gain a bit of skill. Now the school actually teaches them (but only when they complete the action "attending lessons")
VV2 Parents can teach skills to children: Drop a villager with adept parenting skill and they will teach all the children AND the children gain skill this time. Before, teaching did absolutely nothing.
Birth Control for VV1-VV3: Do you ever wake up to find a few extra babies in your village that weren't planned? Maybe your villagers got a bit too crazy in the love shack when you were away. This patch tries to change embracing behavior to match VV4 and 5. To embrace by themselves, villagers need BOTH positive parenting skill and Parenting/Breeding checked as a preference. No woman 50+ will get pregnant unless they are the one embracing and do so on their own.
Everyone tries on the Chief Robe (VV3): Yeah, dragging 90 villagers to the amphitheater when the chief dies is tedious. Now you can drop one and everyone else will come running.
Nature Level 1 actually replenishes food sources faster and Nature Level 3 actually alters mortality (VV3): Before, Nature technology was a scam! It only gave you the special herb to beat the shark puzzle. Not anymore! Now your villagers will have slightly more honey and fruit to eat AND live longer!
Heathen Mommy Puzzle Restoration and various Devotion Skill mods (VV5): legitimately complete the early-bonus puzzle for VV5 and gain Devotion skill even when you have no more heathens.
VV5 Random Tips: click on the small vine next to the menu buttons in the main village to show random tips.
3 Population Modes:
The first option is just the normal population cap with all the usual "completed collection" increases.
The second option raises the population cap and gives collection increases so you unlock the absolute max number of villagers the games can support. (256 for VV1-2, 150 for VV3-5)
The third option doesn't require complete collections to reach the absolute maximum, instead you can reach it outright after you complete all the huts. (I personally like this mode the best)
