Energy

Gives a blue bar indicating your friends hunger level.

Drop one of your adult friends or a child that is 14 or older on the Kitchen table to have them prepare a meal. Dropping your adults on the Kitchen table to prepare a meal is especially important when an adult has a career that works in the Kitchen...dropping one of these little friends anywhere else in the kitchen will probably cause them to start working on their career or some other action.

Your little friends tend to not eat meals without your assistance. Should you leave the game while one of them is preparing a meal...your little friend will stop preparing a meal.

After the meal has been prepared drag your family members onto the kitchen table one at a time and they will "sit down to a meal" which seems to sustain them for a much longer period of time and increases the "Fed" bar the fastest.

Your little people will eat on their own without your assistance as long as there is food in the house.

Health

Gives a blue bar indicating their health condition. The longer the blue bar the healthier they are.

Keeping food in the house and giving them medication promptly after they become ill appears to be the best preventatives for keeping your families healthy.

The bathroom upgrade also appears to keep your little friends healthier.

Should one of your friends become ill or very weak, treat them for their symptoms as soon as possible. The faster you respond to an illness, the less likely your little friends will become weak. Should your ill friend still remain ill after an hour of treating their symptoms...have a doctor consult to see if they have an infection and need to be treated with an antibiotic. Treat them with the penicillin first, then the vancomycin

Have an ill friend sit down to a meal several times and keep the fed bar up to slightly boost their health.

Using the chamomile drink works when they become ill as it lets them rest.

Vitamins and fruit from the varied items section of the store can also slightly boost their health.

Once one of your little friends becomes weak, it takes quite some time for their strength to greatly improve. Sometimes the best medicine is a good nights rest.

Happiness

Gives a blue bar indicating how happy your family member is. The longer the blue bar, the happier they are. The happiness level can range from depressed to elated.

What makes your friends happy:

1. Food in the refrigerator.
2. A house that is picked up with no wrappers, socks or TV remote on the floor.
3. The yard is free from weeds.
4. Money in the bank.
5. Having children.
6. There is a distinct correlation between the health of the family members and their happiness. If they're healthy they're happier.
7. House upgrades.
8. Career promotions and making money.
9. Selling collectables on line.

• Should one of your friends become depressed, help them out of their funk by praising them often for any positive behavior you desire; even if it is picking up a collectable, purchase an inexpensive upgrade if possible and defiantly put food on the table to store in the refrigerator. Time will be the best healer for a depressed friend. Try not to scold a depressed family member

Store 2

Purchase groceries from the store and place them on the Kitchen table...your little friends get sooo excited to see groceries in the house they drop whatever they're doing to peak at the groceries and to put them away.

1. Top row of groceries in store are regular foods and equal 150 units in each category.
2. Bottom row of groceries in store are the organic foods/higher quality and equal 250 units in each category.
3. There is a special every day on one of the food categories. When you can afford it and there is space in the inventory stock up on the specials.

Keeping 1,000 units of groceries in the house helps keep your families happiness level up. Select the refrigerator, the door will open and the "food available" will show above the action task bar.

Allow 200 units of food for each family member per day...it's not a bad idea to have extra on hand in case they through some food out or another emergency arises.

Your family will eat on their own throughout the day as long as there are groceries in the house.

For optimal "Fed" sustenance:

• Have an adult prepare a meal by placing them on top of the kitchen table. The action bar should read "preparing a meal".
• After the meal has been prepared, place each family member on top of the table and they will "sit down to a meal". The children seem to be the most sustained when sitting down to a meal. All family members are more sustained when they sit down to a meal than when they eat on their own. The men tend to need to eat more than the rest of the family...oh, how true to life!
