I don't see any reason why they should be unplayable, since it's always been possible to create families larger than 8 using the tombstone of life and death, but if what you want is to be able to have babies born into larger households you will need the cheat venusy posted.


Such a nice use of commas, but one more is needed.

Between "households" and "you". An artefact of the evolution of language.

I think TJ had instructions in one of the readme's that come with the hack.


An apostrophe is not used to show a plural.Grammar Day 2007 - thank you for participating.

Bah. I've always struggled with that. "Readmes" seems awkward, as does the spelling of "awkward".


Don't feel bad iZazu, at least the Oxford University Press agrees with you.  ;)

A casual search on Google shows that there is some controversy surrounding the use apostrophes to indicate the plural of unusual noun forms.  It's not hard to find references for either position.

I generally use the term 'readme file(s)' (or 'documentation', depending on how snooty I want to sound) in order to avoid awkwardness.
