Virtual Families 2 lets you create a simulated family life. This life simulation lets you live the reality you've always dreamed of. Built off the same engine as the original Virtual Families, the sequel takes the popular and winning formula and piles on a whole range of new features and assets. Pick a person from a cast of thousands and help guide them through the big decisions of their life. This includes helping them choose a spouse and start a family. Once your little people are married off, you can start your own family or just fill your home with a cute assortment of pets.

Create the perfect home for your new family by renovating their home from the ground up. There are hundreds of textures and decorations to choose from, and you have full control over customization. Whether you want to create a practical home that fits the needs of your family or create a bizarre environment and see how they adapt, the choice is entirely yours.

Raising a family isn't a one way street though. Your cast of characters will grow, learn, and develop behaviors based off their activities and personalities, and they'll even communicate their needs with you directly.
