Build a small family and take care of them
Virtual Families gives you a small house where you raise a family. Feed them, clean their house, and buy them things. The game is remarkably similar to the first Sims game.

Grow and develop a family
Virtual Families allows you to create a small family, upgrade their house, buy them things, and help them lead their lives. The graphics were indie when the game was released, which is why they look a little flat instead of the proposed isometric appearance. Maybe there is no point to playing the game because once you have achieved all the game goals and upgraded everything, you are left with a game with nothing to do but repeat the stuff you have already done. You can create a bigger family or something along those lines, but there is little to do once you have upgraded everything.
Will scratch a few Sims itches
Virtual Families is remarkably similar to a fan’s version of the Sims. There are a few game play differences, with the most pleasing being that there is less of a social requirement within the game. Sadly, the game has the same major flaw as the Sims game in that the maintenance of your characters becomes tiresome. Having to repeat the same actions again and again to keep your character happy feels a little like the game is enslaving you rather than the other way around.
