So everyone knows that that your virtual family is SO SLOW. So here's some easy tips so you can speed things up a bit.

Garbage
When you put a peep on the can, wait till the bag is visible. Then either praise the person or pick them up. The bag will dissapear, and the garbage will be gone.

Sleeping
When your people get tired , you put them to sleep . But they sleep for like 5 minutes. So buy a hammock, then just put them in it over and over until they're status us back to happy/elated or whatever

Hunger
You don't have to prepare a meal to feed your people. Either make them look for snacks or buy food from the flea market.

Not feeling Fresh
Instead of letting them take a long shower, put them on the shower and wait until status is happY/elated or whatever. Then pull them away.

Also, (this isn't really faster trick, but it gets you money so ya) take 2+ people and put them on something outside near a collectables. Then, plug them on as fast as you can. You will get lots of money.
