It's worth noting that, for all school doesn't run for the kids over the summer, occasionally the vocational school for the adults does. Vocational school for the adults isn't available every season, so do take advantage of it when it is. So it's best to educate them in that order to give the maximum chance of 3 people always having a decent paying job. Two seasons of studying hard will see Patrick qualified as a Mechanic Assistant, and it takes 3 seasons of hard study to get Marie a technical degree, which she requires to become a secretary. One season at the vocational school, if you click on study hard, will qualify Jean as a mechanic. Jean needs least education to become a mechanic. Jean, Marie and Patrick (the parents and the elder son can get better/more choices of work by getting educated, so they are the ones that you need to concentrate on initially when you are educating the family. Ideally you can have both parents working for 420 goud each and have all 3 children in school and still be making a profit. If you are lucky, when you have over 750 goud during your turn you will be offered the chance to buy a stall and that makes as much money for one of the parents as the secretary's job. Secretary is the best paying job that anyone will qualify for but Marie is the only one who can hold it, and she has to have a technical degree before she can take it. If both are qualified enough to be a Mechanic/Mechanic Assistant and both jobs are available, give it to the one who has better health.įollow the tips below about schooling and you should have Mechanic/Mechanic Assistant options quickly for Jean and Patrick and (with luck) Secretary for Marie by the end of year 2 (or if you have a bad selection of jobs by the end of year 3). It impacts far too much on their health, even though the pay is better than the Farm Hand or Market Woman, they are far better options in the early part of the game.Ĭonstruction worker is slightly tougher on them than Mechanic/Mechanic Assistant, but quite a lot better paid, and as soon as you have a bicycle either Jean or Patrick should take this job. Unless there are no other jobs available, the Rum Distillers should never be used. The other 2 should either be volunteering or in education. If possible, you need 3 people in paid work every turn (until you get your own stall, then 2). Once that's built you really don't need to put anyone in as a volunteer again. The final thing to build is a soccer field - by then you don't need more than one person as a volunteer, the others are better occupied either working or studying, even if 2 slots are available.

Lastly, if you can help it, don't let your money go right down close to 0 for the start of the round, sometimes the balance will drop before it begins to go up again, you could end up with poor living because of it.Īs soon as they are available, get the maximum number of people voluntary jobs - they (obviously) don't give you money, but you do get some added education from them, and hopefully, if you can get 2 volunteers for the first 2 seasons you'll begin to build the community centre and this gives tons of benefits the further you get with it.Īfter the main community centre, you'll automatically build the library (which gives you an education bonus every turn, once it's finished), after that you have a choice - take the health information office, if you can get that built before the end of year 2, with a bit of luck you may never need to send anyone to the hospital or clinic as that will give them all a health boost each turn. The bed, the livestock and the plumbing are all very useful for helping the family stay healthy or making money, so get each as soon as you have enough money. Only buy the school uniform either when the child you want to educate needs the uniform, and not "just in case".īuy the books and as soon as you still have over 350 goud left after that send either Jean (the father) or Patrick (the elder son) to work and see if the construction worker job is available, if it is, buy the bicycle). That is, if you pick the right jobs, and don't "work hard" all the time, so that you don't let your health deteriorate to the point where you have cholera/TB etc.

Usually you won't need the toys or the radio at all.

It won't stop you getting colds forever, but it does seem to approximately double the time before the family come down with them. Once you are into the third (or even the second) season start to buy the Home Remedy every turn. The shoes allow their health to deteriorate more slowly as they workīuy books EVERY single round after that - this is the key to everyone getting education in the game.

Before you do anything else, buy shoes and books.
