Why won't the villagers make any children?

[Addelon]

The first generation is dying off now and my population is really going down. The seccond generation is in their 30-40's now but they won't make babies. What am i doing wrong?

build houses and stuff to make your population happy like chapel and brewery ect

[PositivelyBleak]

ok I had this problem before when i first started playing the game and I did so many mistakes. In order to increase population these are the following things you need to watch out for
1.health
2.happiness
3.and the number of houses.
The higher the rate of health and happiness the more likely villagers will ♥♥♥♥ each other and make babies for health I would recommend building gatherers and/or herbalists which together will increase your health to the max since gatherers produce 4 food types (mushrooms,roots,muttons etc) and herbalists which will keep ur people healthy. Make sure u put these two in well forest dense areas. For happiness i would start with a cemetery because without one happiness goes down then build a chapel and tavern because cemetery requeres the minimum of resources and trust me the chapel takes forever to build. And build more house so that new couples and move in and stuff.

toons of breeding age wont make babies until they have moved out of their parents' house

not that realistic - i guess the developer hasn't visited inner city birmingham .. *spits*

It was too late for my town but now i know what to do to prevent it from happening again atleast

Another potential pitfall here: Adults who live alone will not have children, and they won't find a mate unless you "evict" them while there's another adult (or student, creepy!) available to pair off with. One of the worst things you can do is have someone move into a house alone while there's nobody old enough to pair off with and then have them live single through till their forties. I believe it may find them the next available mate automatically, but as often as not they'll find another younger townie they'll find another young townie their own age to "marry" first.

Long story short: Only build a house when you've got at least one male and one female that are eleven or older.

Noted, and 11 year olds? thats creepy and all kinds of wrong man!

The breeding age is 10-39. You need to start to slowly build houses in the first 10 years, otherwise most of your villagers will be too old.

A few houses per year usually does the trick, without draining your resourses.
