Very impatient dates bug
Simsample:
You said you tried with a vanilla game, but did that include a clean Sims2 folder in My Documents? I'm wondering if it's something screwy about a particular hood, or config or something.
McNum:
By vanilla I mean uninstall the game, delete the EA GAMES folder in My Documents, delete all Sims 2 program files, and reinstall to a different location, just to be sure. I made a new Neighborhood with no Pleasantview or Seasons imports and repopulated it with the NPC and Townie maker dead tree. I made a new Neighborhood for each new test of the game. So yeah, pretty clean.
It's... not so clean anymore. After discovering the Normal Speed workaround, then I started remodding the game. It probably was a good thing to get the Downloads folder wiped, though. I had a lot of junk I didn't use there. Now every single mod is Seasons compatible, guaranteed, and any conflicts have been addressed.
But vanilla or heavily modded, my result is the same. Speed 3 means standing up the date. Speed 1 and Speed 2 means the date works. I just wonder what the hell happened to Vista two weeks ago. It's gotta be Vista, there's nothing else it could be now.
And for the record, Sims 2 is beginning to become a pain to install correctly from base game and up. All those CDs and "We think you're a dirty thief! Prove us wrong!" serial codes get old real fast. I mean it's not like serial codes prevent ARR! versions of the game. All original disks here, though. I just don't play the EPs I don't think are worth the money.

Yeah, most probably.

Yea, tell me about it -- I spent about 2 hours yesterday doing just that, after doing a re-install of XP on my machine. It gets nuts.
SimGeekChick:
I have the same problem with dates. I tested it on a Vanilla game no hacks no CC too. I gave up and just had the dates come to the house then call the cab. I've got Vista and a dual core. I'll have to try the speed changing tactic.
