I tried looking, but I can't find it. What does the Time Warp do?
It allows you to set the exact day/hour/minute on the lot. If you try to use it you will get several strongly worded messages telling you not to do it. But if you want to try it, use Time Warp to set the day/hour/minute to what you want, then click Engage to actually make the change. (Or Abort to cancel, if you change your mind.)

The Lot Jumping tool shouldn't be used after you've installed OFB. It's been fubar'd since then.
This all happened while my net connection was down, so I had to find that out for myself - I just posted that in the hope it'd be useful ;)

Why so strongly worded? What kind of bugs would it trigger?

I also would like to know of any possible problems. I really need to move my main Royal Family to a 'more playable' home i've already built them. I already know i need to do this when everyone is at home (preferably before everyone goes off to work/school. I've already tested it on a 'throw-away' family, but i only changed the hour/minute, not the day, went thru the entire day and the day changed at midnight correctly. For the Royal Family, i'll be changing the day from monday to friday, plus moving back time 30 minutes.

Some things operate in a "pulse" mode where they're supposed to occur at a specific time. When that time occurs, they then perform a "long pulse" of waiting an hour's worth of ticks. If you change the time out from under it like that, there's no telling how confused it might get. In most experiments, there do not appear to be any lasting effects from changing the hour, or changing times on community lots, but changing anything other than the day can be potentially risky on residential lots.
