Lot Sync Timer: All BlueSoups Suck Edition
moniquinin:
I need help with this - I've RFM which doesn't say much really on what everything does and I've read through this thread and am still unclear.
What exactly is Event Day - how do you use it?
And...I think I want to use the warp but want to make sure I wont screw up my game. Maybe I'm being too anal but the situation is this. I was playing the Broke family for a while - maybe 4 days. She gave birth to little Chav Broke and Beau had his birthday. I decided to get her engaged to a townie (who I made very wealthy) and move them out. I want this to be a "pretty woman"-esque story, Anyway, so they've moved to their mansion and now it's Monday 8:30am, but everyone in her family are three days older or whatever. All my other lots, I've basically just moved them in, set up stuff, saved, but not played much - at most it's the Tuesday on all the other lots. Is there a safe way I can make the Brandi Brokenomore Lot the thursday is should be, or should I just give it a fuckit and not be so anal?

Event day is for sequenced events. You know, things like aging. If you know a sim will age in +4 days, you can set this as your event day. When playing other lots, you will be notified when another lot is about to hit its scheduled event. Say you have a family. At the moment they're pretty dull at the moment. You know that someone will age up in 8 days. So you set "event day" for 8 days. Now you can stop playing them. Go to another lot. Play them. When day 8 is about to come up, you'll be notified that you should attend to these laggards, and hopefully you'll have thought of something interesting to do. No more having to stick to an ironclad rotation of 3 days (which can overrun events).

Time warp seems to have exhibited no ill effects to date, so it should be safe to use for this exact purpose, yes. I'd just say fuckit, though. Because if every single family is synchronized to be on the same day of week, remember that since Try For Baby Day is between Wednesday 1800 and Thursday around noonish, every single sprog will end up popping that exact same day, and you'll basically have babies show up in waves, which makes it difficult to keep a continuous rotation in Uni.

ahh...I see. You're right, let's see if I can let it go though - not having the days coincide. Thanks for answering so quickly.
ETA: My game has started crashing since I started installing this and I'm wondering if it had anything to do do with not yet having them installed on all my playable lots, which is the only thing I can think of. What happens is I place the thingie on my lot, (btw, I put in in the foundation and it does not go through the first floor) install for family, and play a bit because loading other lots takes too long. Eventually the game crashes. Any Ideas? And no, I haven't used the warp option.
J. M. Pescado:
What edition of game are you running? I'm not sure how it'd be related since it runs purely Maxian meshes, so it can't be that. Unless it's the NL random-illogical-BHAV-crash, but I don't see that happening either.
ThyGuy:
Do you think there could be a option so it announces which day it is at 18:00 hours? I set the event day to tell me when it's a certain day on the lot, but that day comes and goes and I never get notification.
