Missing the Hours
TheCheat:
Maxis may have broken it with an expansion then, because I know for a fact I've seen "6:00 PM" before while waiting for a certain Sim to age so I could start a birthday party. It may have been base game-only or Uni-only, but I wouldn't remember which.
Mike:
An expansion pack probably did it. It didn't happen until I bought one.
twojeffs:
That happens because Maxis sets almost every one of its objects and controllers to update every hour on the hour. Since there is a huge amount of code running the clock skips. It's not a big deal. The more EPs you have, the more objects and controllers, the more time it takes to update, the more often the clock will skip at the top of the hour.
Avalikia:
It's no big deal really. I find that minute :59 tends to last about twice as long as normal minutes. Incidently, I've seen a few people on the BBS saying that if you give your sim the command to stargaze using the expensive telescope at exactly 12:00 at night they'll always be abducted. I've never seen that time not skip (I imagine with the day change there's a particularilly large amount of code running), so I suspect that it's a practical joke because they end up with lots of repiles saying something along the lines of "Hey, it went from 11:59 to 12:01."
TheCheat:
Thank you for the replies. I'll get back to plotting against Maxis now, except with increased fervor at this outrage... ;)
