Lost An Entire Day
« on: March 10, 2016, 06:15:34 AM »
Hey there Simmers.  :) So I decided to play my first fun game in a long time (About six months or so), I created some Sims, plonked them on a lot with a house and went in build mode for a while. When I exited build mode it was around 9:pm Sim time.  So I'm just wondering, how on earth did I manage to lose an entire Sim day just building?!  :-\ I only did a couple of rooms, so weird. Is this a new bug? Or do new game files automatically start at 9:pm now instead of 8:am like they used to? Anyone know? I'm kind of confused (And slightly annoyed) right now.  :-\

Hi Rainbow Dash, I've spent a few hours in build mode also today tryng to figure out what might have gone wrong. I couldn't replicate what happened to you without going into live mode to 'look' at the build and direct my sims around etc or by not hitting pause (like PaisleyByrd stated).

I'm not sure what to suggest other than save your build to your library when you get it completed and save your sim. (Your sim will already be in your library so you'd only need to save her/him again if there was any skills gain.) Then start a new game, download your house and enter live mode and take it from there. Least that way you will still have your new house and yet your game will be back at the beginning of the day.

It's possible I left Live Mode running, I was watching t.v at the time so I was kind of distracted, I am pretty sure I had paused it though. :/ So anyway, I made a new game and recreated my Sims from scratch, moved into the same house, went into Build Mode for a while. No problems, still around 8:am Sim time. :) So either it was a bugged game or I didn't pause Live Mode after all. :)

I'm glad you got it sorted. Not pausing shouldn't matter, seems all a bit weird but the good thing is it is easy to start again!  :) And thanks to you I got engrossed in build mode which I haven't used for a while! lol
