Oh dear, looks like the day related goals haven't been removed. Glad you stood firm on not skipping it. I'm not too bothered with keys after the less than rare items I got for my 10 keysErinPW wrote:Did we think, the day related goals are over? My current goal is: "Have 6 sims watch a tv series on wednesday between 8 and 10pm". It showed up last friday. And yay, I didn't break down, no LPs for skipping that goal

Technically it is cheating, on the other hand, the only advantage is "flexible" start times. Nothing else is affected. I have not tested this on iOS, but I have no doubt it'll work.
Those of you who know my other forum posts, know I often mentioned Unix time being at the base of the game. This means that wherever in the world you are, Unix time is the same as everywhere else.
This is important to know, since it serves as the staring point for lots of things. The starting times or time frames of jobs, school and goals are in LOCAL TIME! This is ideal, because if you set your local time zone to the time zone of 9PM you can have your Firefighter start at just after Noon if you want to. Or do that "Watch TV at Midnight" task a little earlier.
Warning: NEVER change the time and especially not the date on your device. This changes Unix time and will mess up your game!
What you can do is adjust the time zone to suit your needs with a +6 or -6 hours away from your local time. If you try more, expect it NOT to work. So if you're on EST, your time frame is EST + 6 hours or EST - 6 hours.
Let's say I need to have a Sim catch a ghost between 10PM and 6am, but I'm unable to make that time. I can force the game to do the task in the following way:
- Force close (iOS) or exit (Android) the game
- In the settings of your device, change the time zone to where it's the time you need (9PM or later in the above example)
- Start the game again and it shows the time of your device in the new time zone, allowing you to start the task (or jobs or school).
- Exit the game or simply go to the settings again to change the time zone back.
It does NOT finish any tasks that are in progress, nor does it change the time it takes for a task! But the ability to shift starting times is quite useful.
Remember: Time Zone adjustments only, DO NOT TOUCH TIME ITSELF!![]()

Another week to complete this goalMisteriese wrote:Day related goals are still here?ErinPW wrote:[snip]

No! How would that be if you have a week to do it? Like you had that goal on Thursday and you have two days to complete it!
I am kinda low on LP stash so I am not skipping those goals.
patience is really needed here.
GOAL COMPLETED!
Be patient with goals. Do not use LP to skip.
Reward: ?
