In Simcity, how does time pass? Is the clock and date at the bottom of the game screen 1:1 (aka "real time") or is it accelerated. For examples, how long is a second, a minute, an hour, a day, a mo...

Hi @nsiebold - as Darko said, the time in SimCity is not "real time" and which speed you use greatly affects how long in real time it takes to pass. I've never used a stopwatch to figure out the actual conversion, but found This Post from someone who did. The times listed sound about right to me, except for their day/month. A SimCity month is equal to a SimCity day (24 hours). So, it will probably take about 15 hours real time in normal speed to play a full SimCity month, or 2 hours real time in Cheetah speed.
I play in normal speed and pause a lot, and it always seems to go by faster than I expected 🙂
