why isnt there already a night and day cycle
I dont know why they still havent added one but i feel as if it would be wrong for them not to add it during this event and just keep it as the norm afterwards everything would look so much better at...

To my eye, it looks like the game is using baked lighting. To do a day night cycle, they would have to use exclusively realtime lighting. Areas in shadow will start to look much flatter. One of the trade offs when doing a day night. Switching the entire city from baked to realtime is not a quick task. They'd also have to go around the city and make sure each are is adequately lit at night. Would be really annoying if you struggled to complete a challenge because you can't see.
Even if they did a separate bake just for night (no day night cycle), it would still take a lot of time as the art team would have to light the city for night.
