24h clock setting, please
I'm not American, but I play with English and then I get am/pm which is unnatural to me. Couldn't you look into adding a setting for if you want 24h clock or 12h one?

Yes, please!!! Let's hope they add it sooner than later!
I'm from the US too, but everywhere I've ever worked has used 24-hour time, so I'm used to it. (It's simple: if the number is more than 12, subtract 12!) I have my laptop set to 24-hour time, but Sims insists on using 12-hour! This should be selectable from the game options! (The 12 o'clocks are particularly confusing for me, since they're technically neither AM nor PM, but MIDNIGHT and NOON. 00:00 and 12:00 are unambiguous.)
that could be nice
Maybe it's confusing,but that's not an excuse when the previous games had it. The Sims 2 had a toggle button and The Sims 3 I think used your region to decied what format to use. Shame that the supposedly best game can't do something so basic.
Yes,it's beyond confusing,I wish they had it like in the previous games
I'd love it if they brought it back from the previous games.
Maybe true,but in The Sims 2 we had a toggle option in the settings,and in The Sims 3 I think it disaplyed it based on the region. In The Sims 4,there is none of that. But Sims 4 always has to be special,after all.
that's so fair though I'm surprised it isn't out yet but it would be a good thing to implement but would love to see it!
As someone who uses the 24 hour clock, I am very confused by the AM PM stuff,especially because some places are so dark i can't even tell if it's day or night. The Sims 2 has a setting for you to choose what clock to use,The Sims 3 also had the 24 clock for me too,probably based on region or something. The Sims 4 has been out for 11 years and we don't even have a setting for something this basic,something previous games had just bacause it makes perfect sense to have? I wish in a next update we had a setting for this,plenty of people would use is,maybe milions,even though that's maybe a stretch but I feel like it isn't. It would just be very helpful to have a toggle option.
Perti23, I can't speak for all English speakers, but I know a majority of Americans find the 24hr format more confusing. For people that I know, 6am and 6pm is less complicated. I only know the military time clock because I was an Air Force brat in my childhood during the 1980's and 1990's. Outside of the military, I don't think most Americans really use it, thus why saying 1800 hours is confusing to them.
