In game time
Is it possible for in game time to go by in real life time like every minute IRL is a minute in game or can I do every minute IRL 5 minutes in game. I don't play yet but can y'all tell me please 😭🥺...

@keke1253 I haven't played animal crossing but I can say for sure 100% I definitely would not want my sims to be doing whatever they want while I'm away. lol
@JonaO703 Do they stop or does the game pause when you stop playing. Btw ik about the pause and 2x 3x buttons.
@keke1253 When you exit the game, everything is frozen until you open the game again. Trust me, you want this! lol There is so much that can happen that you will want at least some control. Careers / school, birthdays, relationships, having babies and on and on. You really won't want to miss anything in your played sims' lives and you definitely won't want to allow them to make their own decisions about many things. While playing the game, the unplayed sims will do things and gain experiences that you do not control. This can be limited or encouraged depending on your settings.
@keke1253 You're welcome! The game is so complex with so many different variables it would be nearly impossible to describe it all at once; not to mention the added features from the various packs if/when you choose to add them. Fortunately, you have AHQ as a resource. Whenever you have a question or run into a problem, there are lots of folks here who enjoy helping. :-)
@keke1253 I play Animal Crossing New Horizons and I really dislike the way that it's in real time and linked to the date set on the console. I much prefer the Sims not being in real time.
When I haven't played Animal Crossing for a while, I have to remember the date of the last time I played and set my Nintendo Switch to that date or my villagers get really annoyed at Mini Me and want to move away or in the case of snooty villagers they give me quite a piece of their mind (Bree and Astrid were ejected from my island after such incidents). I started time travelling backwards if I wanted to skip across seasons to avoid villagers kicking off, so my Switch is set to Oct 2020 right now. The game itself starts out great, it's less buggy and I love it but it gets really repetitive since you can only have one character, with Sims you can have dozens with everyone being different for more variety. Plus you can miss festivals and events on AC if you miss certain days...I don't want to miss Flick's visits!
You can't time travel on the Sims like you can with AC but you don't really need to and, unlike AC if you have the Seasons Pack installed each season is only 28 days max and you can shorten it to 7 days. I wish we could do that on AC in fact that's why I time travel...I hate winter.
- @simsplayer818 Well I really don't have trouble in acnh when not coming for a week my villagers don't leave I've been playing 5 days straight and gonna play today, though the reason I want the time to be longer is because I see time goes quick and you can change the time. If you've played bloxburg that's how I want the time.
- @keke1253 No I've not played that game. The good thing about Sims 4 is now that it's gone free to play you get to try it out first as the free base game at no cost and see how you get on with it. I looked for some games similar to ACNH for Switch because I use mine in the evenings but I bought some and they were really bad. It was too late to do anything about it as I'd already wasted the money on them, Switch games are pretty expensive too 😫.
- @simsplayer818 After I get my PC I'ma get Sims 4, but have you ever got cheap games on switch under 25 there's a game called Lego police undercover, Mario Cart deluxe 8 $60 +35 if you want booster course which I bought, roller champions free, and asphalt 9. There all fun.
- @keke1253 Thanks I'll take a look. I've got most of the Mario ones but not that one. I just finished Sparks of Hope so I'm just keeping my ACNH island weed free for now while I look for new Switch games.
- @simsplayer818 If you really like calm games I recommend the mountain bike game you can get the demo free I have the full game though but look up mountain bike beautiful scenery and the Lego undercover is nice if you like driving, flying, and boat riding though it's a story mode one so you have to do that before you can do Freeplay but you can not do the missions lol 🤣 you can even hit people.
- @keke1253 Thanks 😁
- @simsplayer818 Your welcome 🤗
