  • @MagicNeko13 Whatever time of day it was when you left your last played household will carry over to build mode when you start building on any lot.

  • I suppose it's because nighttime is when it's most convenient to build. There usually seems to be too much going on during the day to interrupt it for a build session. Build/Buy mode starts with the current time phase but you can change it to other phases by pressing L or clicking on the sun/moon symbol at the righthand end of the Build/Buy tools.

  • just fyi you can switch it from night while in build mode by pressing the letter 'L' on keyboard. idk if there is a different method for console players.
