[Solved] Changing Game Time Speed with MC Command Center? Still not safe to do?
I hope posting this in General Discussion is okay, but I understand if the moderators move it to one of the modding sections.
I've mostly been away from the Sims for the last few years for a variety of reasons and I'm trying to get back in the swing of things with Sims 4 and I'm in the midst of starting over nearly from scratch with my game. I've spent the last month cleaning out my mods folder and just mostly doing a lot of testing things out vanilla to see what's working and what isn't since the last time I played at all (which was just briefly around Cottage Living release).
One thing I haven't been able to find much information on as I sort through things, besides just don't do it: is changing Game Time Speed with MC Command Center to make days longer. I remember I stopped doing this after Get Famous released, because it was said to break the Acting and other active careers. But I stopped playing shortly after that and never actually experienced it.
Now, years have gone by now and I can't remember the specifics or which version of Game Time Speed was said to have caused the problem. Back then I think there were still two versions: Absolute and Relative. Now it looks like there's just one. I know Absolute was always problematic and I used Relative, which functioned like Relativity from Sims 3.
So, I'm looking for feedback from people who are still using it to slow days down.
Does it break alarms in the active careers or not? I think the problem with Get Famous was that actors never got called to gigs with time changed. I was also wondering if there are any negative effects with University students or the Freelance careers? I can't remember if it ever affected events like parties, or at least I don't remember anything negative with events when I used it.
I know there can be a problem with the Calendar, but I remember that only happening when you changed time speed mid-save and that you needed to change it before starting a new game to keep the calendar on track.
I'd try testing this myself, but it's so time consuming to try and cover all the possible scenarios, that I thought I'd try posting here to see if anyone has any feedback they can share.
