married for money

There seems to be some type of issue with the married for money mini scenario that pops up randomly within gameplay. When choosing the "money money money" option, aka the one that then forces you to find someone to marry within 7 days, it doesn't actually count down the 7 days correctly and instead seems to fast forward the allotted time. At first I thought I had just lost track of time the first time I noticed it happened with a sim, but this time around I specifically did the math of what day my sim would have to be married by (a Tuesday), and then saw on Saturday that it was now listed at 15 hours remaining to get married. Then suddenly the tense moodlet that had the countdown disappeared altogether when switching between sims within the same household even though there should still be at least 14 hours remaining; a fact I came across when I noticed the sims 'advanced werebies' countdown initially matched up to the tense moodlet when they both read 15 hours remaining. All-in-all I'm just confused why the countdown is completely inaccurate and seems to have been so for a while now. I can't say for sure if this has been an issue from the first time it was introduced to the game (I believe it was around the time that eco-lifestyle came out) because when I came across it the first time around I simply had my sim get married asap, but now for storyline purposes I've attempted to drag it out a little only to lose out on it completely. If anyone has any information or has experienced the same thing and found a solution, it would be greatly appreciated so that I could go back to playing the game at the pace I'd prefer for gameplay convenience's sake. Thanks.
