Problem with the clock.advance cheat.

Hi. I'm pretty well versed in cheats as I use them often, but I can't get the time cheat to work. I watched a youtube video showing exactly how to type in the cheat and it worked for him but not for me. This is exactly what I'm doing...

testingcheats true (I enter that and it confirms the cheat is enabled. Then I type the time cheat)

clock.advance_game_time 5 33 (I enter that to advance 5 hours and 33 minutes)

This is done while paused in live mode. When he enters that, his clock immediately advances while still paused. When I do all the same things, nothing happens... not even after I unpause it.

Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you.

I have the seasons expansion pack. Do you think the time frame within a season could be blocking the cheat somehow?

edit to add I just read an old post on this subjects and Miss Spiffey replied to someone the following:
"Just as a heads up, this cheat no longer seems to work with the Season's Expansion."

Now I need to learn how to turn off the season pack. lol

    This should help with deactivating a pack. https://simscommunity.info/2017/03/22/the-sims-4-how-to-disable-packs/
  • Thank you both very much. I did disable the seasons pack but the clock cheat still didn't work, so I enabled it again.

    But that's quite alright because I found a workaround. I've been building for about 6 months and finally downloaded the Better Buy/Build mod and T.O.O.L. mod yesterday... and I'm loving them!

    With those 2 mods, I can now use free cam and take my screenshots in build mode. This allows me to easily change from morning, afternoon, evening and night, so no more need for the clock advance.

    These 2 mods are awesome!
