*sighs* ok, i inadvertantly time traveled again. i got a new computer desk and paused my villages and shut my computer down properly. however when i turned my computer back on i saw that the date on my computer was may of 2002. since my villages were already paused, i went ahead and set the date to the correct date and when i unpaused my villages i saw i had problems. one village seemed ok but now i see that the villagers arent aging, stats arent increasing, harvest is the same. however my fire time is going down. the other villages are aging however one village says it will be almost 3 million minutes before my harvest is ready. i might have miscalcuted but that seems to be 5 years before it's ready. the other village is more reasonable, maybe only 3 months before the harvest is ready. i am wondering about the events catching up though. will it be 5 years before it's caught up? or since it was the past will it not be a factor and therefore i just need to wait for the other stuff to catch up? are my villages salvagable?

It's hard to say exactly what will happen, and a lot depends upon what was happenening in each game when the clock adjustments were made.

The only way to know the effect on the Island Events is to have saved the log file that contains the last event for each game. There is a way, by examining the log file, to determine when the next one should happen, but only if you save it right after an event occurs. The log file is erased and recreated each time you launch the game.

I wouldn't abandon them, though, until you determine how badly affected they are.

thanks for your advice. \:\)

so perhaps since my last events happened before the time traveling happened it should mean that the next scheduled one should have been roughly the next day. that day has come and went so perhaps it's just waiting for the other stuff to catch up first. *shrugs* i hope so. \:\)

You're absolutely correct... If you don't have any patience, then this obviously isn't the game for you.

I once set the clock ahead a couple hours in VV1 and everyone almost died...but I fixed them, though! They lived, but my crops took forever to grow. Don't mess with the clock...

I agree. Also I have to admit that I used to do that in VV1, but I realised what it can do. If you want to live your game to the fullest - dont time warp! \:\)

Though I posted this some time ago...see the date...I think it still applies.

Time travel....in plain language

Good Luck! \:\)
