UPDATE: Limey Yoshi has messaged me that they've created a fix to the Chris Hatch's version of the Community Time Project mod, which fixes a known problem when an error occurs if the player closes the "time remaining" popup, as well as problems with time calculation (the original version didn't calculate the correct amount of time if the Sim was away for more than 72 hours). Go check it out here!

So glad to have one more video this year! This new format suits you well!

this bug is the disctionary example of "your dad left to get milk" joke tbh

I went years without having this glitch and I just so happened to watch this video a few days ago and thought "thats interesting, but I'm so lucky i've never had this problem!" fast forward a few days later and here I am... Had the error, but at least this video is the reason why I know how to fix it now!

You can't be serious, what is this timing.. I just got the community time project for the first time and instantly encountered this glitch. You are my saviour ❤

[@bubulinacat]

omg, someone giving some context to the force error options was just what i needed! i used to treat it like a chance card the first few times i got it and freaked out when i deleted a sims once lmao

This is a great informative video! A long time ago when I had this bug (by using the community lot parties mod in tandem with the community time mod by Chris Hatch), I actually fixed it in another way by going into SimPE, opening the affected sim, and trial and error deleting one of their hidden tokens that had no description whatsoever if I remember correctly, if the issue still persisted, I would go back to the backup and delete another token and so on until the carpool arrived again and that message didn't appear (as the token that introduced that glitch was deleted, I think because parties by default are only supposed to happen on livable lots, the community time mod treats the community lot as a residential lot, which creates all sorts of problems, but I'm not really sure), but this method is so much more efficient and faster as we don't have to go to SimPE anymore and I'm really thankful for that! Thank you for your amazing videos April as always and I hope you have had an outstanding year! <3

Just wanted to add, if you ever click reset all with testing cheats on holding down esc cycles through them all really fast it usually only takes a minute or two to get through them all. That way you don't have to lose your save or spend forever clicking through them all :)

“… I’ll be back pretty soon”. April we miss you!

I treat time freezing in your house as a feature rather than a glitch

After playing the sims three I couldn't go back to playing without story progression. So I got the story progression mod and a nice side effect of it is that it comes with the time mod that fixes the community lot issue (for me anyway)

[@floopyboo]

I am stunned by the sheer amount of information that has been lost to time. This was a known fix when the mod came out, it was the first fix suggested for literally every mod, and I'm pretty sure the original creator posted this as a fix for the bug.

[@TheMya1988]

I am probably in the minority of those who dislike the Community Time mod, because I often play with witches/warlocks, sending them off to the castles to grind out magic skills, and stock up on potions for days at a time, using the throne and spells to keep needs high. With the mod, most of my Sims would age up upon return. I also like to send Sims on dates or community lots prior to school/work to give extra boosts to their aspiration meters. Also, when working with this mod, having families and community lot businesses do not play well, even paying close attention to the time. Because nannies cannot track work schedules for owned businesses, you run the risk of 1) A nanny leaving (or glitching out), while you are stuck in limbo.

Smartest sim youtuber I watch and she

[@Ecter]

Oh, that carpool. You just reminded me of an awful issue i had on non-modded game.

[@Sharie_mabari]

I don't even use this mod but when you upload I will always watch! I do like the sound of this mod, but heard about the problems which made me not even want to try it.

[@Secondhand-Feraligatr12349]

There is also a way to force error on a sim while they are off world. With testing cheats on shift click on the mailbox and under the other category there is an interaction called "obect - interaction" I think. that interaction fores an error on the selected sim without having to click the sim.

I don’t even play the Sims and I love her videos

[@Random_Thought_Generator]

I'm so glad people are creating new content about the sims 2, a game that came out almost 20 years ago. I especially like how much in depth you go in your videos. Thank you for your videos, you are the best!
