Time: Difference between revisions

In ''[[The Sims]]'', time is fairly simple. [[Bill]]s come every three days, but that is the only cycle; there are no days of the week. [[Sim]]s go to work or school every day, unless the player prevents them from going.

Time only passes on a [[residential lot]] when it is being played, so each household has its own time. When Sims visit a [[community lot]], time on their home lot stops, so Sims can spend hours or even days on community lots and return home shortly after they left.

Inviting Sims at or after midnight will always cause them to refuse regardless of relationship level; the exception to this is ''The Urbz: Sims in the City''.

In [[The Sims (console)|''The Sims'' for consoles]] and Free Play mode in ''[[The Sims Bustin' Out]]'', time works the same as in ''The Sims''. However, when playing ''Bustin' Out'' in Bust Out mode, time passes on all lots as it does in ''The Urbz: Sims in the City''.
