I have some games that I play during the day, and others that I play at night. I used to go into my evening games at about 7 am (their time) and had few problems. Now, due to a schedule change, I can "wake them up" at 6 am. It seems though, that they're confused at that time. They do things like "finding that annoying mosquito" and "calling the children for bed", which are clearly nighttime actions.

Does anyone know what the "official" morning is? 6 am? 7?

I've never thought of the "mosquito" action as purely night-time - it seems to happen randomly throughout the day for me. I usually start my game up at around 6.30 AM (before I go off to work) and I think the peeps think it's too early for the kids to be up, so they often go to bed on their own, or get sent there by a grown-up.

This is one I think I can help you with ajuma and others. I been testing this out kinda. smile

I set my games to all run day and night along with me. Only time I change the night to day is when I am playing late. Not late for just me/us but late for the peeps as well.

They work alot different then we would have thought ha. Like I notice just this pass week that they are not programed for day light savings, which for me I find to be great for role playing with the peeps. Here's how. laugh

Adults will mostly walk around the house all night and only sleep here and there if tired enough, but will making sure the kids staying in bed. If more then two kids are up they will call them all right back to bed always. Children will sleep most of the night, only getting up here and there for a drink of water or to play games then go right back to bed.

Time frame for the adults ages 18 and up.

Adults will start their day out at 6am or at 5am with daylight savings in effect. Now some will go right to working where others will still act like its night/bed time by "finding that annoying mosquito" or "getting a drink of water.

These adults won't react to morning for another hour till abt 7am or 6am with daylight savings in effect. Within this hour though these adults will go by cleaning the house, let them they will clean the whole house every task needed to be done will be.

Time frame for the kids ages 2 and up.

Children will start their day out an hour later mostly following the time of the first adults up and working, around 7pm. The older kids in their tweens and teens will be up earlier. The kids will get right up and go abt their playing. I found that in the morning alot of the times it is when the kids find/start new things to do.

Bed time frame for all peeps.

Kids will go to bed on there own at the right time for them, even if they are not tired, it has to do with what time it is and the age of the kid. I found that from age 2 once their mothers put them down, till abt age 3 and half they will go to bed at 7pm some starting at 6pm odd ones/good babies at 5pm(thought he was sick, but wasn't). Kids age 4 to abt 6 will go to bed starting around 8pm. Kids from age 7 to abt 16 will go to bed staring at 8:30pm. Kids and adults 17 and up will start to bed around 9pm.

I hope this helped, and that I didn't talk to much. laugh grin
