I am having sporadic restocks too. Looks like every 12 hours still, I will have to time it. But no time traveling, no pausing. For me its like the time starts over if I close the game and then open it 3 hours later... So I either have to open the game then close it and not play for at least 8 hours, or leave it running all day if I want it to restock.

I think the 8 hours start counting when you open the game. Like if I open the game at 11 am I'll have new items in the store, and then I'll only have new items at the store at 7 pm so I'll open the game at about that hour, and then I'll have new items again at 3 am but at that hour I'm sleeping so I end up by only seeing new items twice a day although they're refreshed 3 times a day.

I thought the .04 update changed restocks to every 4 hours though.

I have five families and on two of the families the store will not restock. oddly enough it is the two families i started out with. the other three restock on schedule

ever since I updated to .04 the blank spots I had won't restock! it's been two or three days and one family is only getting different outfits restocked but none of the blank spaces are being filled

Mine started restocking after I updated to the .05 version today

I haven't gotten a restock since friday.

after downloading .05 My store in all of my games restocked at 6p.m. and should have at 10 but didn't.

I downloaded the update today .. and mine has not restocked in 6 hrs. I have not paused nor changed time.

my store didnt restock until after 3 am. it seems to still be on the 8 hr restock
