Yep, the pause doesn't work here as well.

But a funny thing happened though. I was playing my game in 2 different computers, so I always had a backup of the game on my pendrive. The thing is that I started playing in just one of them and one of these days, while browsing my pendrive files I bumped on this backup (from like 2 generations ago). I got curious to see if they died (it'd been about 3 weeks after I last played it).

I opened the game with these files and it turned out the peeps were fine!!!! They were old, but all alive!! The oldest son had not yet gone to college (!), the house was a mess (lots of loose socks and spots and weeds and wrappers *laughs*), the dad was about 57 (about the age I've left him with), just sneezing a bit, and hungry. But that was it.

Oh, and I didn't pause the game when I left, so it seemed the time has stopped there.
