How do you time warp? Not that I would do it but when I tried with the old game early on in getting it, my mothers never stopped nursing! It sucked had to start over. Anyway that little glitch made me wonder, what happens with day light savings time? Will it glitch on its own? Goddessjuno

Normally, the time changes involved with Daylight Savings Time don't affect the game, because they occur overnight when most people aren't playing the game. If your game is off overnight (meaning that you have Quit the game), the clock will be adjusted before you start it back up in the morning, and there will simply be one more or one less hour since the game was last run.

The only time you have to be concerned about the time change is when you are actually running the game at the time the system clock is adjusted. It's best just to turn the game off (Quit) for the night twice a year when the DST changes occur.

But with congress having changed the date, our computers aren't going to change on the right day now... You will have to adjust it yourself... So I am taking it from your post that as long as we don't have the game up and running when we adjust the time for DST everything will be ok?

There is an update for your operating system that will take the new DST dates into consideration. If you choose not to install the update, then just don't adjust your clock while the game is running.

Yes, that would be a great place to find the update if you're running Windows. For Mac users, there's also an update available from Apple. \:\)

Beginning in 2007, most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

So for 2007, DST starts March 11 at 2am and ends Nov 4 at 2am.
