Is there a way to change the day?

Sleepycat:

Is there is a way to change what day a household is on?  :hmm: 

I'm trying to play a neighborhood in sync and 12 households are on Friday, while 9 are on Tuesday. I could play one group and catch them up to the others (or move the Friday group into new houses) but it'd be so much easier if I could just change the damn day (specially since I actually decorated some of the houses the Friday group are in!). :P 

It'd also be handy when I move other sims into the hood or a Uni student graduates and moves straight into a new house. I'm so tired of trying to work around the always-Monday move-in day.

The Lot Sync Timer allows you to do this - dire warnings abound, but it's perfectly safe to do, I have been doing it for ages and with around 70 households to keep in sync it comes in very handy.  I then make sure the Seasons are in sync with the Weather Controller.

doren:
The temporal adjuster of Insim also allows you to change the day of the week but it resets as soon as you leave the household in any way, including going to community lots. I did that recently with Simon Broke's family because I wanted them to move into the new house but not deny them their weekend.

ZZ is that the same with the lot sync timer?

zephyrzodiac:
No, doren, the Sync Timer is permanent.  At present, all my houses that have been played this rotation are on Friday morning, those that haven't been played are on Wednesday, but my Uni graduate households have number of days played which are not the standard *move in on a Monday* number of days, but an attempt to reflect when they graduated in relation to other graduates.   If I move a family on Wednesday morning, I use the timer to reset the lot to the correct day, usually after the welcome wagon has been, etc., but while everyone is actually on the lot.

doren:
Searching what people had to say about the lot sync timer (can't help it, I don't trust the man..) I came across this as an idea to change the day of the week. Clever idea:

"I don't know of any cheat to change the day of the week, but you could type in the cheat bar: sethour 23. That will make it 11 P.M., then just wait a sim hour (or go on a faster speed). Keep repeating that until you get to the day you want. When you get to the right day of the week, change it to the time of day you want it to be  (ex: sethour 9 to make it 9 A.M.) Hope that helps!"
