    Free play, time going backwards?

    I have downloaded the Sims freeplay and the time in the game is going backwards. This is happening on my ipod (which has the latest update) and on our ipad. How do I fix it?

      Same thing here, I'd appreciate an answer too. I read somewhere that it moves in actual real time...I wonder if it's a bug which is causing time to go backwards to 'catch up' to the current day and time? Ha, probably a silly guess, but backwards time is silly...

      Since it's on your iPod maybe your time is off a little in settings, to EA server for the game. You how you have to have an Internet connection to p,ay the game. Just a thought. Have not noticed on my iPhone or iPad.

      I have NOT had this problem on my ipad, but today I downloaded it to my iphone for the first time and I noticed it said it was Monday instead of Sunday, as it should. I didn't take note while I played if time started to go backward or not. It is possible. I didn't play that long and went back to my ipad game which I had built up quite a lot.

      I will have to check and see if it is indeed going backward on my iphone.

      ADDED: Yep; time is going backward on my iphone game. I assume when it catches up to 'real' time, it will go forward as it does on my ipad.
