Moving Clocks? Video From The Sims France

HIFreeBirdIH

The Sims France has released a video for daylight savings time where they place a huge emphasis on the clock and it's moving hands. Sims Community has uploaded it their Youtube channel.

What do you think?

Maybe it is just about the latest patch and the fixed super speed when Sims sleep?

I'm not quite sure. It was released by an official Sims website, so we know it's about something besides DSL if they show the clock off so much.

The tweet literally talks about daily savings, because we change time tomorrow.

I think that clock doesn't even look circular. Are all the objects that bad??? What the heck?

Too hard, too expensive to make decent 3D models

Weird thing is the video draws attention to the fact that clock hands do not actually move in game...

It's probably edited. At one point she's sleeping at normal speed but the clock still moves really quickly.

The static clocks is another thing that really bothers me to no end. Like seriously, what's the point in having clocks if they don't even move. Well yes, too hard, too expensive.

There are two possibilities:

1. They just did this for promotional purposes and that's really a bit sad I think. Having to use a feature that was normal in the past but not in game now.
2. Moving clock hands will make their return and the whole community will feel happy and blessed and greatful (thank you thank you thank you to Maxis and the team!) over yet another feature we didn't think twice about in the older versions of the game.

Lol, yes, exactly. It's beyond pathetic that the community is always so hyped and excited about basic stuff that should have been in the base game instead. It's pretty sad.
