Speed not working

[shadow]

The clock won't speed up. It just runs on normal speed all the time even when the fastest is turned on.  Anyone else had this problem.  It just started on mine today.

Edit:  I just checked and there were several invisible people on my lot so I cleared them off and it seems to be working again.  I don't know if this is a new form of the slow-down bug. The game is new so can't be generations or memories. ??

Nothing new about this one--it's been around since the beginning of TS2!  It's how I ended up with 50 gardeners spawned in my neighborhood once!  Yes, that's 50 gardeners.  I counted them using SimPE.  I about fell over!

Then the house I was playing at the time (this was last October) just kept getting slower and slower.  At that time I didn't realize invisible service workers could be on their lot so they got booted out and moved back in, which also fixed the problem.
