Well, it used to be a hang for 10 sim minutes and go back to normal at 8:10, and it would hang at the time they get off from work also, for a few minutes. Then it became a hang with sims still going on about their business but the time being stuck at 8:00 am, but the clock would suddenly catch up later in the day. Now it stays 8:00 am and rarely corrects itself. It'll stay the same day on the clock.

Have I tried playng a new game? Not recently. I'm invested in the family I have now. I did try a few games when I first got LN so I could test out the Late Night stuff in Bridgeport, and I had similar issues! Also, sims getting stuck on elevators. Why the heck is it dark in the elevator? didn't they put lights in there? At any rate, when my sim was stuck in there she was very unhappy because it was so dark.

But, I returned to the family in Sunset Valley because they are raising a daughter, etc. In the Sims 2, I played ten generations of the same family! It's a challenge! 

I donated $10, of course I wish it could be more!, and I'm glad you can donate with PayPal! 

Thank you for a wonderful Mod and Site.

I finally got her out by having a Sim call her on the phone and inviting her to the art museum, and used NRAAS MC to delete the elevator. Thank you, though, I never considered that I could zoom into the inside of the elevator!

Yes, I'm using AM and playing an old family in Sunset Valley. I've added some Late Night buildings to Sunset Valley.

I've had this glitch for a while and it's gotten worse. In my game it now stays 8:00 am indefinitely. It used to snap to a time later in the day, but it now can stay 8:00 am the same day for seemingly ever.

I suspect it is the game itself hanging at a time when many Sims go to work, or other time-related events in the game.

Late Night Schmate Night, I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what's wrong with this game. Some days, more time trying to fix it than playing. Recently reinstalled the Sims 3, all exp packs and stuff packs in the order they were put out by EA. I figured maybe I had done something wrong by installing them in the wrong order, but now my game is more borked than before. It's an EA glitch that makes the game hang at 8 am. But if it hangs at 8 am on a Sunday and you skip past the time that paychecks are handed out for writing novels, then you miss out on your paycheck. Same thing on Mondays if the game hangs and you skip past the time that you you can collect money on purchased properties. After I installed all the stuff, new install!!!!, my Sims could no longer get jobs for Architect or Stylist. I'm screaming  bad words at EA for this effed up s**t. Today someone at a party at my Sims house got stuck on an elevator and all the party guests stood at the door for days. My household could not use the elevator. I teleported them around, but using 'resetsim Mimi Amour' (the sim stuck on the elevator) did no good whatsoever, and, yes, I spelled her name right. In Build Mode I could not delete the elevator with her on it, not even with "moveobjects on". I could however put the elevator in the middle of the lawn and replace the unit in the house with a new elevator unit. That's what I did. My sims now have a lovely elevator in the middle of their lawn containing one of their dearest friends.
