12-hr clock switched over to 24-hr on Bon Voyage install

[Tyraa Rane]

I installed BV and dropped in a no-CD.exe, because SecuROM sucks. Everything works fine, except that my 12 hour clock is now showing 24 hour time. The game swears left, right, and upside down that my language/location is still English (US), and just at a glance I don't see any issues with Sims' names being changed at random like I've heard happens when you switch locations mid-game. And yet I still have a 24-hour clock. I can live with that...I'm just not sure if it's a sign of something else being broken or not. And, okay, it's a little annoying.

So, why did my game switch over to 24 hour time? And how do I fix it? If it involves fussing around with the registry, I should warn you that I'm sort of a Windows n00b (grew up with Macs), so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing on that front and am afraid of blowing something up. So detailed instructions are nice.

Thank you!

Open up the Options panel. Select Game Options.  Toggle the "Force 12-Hour Clock" option to "Yes."

Sometimes that doesn't work. Mine would switch back to 24 hours again and again. Turns out my BV installed with UK_english.

It can take a registry adjustment to fix but honestly it's very easy.

After a glance at the registry, it turns out mine was, too. Whoops. Thanks for that link--got it fixed now, and nothing seems to have imploded.
