How to change year?
So i completed the main story(not broken steel) and decided i would well play it.
but then i discovered i havent completed the vault quest so i went back and completed it and then i finally went to point lookout (and by now it was 77/12/12) so i completed it and then i went back to cw. But then it was 77/13/12.
so how do i change the year?

sorry. couldn't help myself. i'd bet you can find it on the fallout 3 wiki, if you don't have time to wait for someone with a real answer.

as far as I know you can't, you can mess with how long it takes the game to count the time but you have to wait out that too and I have a feeling it makes the game instable if you make it too fast
anyway, I don't understand, what's your problem with the year?

wow xD
are you sure it's not some messed up year/day/month format?
maybe it's because my game is modded but I have a day/month/year format ingame and in the pipboy, where do you exactly see this date?:D

"The Pip-Boy clock will not advance the year, but will continue adding to the months, leading to dates like 13.21.77."

okay,now I googled a bit and found some info on the wiki
traveling to point lookout takes 1 ingame month and this is what's the cause of trouble, because it was programmed in such a way that it adds +1 month to your date - you just found it by a really off-chance, namely, you traveled in december, so 12+1=13 :D
Here[fallout.wikia.com]'s the link to the page and some additional info about the really buggy dates it can cause
