Description
Welcome to Real Time!



Are you wondering why your Cims never sleep and keep working and studying all night long? Do you also think that the "days" flying by on the time bar are not so real? A fully-crowded bouncy castle park in the middle of the night is not that nice, right?

Well, then this mod is for you! Real Time makes the game more real and way more challenging! You have to prove you are a good city planner and builder!

Please read the FAQ! This helps you avoid common mistakes when using Real Time!
Please read the FAQ! Maybe your question is already answered.

Key Features

Time flow
  • The game time flows slowly. You can configure the speed for the daytime and for the night time.
  • The sunrise and the sunset times depend on the map location and on the day of year. For example, the days in summer are longer than in winter.
  • Citizens grow up slower. 1 in-game day equals to 1 citizen's year. Citizens live up to 85 years, so with Real Time - up to 85 in-game days.
  • Slower aging changes the education system: a child needs 5 in-game days to graduate from an elementary school and become a teen. A teen needs 10 in-game days to graduate from a high school and become a young adult. Finally, a student needs another 5 in-game days to get the highest education level.
  • The Academic Year of the Campus DLC lasts for 7 in-game days

Work...
  • The adult citizens go to work in the morning. The children go to school.
  • The adults may also work second shift and even night shift! And even on weekends! See the work shifts overview for details.
  • Expect a lot of traffic! Prepare your roads and plan wisely. Don't underrate the pedestrian paths and pavements! Citizens like to walk and do that often!
  • Citizens need some food for breakfast, so they try to find shops that are closely located to their homes. Make them happy, place some commercial buildings in your residential districts!
  • Like in real life, the citizens will be working hard and will need a break. They will go out for lunch, if you place some commercial buildings near the citizens' workplaces.
  • Citizen now can go on vacation for some days! Families prefer to go on vacation all together (parents and children).

...and relax
  • The school ends earlier, so the children can have spare time!
  • After work or school, the citizens go shopping or relaxing. They also might find somewhere a freaky bar or a cozy restaurant (a leisure commercial building) and go party!
  • Of course, children stay at home in the late evening.
  • Maybe, the citizens will attend some events like a football match. In addition to the game events, there are some other events for various unique buildings in your city.
  • Tourists can stay in your city for longer, and if you have some hotels, they'll go there for sleepover.
  • In the night time, no one will visit parks; a single exception: you activate the 'Night tours' policy in your park (Park Life DLC). Otherwise, only real badass citizens will go out and party at night (in leisure buildings, if there are any).
  • Some citizens will take night shopping tours though. But not the children or the seniors - they sleep at night.

More real
  • Citizens might go shopping even when they don't need any goods - just for fun!
  • Tourists are not so dumb as usual and also prefer to sleep at night.
  • The buildings will be constructed slowly! And there are restrictions how many construction sites are allowed at the same time in the city.
  • The building construction sites pause at night. The workers there need to sleep too!
  • Citizens switch the lights off when they are going to sleep! And many parks too.
  • When the weather becomes bad, citizens try to shelter from the weather in the buildings.
  • Citizens remember how long they need to get to work and use this in their schedules - they try to be on-time.
  • When waiting for public transport for too long or stuck in a traffic jam, citizens get angry and cancel their journeys.

Important note
Real Time works best with medium-sized cities (population up to 65.500). With large cities, there are some game limitations that make it difficult for Real Time to keep the citizens behavior realistic. Furthermore, the CPU usage and the graphic adapter load might increase drastically. You can still use Real Time with large cities if you don't mind those inconveniences.

There is a planned feature[github.com] how to solve those limitations.

@algernon @dymanoid Are you planning to update new features? For example Childcare buildings, Eldercare buildings. These vanilla buildings should be closed at night. Now that the DLC hotel has been updated, I think it is advisable to update the overnight stay feature for tourists at the hotel buildings of this DLC. Hope the mod develops more.

Anyone else having problems with their Hotels from Hotels & Retreats pack not getting any visitors, I see the costs are per week, so do you have to wait a full week before you see any changes in the 'Manage Hotels' report?

There seems to be an error. When this mode is applied, citizen does not enter the residential building(It is not RICO residential building) properly.
