Description

This mod allows you to easily change the displayed in-game date.

Adds a text field in the city info panel (the green "i" icon) allowing any custom date to be entered between 1/1/0001 and 31/12/9999

Potential uses for this mod:
- More accurately set time periods for historical/future style cities in-game
- Makes it easier to break the date limits of the game

This mod works by changing the game's tick offset value, so no game mechanics are affected. Dates are formatted dd/mm/yyyy like the vanilla game.

Notes:
- The changed date is saved when the save game is saved
- Use >>year to skip to a certain year (eg. >>3000 sets the date to 1/1/3000)

Thanks to boformer for the modding tutorials [community.simtropolis.com] on Simtropolis, and the many mod authors on the workshop that have open-sourced their mods on GitHub.

Also it doesn't revert back to Time and date just keeps the date going day by day.

By bricking the city stats window, I meant that no graphs will show and for some reason the window will be shown behind the game menu. Thankfully you can close the city state window by pressing escape or the X button.

The mod works OK.

However it will brick the city statistics window if you change the date to 01/01/0001 and some in-game time has passed.

The solution to this it seems is to set the date to something that matches how many in game days have already passed. So if 2 months and 4 days have passed in-game that means you have to set the date to 05/03/0001 and that will unbrick the city stats window.

I haven't experienced the issues reported by candycane8852 and Eightball444.
To change the date you have to click on the city info button. From there you can set the date to 01/01/2000 for example.
