{Time Traveling//time traveling broke my friends town }

it's possible that the game was messy to begin with and time travelling being a part of it was just a coincidence or it was setting up the game for failure, not really being the exact cause which is why you didn't have any answers
or it's an incredibly rare bug that very few have experienced
you shouldn't be afraid of time travelling because of that, i've done experiments on TTing and everything that i've done is fixable (the worst thing that came across of time travelling was travelling 50 years ahead and getting a worst town rating)
most people are afraid of TTing because of losing villagers. i'm cautious when i time travel, but sometimes i take risks when i'm lazy. there aren't much penalties if you have a beautiful town ordinance.

I rarely time travel but am not dead set against it. I play the game naturally except when I need to speed up a villager moving out or when I want to take out PWPs. Other than that, I play 100% naturally, even if I miss an important event I will not go back for it as it ruins the fun for me.

In Astoria I TT when I need to get things done that would otherwise take forever. I can wait for PWPs and stuff, but if I wanna finish off a house or something I will TT until it is done. For me I like to think I am very careful: I TT only 2 days at a time and always check on all my villagers until I get the move out ping, if I don't get the ping I move up/back another 2 days. I try to stay within the same week and I always go back to the proper day/time at the end. Nothing has happened yet~! My game and villagers are still there. ^^

I used to time travel loads until my game corrupted last year, I am now really scared to so stick to time travelling same day to maybe 9pm if I need a bug or fish ect as I go to bed at 9pm.

I usually just time travel if I get desperate. Honestly I was kind of hoping my game wouldn't boot up one day though, because then I won't get a huge wave of guilt when I re-create my town, because I won't have control over it.

Seriously strange though, never seen anything go wrong with time travelling and I don't see how it would work.

Oops accidental double post

I've never heard of this happening tbh. Kinda scary but I only time travel on my second copy of the game so I can cycle. If I time travel in my main town it's only by a couple of days to move a villager out
