Villager CYCLING question

[adorablughhh]

we are supposed to time travel 2 days forward and 2 day back... right?
But can we do the next time travel to the same date?

^example: 1st day: 14jul +2days = 16jul,, -2days= 14jul
2nd day: from 14jul +2days to 16jul.
^^^ will this work?

because something is not going right, even travelling to different dates...?

i have never cycled like that so i dont know, when i cycle villagers i skip 5-6 days at a time, talk to all villagers, if no one mentions anyone moving i tt one day forward, talk to them again and so on untill someone is moving

The advantage of this method is that it you can keep your game ultimately to the current date. It's also a little easier for younger players (like my daughter) to just move it between three predefined dates, rather than having to remember...how far am I going forward this time?

To give you an example, the last few cycles in my town have been like this:

May 14 2014 - Pashmina in boxes, Chrissy new
Set game to May 9 2013, save and quit.
Set game to May 9 2014, save and quit.
Set game to May 14 2014, Jitters is in boxes, Bree new (all other villagers the same)
Set game to May 9 2013, save and quit.
Set game to May 9 2014, save and quit.
Set game to May 14, 2014, Bones is in boxes, Katt is new (no other changes to villagers)."

this method is much faster. but if you want to keep some villagers in your town
then i recommend tting 2 days, see if anyones moving, repeat
