i try to keep my towns on the actually date besides my cycle towns, so july 3rd. although i'm at least a week behind on my second town as i've barely touched that one recently :<
Main town is a few day ahead. I did this so I don't have events during real life events.
Guest town is in September 1 2016. As soon as it gets to the middle or end of September it will jump to April 2, 2017.
Reality Town is December 26th 2015 The town was set ahead of the main town but was frozen for awhile.
Beautiful Town is May 2015. It's been frozen for awhile
