Slowing down time in-game with MCCC — cool feature or a shortcut to bugs? We break down what’s safe, what’s risky, and how to keep your save file stable.

In The Sims 4, many players use the MC Command Center (MCCC) mod to slow down in-game time. This is done through the Time Speed setting, where the default value is 25 (normal speed). Lower numbers make time go faster, while higher numbers slow it down. Changing this setting stretches the in-game simulation, so the in-game clock ticks more slowly. However, setting the speed too high (e.g. 40–50 or more) can cause a range of issues.
In this article we understand how time slowdown works via MCCC, what it can do to Sims, calendar and save, and how to use it carefully: what values are safe, what bugs can occur, and how to avoid problems when playing a long game at slow speed.
Potential Problems and Side Effects
Calendar Glitches
The official MCCC documentation warns: seasonal holidays from the Seasons expansion do not automatically adjust when time speed is changed. Career timers and similar systems usually work fine, but holidays and festivals stay tied to the original calendar days and may show up at incorrect times. Many players report that with speeds above 32, the game starts acting strangely — holidays and seasons shift randomly. Festivals might begin at 1 AM instead of the intended morning time, holidays pop up mid-week, and seasonal changes no longer happen on Sundays.
Longer Sim Actions
This part causes a lot of confusion, so let’s break it down clearly. The Sims 4 uses a tick system: every X milliseconds, the game updates the state of objects and Sims. Roughly speaking:
• at normal speed (25), 1 in-game minute ≈ 1 real-life second; • at slowed speed (e.g. 50), 1 in-game minute ≈ 2 real-life seconds; • but animations and actions don’t freeze — they still follow the same in-game logic.
Why Do Actions Take Longer?
When you slow down time via MCCC:
• the in-game day becomes longer — it takes more real minutes to complete; • but Sims still decide how long to do things based on in-game minutes (not real seconds). So, if a Sim normally takes 15 in-game minutes to shower, that 15 minutes now takes much longer in real time.

Example of action duration
For example: Your Sim still "sleeps for 6 hours," but you’re watching it happen for twice as long in real time.
Why Can’t We Separate Time and Actions?
MCCC’s creator explains that time speed affects all simulation logic, because it’s tied to the same internal clock: "MC Command Center can’t alter the in-game time without affecting all the simulation logic that uses that same time. So if you slow down time, all interactions, behaviors and triggers will also happen slower." This means: • you can’t slow down just the clock without also slowing down everything else; • there’s no “dual timeline” — it all runs off one global time variable.
What does it affect?
✦ Actions feel sluggish. Sims take longer to eat, bathe, etc. — not because they’re bugged, but because the game thinks the in-game time is passing slower.
✦ Tighter planning. You can still fit everything into your Sims’ day — it just takes more real-world time to do it.
✦ Some animations may freeze or glitch. If an animation already had bugs (e.g. eating, playing instruments, cleaning), slowing time may make the problem more visible.
This Is Not Slow-Mo
Important: this isn’t like “slow-motion mode” in other games. You’re not slowing down the animation speed — just the passage of time. So the animations run at normal frame rate, but they appear stretched because time moves slowly.
Unexpected Bugs &amp; Mod Conflicts
Slowing time can lead to bugs, especially when using other mods that tweak simulation. For example, the mod Simulation Lag Fix warns users not to use it with MCCC time speed changes — bugs may occur until time speed is reset to normal. Community forums are full of warnings like: “Never adjust time speed if you have other simulation mods installed unless you’re sure they’re compatible.”
“Save Fatigue” — What It Means This is an unofficial term, but it describes well what happens to the game when you play at non-standard speeds for a long time. Let's break it down a bit more in detail as well.
What is “fatigue” of a save?
It is an accumulative effect in which a save gradually begins to fail if it functions for too long under non-standard conditions - in our case, slow time through MCCC. Unlike abrupt bugs, fatigue is a creeping, cumulative deterioration in stability. It can manifest itself through: • failures in the logic of events and schedules; • glitchy calendar (holidays repeat or disappear); • missed/unresolved triggers (e.g., the sim doesn't grow up, career stage doesn't occur, etc.); • “slowdown” of some processes - when something should work, but doesn't.
Why Slower Time Affects This?
Because the game depends heavily on in-game time to: • Trigger events • Update career/school goals • Track milestones and Sim states • Manage seasons, holidays, and even time of day At extreme speeds (over 40), this can cause: • Holidays show up on calendar, but don’t trigger • Sims don’t age or progress properly • Job/school notifications don’t arrive or are delayed • Duplicate or missing calendar days • Rare bug: day of the week “sticks” (e.g., Monday repeats)
Why Speed Over 40 Is Risky?
Because: • 40+ means the game is running 1.6x slower than normal • Not just the day, but system checks (like "is it time to age up?") also get delayed • Some game events rely on real-time intervals and may never trigger if time is too slow
The longer you play at high speeds, the more bugs may build up — especially if: • You use lots of holidays, traditions, school events • You’re playing a legacy with many generations • You have mods tracking life stages, timers, or simulation events
Safe Usage Tips
Set the Speed Before Starting a New Save
If you plan to use a slower speed, change it before creating the save. You can tweak the setting in another save and then use the same mc_settings.cfg file when starting a new game. This approach avoids many issues because the simulation is built with the new time from the start.
Optional: speeding up autonomy when slowing down
<a href="https://simsasylum.com/tfm/index.php?/topic/14126-quicker-sim-autonomy-simulation-lag-improvements-march-2023-196-update/" target="_blank"><ins>The Quicker Autonomy &amp; Simulation Lag Improvements mod</ins></a> from coolspear (registration required) will help in this case. It speeds up the reaction of sims and reduces delays between actions, without breaking the overall logic of the game. Especially useful in combination with MCCC if you slow down time, but don't want your sims to turn into lazy snails. Just read the author's post very carefully and pick the right one.
Don’t Go Over 30–35
Most experienced players recommend keeping it below 35. Speeds like 30 still offer noticeable slow-down without major bugs. Speeds of 40+ greatly stretch the simulation and often cause the issues mentioned above.
Avoid Frequent Speed Changes
Switching time speed too often (e.g., constantly toggling back and forth) can desync the game. Even reverting back to default might not fix everything. Try to only change the time speed once per save, if possible.
Check the Calendar After Changes
After changing the time speed, open the calendar and make sure all holidays and festivals still appear correctly. If not, delete broken ones and re-add them manually. MCCC’s official advice is to do exactly this. Players also recommend temporarily tweaking game settings (like season length or Sim lifespan), saving, then reverting — this can sometimes "reset" the calendar logic.
Avoid Conflicting Mods
If you use mods that heavily modify simulation, make sure they’re compatible. Mods like Simulation Lag Fix may not work properly until you restore time speed to default.
Back Up Your Saves
Before changing time speed, save a backup of your current save file. This lets you roll back in case anything breaks. In general, starting a new save with the new speed is safer than changing time in an existing one.
Summary: Slowing time to around 30 is usually safe and gives you longer days in-game — if set up properly. But going too slow or changing speed too often can cause calendar bugs, broken events, and system instability. Follow the tips above, check your calendar after changes, and be mindful of mod compatibility — and you'll enjoy smoother, longer gameplay for your Sims dynasty. ♡
