Poss. Bugs on console??

[Treeguy1857]

Anybody else having trouble with skipping night to day in the seasons mod on console?? It's not allowing to to do it anymore. Also, I set up several large floodlights around my barns and when it becomes night, they do not turn on anymore. Any solutions to this problem? Or simple fixes?

I know you can’t be in a vehicle when you try to skip through the night it won’t show in the options till you are out on foot but the lights I’m unsure of

The floodlights generator may need turned on again especially if you have driven a distance away from them.

I just manually put it on 120x to skip the night and stop it when I want to start working. Seemed to me thats all the skip night function did anyway as it takes a bit of time and I don't like that the game freezes like its crashed.

With the lights - do they come on eventually? Just wondering if the seasons code doesn't trigger them with how it changes the length of day & night over the seasons and the lights just come on at 9pm or whatever was scripted in the base game?

Lights: In seasons, its based on "dark". Not a specific time. It varies over the year.

I've never had any problems with the skipping. It does seem like it "hangs" for a couple seconds but that's to synchronize the environmental changes. It's still way faster than 120x. I haven't used the lights though.

A couple of times I got this. I can't say for sure but "I think" if you go deep into night, skip night function deactivates. Try skipping at an earlier stage at night. Skip nigth should be activated whenever the lights turn on in the evening.

The skip night function disappears at midnight, as far as the lights go I was wondering the same thing as I have seen them come on at completely different times

[Treeguy1857]

Thanks for the responses. I tried skipping night around 1100 pm and around 1 am so if the night skip function disappears around midnight then it makes sense. With the lights, it was 2 am with zero lights on. Ha. It was dark outside and these lights do not have a generator on them. They are the simple flood lights on a metal pole and that's it.

I love the skip night function, the only problem I have had with it is, like other have said, its almost like it freezes the game

As far as I know skip night only works after 8pm.

[Farmer216]

I think it is variable with seasons.
The option expires at midnight.

The skip night function does vary with seasons. I've noticed that in winter I can use it around 1800, but in the summer I have to wait until roughly 2100 for it to be available.

It becomes available at sunset. No specific time as each geo is different. Wales geo for example sunset in winter is typically between 4pm and 6pm. The Paraguay geo winter sunset is 8pm.
check here for the average times for each geo.

[Treeguy1857]

You guys are correct. I tried it at sunset the next night and i was able to skip to morning. Just don't wait to long after sunset or you are stuck playing till morning. Thanks everyone!
