    • Beware of the risks. While time traveling has no permanent effect, as the date and time can be changed later on, it can cause missing features for up to 24 hours. After 24 hours, things will be back to normal, with the new date and time in place.
      • You won't get donations at the fountain the following day.
      • You will be unable to get seasonal clothes and headgear from the Seasonal tab at the shops. [1] You will still be able to get seasonal items from the In Stock tab.

  • Question
    I failed a proposal. Can I use this to redo it?

    Top Answerer
    No, this won't make a difference. If you fail a proposal, you can just wait for it to happen again. Giving travel tickets helps increase two Miis' relationship. Another strategy for redoing a proposal is to quit without saving. If you do this, it is best you save the game just before you plan to propose so you don't lose any progress.
