are the visitor hours counted by Sim Hours or RL Hours?

They have always been counted by REAL LIFE hours. Gamer Anon has done alot of research and come up with the formula that most closely predicts what it's going to be up to 4 days out since it is a 4 day average, but I've got a migraine brewing and can't think. It is based on real life hours though, not sim hours, so that might be where you are thinking you have more visitor hours than you really do. The best thing you can do is get 3 friends with paid accounts (since free accounts dont' count toward VH anymore) to come hang out on your lot and do whatever it is you do on the lot (depending on the category). That will get you to show up on the map filter, which is what will draw more people into your property. Skills lots are especially difficult to get started right now, because most of them are 'all skills' now instead of being specialized like they used to be in the production cities, so with 35 sim capacity, even with the population we have now houses outside the top 10 usually dont' get alot of visitors, cuz there's no need.....houses in the top 10 meet every sim's needs, and they can switch from one skill to the other without having to switch lots. If I had my druthers the top 100 list for skills would be broken down into logic, mech, charisma, body, creativity, and cooking lots and no house would be able to do more than one, MAYBE 2 skills. That would spread the visitors out to other houses without even having to lower the capacity back down to 35. If 35 people wanna study cooking, great.....when one wants to go study another skill, they spread VH to another house. I think this would help *spread the wealth* so to speak when it came to VH.
