Quick question for experienced folks about save files, or towns in general I guess. Is there some way to find out how much time you’ve spent working on a particular town, or with a particular save file? I know Steam keeps track of overall playtime, but I was more curious about each of the towns I work with, specifically.
Welcome to the discourse!
It has a calendar, under the sun(or clock) you can see sometjing like “100 16.depumum” (i don’t recall the actual name)
I don’t know the name for all the months, but that’s a way!
You can also find it in te town menu

Thanks Hyrule! Yeah, I’ve seen that when hovering over the sun/clock, but I guess I was more meaning time in real life, as opposed to Hearthling time 
I probably should have specified that! haha. Thanks for your response though!
This is the timelapse from the .smod files. Maybe that helps you

Of course, that’s only accurate if you’re always on regular speed. I go between highest speed and paused regularly enough that it probably is still a good estimate.
Thanks for that info! I hadn’t even thinking about diving into the game files and math-ing to find this out, haha. But since time played is clearly not present in the save descriptions or where anywhere else in-game, I’m not sure exactly what I was expecting/hoping for
