Actually, Boo, it did help...that and Heidi's instructions above. I tried both and borrowed bits from each to come up with the solution. The key points across all platforms seem to be removing the auto date updates, going backwards in time far enough, and progressing single days forward back to present. All my previous attempts were missing one or more of those. Especially the auto date updates part...before I did that, the number of dates remaining kept increasing instead of being the same as on the current date. It reminded me a little bit of computer programming. Back in the good old days days of MS-DOS, I used to write my own autoexec.bat and config,sys programming...and those of you who understand that are showing both your age and your nerdiness. 😉 Anyway, I remember this one time my CD-ROM drive on my desktop stopped working and I ended up playing around significantly with my autoexec.bat to try and get it to work again but kept failing miserably. I even consulted a friend who is a brilliant computer programmer and he couldn't figure it out either. After two weeks (can you imagine?), I finally figured it out on my own...I had been missing a single semi-colon in one line of programming. As soon as I added that, the CD-ROM drive worked perfectly again. Believe me when I say this issue with the SSHM game was nowhere near as frustrating. 😝

It's amazing what you can live with...or without. 😉
