No, not really. In the past 3 games, I would -- ACGC was when I time traveled the most (jumps by months, etc.). But in WW and CF, I usually only time traveled to unlock shop/house upgrades, then went back to current date.
In NL, I have not time traveled at all, and will probably never do so. I realized the games get boring if you TT. Seems too easy.
I used to time travel all the time in Population Growing because most of the time no one would move out. However in New Leaf Im abit more cautious about tting because I dont want to lose a dream villager so I usually only go forward one day at a time.
I time travel. Usually, it's when I'm playing too late or too early for shops to be open and villagers to be awake. Sometimes I'll also time travel for specific purposes (like keeping villagers from moving if I was away from the game for a while) but I don't time travel a lot every day. I like to keep it more natural so I feel like I'm playing the game at a slower pace.
I time travel, both for purposes of cycling and for the shops to be open because I have a habit of playing at 4 AM real-life time. If I ever find the money for a second copy though, I plan to avoid TTing because I want to play day-by-day.
I have zero qualms about it. When you run a cycling town, or are trying to TT a specific villager out of a main town to make room for a new one, you get over it pretty quick - not that it was ever a source of guilt to me to begin with. To each their own though.
I have tried to time travel for the first time in New Leaf but i didn't really know what I was doing so I killed all my flowers and decided to not try it ever again haha
Only back and forth a day when I'm starting out so I can get a 100 percent approval rating and unlocking the island and QR machine and all that. Occasionally I do it because I'm bored though.
