Time Control Plus

This mod adds a new component to the Time Control HUD located in the upper left-hand corner of the screen showing the current year, day of the year (1-8), world time (WT) and current season as an icon.

NOT SURE HOW TO INSTALL MODS? It's easy, you can check out a walk-through here: Sapiens Mod Installation Guide[wiki.playsapiens.com]

MOD HAS AN UPDATE AND YOU DON'T SEE IT? You need to ensure that you update any existing worlds that have the old mod manually, it doesn't update automatically. In the Saves Screen when you have your world selected, in the Mods tab you will see an "Update" button on any mods that have updates available to be applied.

First a brief explanation of how time progression works in Sapiens. Each game year is divided into 4 seasons, with each season having a duration of 2 game days, meaning a game year is 8 game days. The new control provides the current year, the current day of the year (day 1-8), world time, as well as a graphical representation of the season.

When you begin a game, you will not necessarily start on day 1 as there are many factors that are considered: where on the globe you start, time passed once you have selected your world, time of day at the location you start a new world, and others. The exact spot on the original sundial that a game day changes will be based on the clock marker position when you first started playing a newly generated world. However the day will change at 00:00 UTC on the mod's digital clock, it just won't line up on the sundial to midnight.

More information about time in Sapiens[wiki.playsapiens.com] can be found on the Sapiens Official Wiki[wiki.playsapiens.com].


An Apple Tree is used as the season icon and will change based on the current season. A notification will also be shown on the screen along with a sound, however in the notification the tree is always the summer variety.
- Pink blooms on the apple tree.
- Green leaves.
- Leaves are beginning to yellow.
- No leaves.

The season indicated by the icon is based only on the day of the year it is, so it is a meteorological season determination. The Sapiens game is built on a planet renderer and the climate model is quite sophisticated. Much like real life the plant foliage and ground cover will change gradually as you approach seasonal boundaries - it is not a dramatic landscape change at the precise time the season changes.
