[QUOTE="Knighttchi's Ballad, post: 3375019, member: 213135"] Maybe it wasn't a "solution" after all due to some new developments which raise even more questions. I've discovered more problems with my Pastel - which is a shame since it really fits with my aesthetics - such as it draining my dollar store batteries in approximately a day when it should last at least a week, and it might have gotten the Peter Pan Glitch since Petunia, my current tama, wasn't having any meters drop at all nor going to the bathroom. I distinctly remember catching her about to go which confirmed she was functioning normally so maybe something has changed. The battery drainage problem was a major disappointment and all the while I was running through scenarios on how to make it work, it occurred to me that the problem isn't fixed if freezing leads to the Peter Pan Glitch. I considered the time ticking down and keeping up faithfully after every unfreeze as a sign that Petunia was continuing to grow up.
