So I had to keep messing with it but I finally got to work.... Like half the time. Hopefully you guys can figure out what I'm doing wrong.
1. Sims closed out (hitting the red minus)
Have "set date automatically" on
Wifi on
Airplane mode off
2. Re-open sims
3. Close out sims
4. MANUALLY SHUT OFF WIFI FIRST
5. Turn on airplane mode
6. Turn "set date..." to off and change the month to April
7. Re-open sims
8. Keeping sims open turn on wifi
8. Re-open sims and it should work
