The economic-time bedrock of the Realistic Farming mod ecosystem. Time Guard is mod 5 in the load order. The economy mods each used to hand-roll their own day and month detector off the frame loop, only one respected the days-per-month setting, and their timing did not agree.
Time Guard gives them one shared in-game calendar clock: it fires on the game’s own day, month and year changes, normalizes the days-per-month setting in one place so a game month and a game year always carry the same economic weight on any save, and tells each companion mod exactly when to settle its money, once, at the right moment, even across a save and reload.
It never moves money itself. It only schedules the cadence and hands each mod its own turn to pay or charge, server-side and once. There are no settings of its own to worry about. Install it, keep it loaded, and let the companion mods use it.
