I see what happened. I was changing the saves around the saved games folder that I put as a shortcut on my desktop instead of looking for the actual standard folder in my computer's search. I'm guessing it wasn't synching or I'm just not supposed change it like that since I continued loading up the same save every time. It was my fault then for me not investigating enough looking into the day/night cycle. I was force changing the time and didn't notice a shift in environmental lighting in some places, so I thought it was broken. Thank you for helping me and I apologize for wasting your time.
