I used the "flashlight" beam to find the items and kept storing up the darn lanterns. Sometime this past year I started using them again so I when I saw Night Modes reappearing frequently I attributed it to my use of lanterns. In other words if the game knows I use a particular tool it gives me more reason to use them in hopes I'll buy some?? But if you all are seeing more Night Mode maybe that part of the code did get some rewrite or has a glitch. It sounds as if BBKN doesn't use lanterns much or at all and now she is getting tons of Night Mode. Could be a reverse psychology coding trick??? LOLOL

5sides,

No, I stopped using lanterns a while ago (until I stepped into Candy World Detective level 😭, but that's a different story). I have noticed locations (in addition to the much beloved Perfumery) getting stuck in night modes- I end up having to visit a location up to ten times  during a quest just to get the correct mode; if the quest requests night mode, I am in luck 😎 but most of the time, the preponderance of night modes throw off the frequency of other modes. I oftentimes have to do night modes twice in a row to get the game to give me a different mode.

Sigh
