How is the Meets different from the M!x in terms of care?

How long are the life stages? Is it true that the set time trick doesn't work anymore? Is there a tama daycare like in the M!x? Is there anything else I should know?

All of the life stages felt like normal to me.  I just started mine up a few days ago.  I tried the clock pause feature, but once the screen goes black, it takes you back to your tamas room.  The daycare feature is available, but with this version, you actually pay and leave your tama at the hotel in the first location you unlock.
