If it wasnt scheduled. Then you had bad luck on that part. But even then, you werent regularly visiting your house anyway. Which is still your mistake. You could have easily scheduled it in such way you would enter your house once a week.

The mails are there for convenience, but mail is unreliable (as you witnessed now). The ingame timer is still the best one to go with. And its your own task to maintain it.

The only case where i would agree would be if you had a car crash and ended up in the hospital for a month in which at least 3 weeks you werent able to talk. You could otherwise have arranged a backup laptop to be able to log in and enter the house (even if the game runs 5fps, thats not relevant at that pint). But its highly unlikely that this happens. You are rarely in a hospital for over a week.
And even in that exception case, you are going to face the same issue as when a band would play a live concert in your country. You will miss out on it and there is no way to recover that.
