Default How fast do you play?
Now i dont mean how long is your sims lifespan....
i mean speed 1-2-or 3....

I used to speed through everything in the beginning....set them up with 4-5 things in there cache and hit the fast forward button...

nowadays...i find myself not wanting to miss anything! For example...my sim is pregnant for 3 sim days...which has taken now 4-5 real life hours of game play...

now i do pause alot...i mean something catches my eye and i have to see
what it might be...

with all the new goodies and interactions...i dont wanna miss anything

Speed 1, unless in work or sleeping, then 3. The more family members the more pauses to make sure everyone has something meaningful or fun to do.

The time in The Sims 3 is too slow for me, so I usually always play on speed 3. That is If I don't have a large amount of Sims in my worlds, so the game doesn't lag too bad on those speeds.

1. With work and a 9 yr old I don't get a lot of Sim time so I have to make the most of the time I do get

I play on 1 most the time. I speed 3 through sleep (wish there was a 4 for sleep) and they all "usually" have a morning routine. During sleep I click through each sim and give them their "line up" of actions for morning, then once the first one is up, I hit 2 or 3 (depending on if any are doing something "different"). Any other time, I am on 1 and use pause like CRAZY! I like to always have actions selected for each sim so pause is my friend..

I usually play with the speed set on 2. 1 just seems too slow for me

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
