Multitasking is not all it's cracked up to be in the Sims 4. There are very few things that they're actually multitasking -- watching TV and running on a treadmill is the only one I can think of, really. Everything else, they're alternating between things. If you try to paint, write, eat, drink while talking, for instance, it will take 3-4x as long as it does when your sim just first eats, then goes and has a conversation. Same with a game of chess -- while your sim can talk, they will either be playing OR talking -- not doing both.
In Sims 3, your sims actually do talk while doing these things, though they're not gaining charisma doing it. Still, they play chess and chat, and the game doesn't stop for the conversation -- same with eating. I think the idea of multitasking in the Sims 4 is good, I don't think it's implemented well at all.
