Playing Two Households Questions
Okay guys.. I have a question.. I am one of those micromanaging sim mums who will literally pause the game every time I get ready to queue up actions so no time is wasted and my sim never does anythin...

@Beck1590 - I've been playing this way for years (no surprise) with 2-10 households per world that I rotate through on a regular basis. A couple of my preferences are a little different from yours, but although complex the SP caste system is very flexible and can be adapted as @TreyNutz says to suit your needs. For example, I don't want "my" inactives, just the protected ones that I am playing myself, to skill up in my absence and I don't want them aging either unless/until I am playing them actively again. Others have different preferences here. Inactive sims will always be pushed to go to work/school. How well they do there may, of course, be a different story. :)
Don't worry about the moods and moodlets of sims you aren't playing at the moment unless they are on-screen and your actives are trying to interact with them. Their moods will rise and fall, if they have a good home environment they will tend to the high/elated side much of the time because they will be surrounded by mood enhancing objects and sims when they aren't in semi-hibernation, and the game itself will take care of their basic needs until you wish to play them again and rotate back in.
Let us know, here or better at NRaas on our message boards, if you have any questions about the Rotational Play setup. It uses some pretty advanced mod features.
