More precisely, I'd like to be able to allow my sim to pee without getting a message saying that that sim's child or pet is neglected! Or be able to feed a child without getting a "late for work" message. Again, at one time, ALL of these things were manageable... But with more additions to the game and more objectives, it is more difficult. Even for a game, it's not "realistic". I don't want to "cheat" my way to fame fulfillment. I'd like to be able to just play without panicking that 100 other things need to be done really fast. If YOU can do this, good on you. I'm impressed. But again, with this SAME complaint coming up so often AS YOU SAID, seems you're in the minority on this one. ;)
