I didn't know they nerfed this. This will be yet again another reason I will probably never return to updating this game.
Let's look at it from my angle. All they had to do was nerf multitasking. AKA musical chairs and multitasking stopping chewing to look at something on the wall.
I pay strict attention to animations, and the two main problems for those who felt it took too long was because of those two things. Whether it was with a single Sim at a table and or a household at the table. The two main things were playing musical chairs and stopping to look at something. Here is the thing, people don't stop chewing while they look up at pots hanging from the ceiling. But TS4 Sims do..therefore it added to the time to finish. I have no idea why they continue to build a simulation if players just want to click and be done and move on so they can get to something else like gaining a skill and or leveling up. This game has been nerfed so badly in so many of the areas that reflect life that it can hardly be called a life simulator if a player can just click on something and move on. What is the point of set table now? Nothing.
