Have you ever left your sims run all night while you slept?

I've wanted to try thi,s leaving my sims running their own lives for a few hours or all night but figured the second I turned my back a pop up would pause my game for me, which is what usually happens if I walk away with the game running. lol

I'd love to hear more of your adventures and misadventures, @Nate_Whiplash1 and @Mariefoxprice83.
