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

MIne always pauses at events etc so I have never been able to have them run w/o me? There was a challenge in the Sims that involved a group staying together in one house and leaving it to chance for most of what happens. So long ago and yet I still remember it as being a lot of chaos and fun. I don't think any of the other series allowed that at least without a mod. Would love to try it again with Sims 4.

I think it was @Simmerville that started it but not positive. Was great fun though.
