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

Ok so deliberately leaving them to their own devices is pretty annoying when 2 members of the household are children and everyone has other places to be. It feels somewhat miraculous that the toddler survived to reach the child stage! I think it would be a lot more fun to do this with a group of romantically inclined single sims who have pots of money and don't need to go to work, or perhaps in a prison setting with 1 warden and a group of prisoners.

Hey, thanks for making me laugh. The prison idea really cracked me up.

I guess the last one standing could be in charge of the prison. :o

I've tried prison themes in the past but I get bored of my saves quickly so it doesn't last too long. Now I've thought about doing it in this particular context I definitely will try again though. I play families most of the time so it does me good to switch it up now and then. Having said that, I've been playing the game a lot since I reinstalled in September after months away, and there are other games I want to play as well so I'll probably mix it up for a while rather than playing obsessively for hours.

On a side note I started wondering what it would be like if some of the prisoners were occults - it would be interesting to see how they interacted with the humans within the close confines of the prison environment.

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.

You guys aren't going to believe this, but now Katrina is dead--Nina is the only one that's left. Maybe it seems hard to believe, but since I started this experiment less than 2 hours ago, all I've done is check on them to see how they're doing. It looks like the pool got Katrina too.

Given the hard-knock life you set up for the Caliente girls, perhaps they tried to escape the simulation while you weren't watching. :D

Ya, those spoiled Caliente women. LOL

I don't run all night on the sims, not for this game, but could better if you development your sims with all bunch of traits reward, then good chance they would be fine and not even lost job, if you got most of all reward store traits, that is, but sims with no traits/no development would likely in bad ending while sims with very development/vampire would had good ending if left all night, (depend on if aging off or on (if age is on, then vampire are kind of best path to left alone, after you done development right perk in vampire tree)

Very rare I left game run all night, but this game Sims 4 isn't design for running night, but on other hand, if we talk about X4 Foundations or X3 Terran Conflict or X3 Albion Prelude, then that game is make sense to run all night to make you credit to buy spaceship or spacestation, but this game sims 4, it's don't make sense to run all night, but I guess it's would be funny to see what would happen for one time, but everyday? No.

What you've seen is just the tip of the iceburg--due to mods that I'm not allowed to mention, they have it a lot harder than people realize :wink:

"I wouldn't dare. The sims wreck too much havoc even with me there to attempt to keep an eye on them.

My Sims spend not very much time in their homes, so just letting them roam around on their lot unsuperviced is something I see as pointless.

I left my sims family, mom, dad and child alone for two hours while I fixed supper...and ate. I did not realize my sims were not paused. All the sims survived nicely, they were in the living room watching a movie when I came back. I was stunned! The only thing was bad was the wastebaskets were overflowing and roaches were everywhere. Glad you didn't die, could you have at least taken out the trash? :D
