How to play nonstop w/o game pausing itself

I have killed a sim so many times in sims2 because of forgetting game on.

I have done it in 4 too, but not more than couple of times because of those constant popups.

Most likely mods, I would love to know too if it is somewhere in settings.

By pop-ups, I assume you mean the Likes/Dislikes pop-up asking if your sim likes a certain activity or conversation topic?

There is a mod by Lotharihoe called Atuomatic Preferences but it only decides the activities, decor, and clothing styles. I've used it for a while now and I love it. I just wish they would update it for the Conversation Topics and Sim Characteristics as well.

In the first Sims someone built a huge mansion and moved in 8 different sims then left them basically to their own devices. It was actually quite funny in a strange Sim way.

You're welcome. The pop-ups are annoying. I wish it automatically chose them based on your sims' mood at the time, which is what the mod I mentioned above does. I just wish it was an official thing instead of a mod.

I never liked the Opportunities pop-up in TS3 and I usually played with them off. If only TS4 had more toggles.
