Funny that you say that, because all I saw is 'a girl read, than stopped to drink her milk, than after that she was done with that continue to read her book'. That would be quite the opposite of multitasking, so I'm not sure what vocabulary did the developers checked on because that's for a fact doesn't meet the definition of a fancy word that made a huge advertisement deal for this sequel. It's more like sequential/consecutive tasking than anything.
Don't get me wrong, it's an handy intuitive interaction the way a sim could put her milk on the table and pick it up to consume at any given moment, but I have to put you on hold and rethink what you define an action that would be defined as being executed "at the same time". Would be just equivalent as If a sim we're to stand up, leave the book on the table, take a sip, than sit back down to continue narrating the other chapter/page of the book. 'My sim just drank and read at the same time'.
