Was Multitasking worth the loading screens?

I like the multitasking but I'm not a fan of the loading screens, even though they don't take long to load for me (although, it has taken a little longer to load with the more DLC we get). Multitasking has its pros and cons but overall, I enjoy it. I always have my sims eat cereal/yogurt with a glass of water/milk/juice. Takes them a good sim hour to a sim hour and a half. But I get annoyed as ever when I have my sim eating for instance and I want them to start up the washer, well, my sim will get up from the table, pick their plate up, to start up the washer and then they'll stand there eating. My also once took their food with them to the toilet all because I intended for them to eat their food and then use the bathroom! Like, SIT DOWN and STAY down until you finish your food. I get ultra annoyed too when other members of the family are gathered elsewhere but the kitchen/dining area and suddenly my sim(s) that grabbed a dish and suddenly have "my family isn't near me" senses tingling and are all gathering around the same area as well..even if there is nowhere else to sit....but that's another story for another day.

I don't mind the loading screens as much when you're traveling to another lot or world, but it's ridiculous you endure a loading screen while visiting a next door neighbor. Especially when y'all live in the SAME apartment.

The way this is phrased makes it sound like we have loading screens because of multitasking. Was this confirmed?
