What play speed do you use most often?

Erm doesn’t anyone else experience lag and other issues when using utlra speed?

I mostly play in normal speed, I used to use the double speed a lot more but I find I have to keep an eye on my sims to make sure they complete all the tasks I give them, as a) sometimes they skip things in a queue, and b) when they stand there trying to load their next animation or interaction/whatever it is, it takes them the same time irl to load wether at ultra speed or normal. So you kinda “lose time” when playing in ultra too much. I don’t know if that makes sense to anyone lol but essentially, there are too many bugs/issues with the game for me to trust letting it play out in anything other than normal or double speed (obviously unless they are sleeping). Here’s hoping they fix all the bugs one day.

I'll answer this too. I can experience problems but it seems dependent on how long I let it run like that or if it's in an area that is too taxing for my game to keep up that speed. Like I have issues even when the sims are sleeping (or use to) in the city. I think too much was happening for the game to process it at that speed. Usually on the lots I chose to have my sims live on they sleep through the night on ultra speed just fine. Larger lots with a lot of objects or multiple sims in the area also seem to feed into whether I'll have problems. My computer is as old as this current sims game is though and probably needs to be upgraded.
