What play speed do you use most often?
I've been regularly reading the forums now for a few weeks (since I properly got back into TS4), and I'm very curious about what speed you use when play? Since around TS2 I've used a mix of pause (to ...

I play on normal speed mostly, but I do pause a lot to queue up actions for my Sim(s), check the calendar, collections, career/aspiration tasks, etc. The pause button is my best friend. :)
Fast mode while sleeping usually runs just fine with no slow down because I put their cells on silent. If they get any calls, it won't automatically kick it to normal. Still happens with mail delivery or vampire visits though. Sometimes I'll use the fast speed for collecting if there is a lot of ground to cover or when they're doing certain skills.
If my Sims get stuck just standing there, I'll pause a few seconds, pop in and out of the manage screen or build mode and it usually gets them going again. I limit my use of the fastest speed since it's been my experience that's when the bugs like to come and play.
It seems the game has a hard time keeping up when a lot of actions are queued up and speed 3 is chosen, it'll do one or two and then cancel the rest. It's a 'D'oh' smh "Why'd I do that?" moment for me because I know better. Opps! lol
I thought playing on my new gaming desktop would cure most of these speed issues, and for the most part it has improved. But the issues still do occasionally happen. Ah well, it's not game breaking at all for me, I'm still having lots of fun! :)
Happy Simming! <3
