Too many sims required for one task

Long time Sims FreePlay player here (15 years). Is it just me or is it a little annoying that you need 22 sims to do one task that lasts for hours? The pregnancy journey needs 15+ sims at a time. Barter Boardwalk needs 22 sims for 9.5 hours just to name two, it’s tedious, inconvenient and boring.
