Lets assume you have three tasks queued.
1. If you have selected the fourth arrow:
The fourth arrow completes the current (first) task (at speed 3), then the speed reverts to speed 1 for the second and third task. After the third task it remains at speed 1 if no further tasks are selected. The sim acts independatly.
2. If instead you have selected the third arrow:
The third arrow completes the current (first) task (at speed 3), then the speed remains at speed 3 for the second and third task. After the third task it remains at speed 3 if no further tasks are selected. The sim acts independatly.
So the fourth speed gives you more time to choose another interaction after the current one is completed. as it slows down the sims independant actions.
Example: I have queued up sleeping, bath and prepare meal. I set the speed to 3.
when sleeping and bath is completed I change speed to 4 (same as 3). But when prepare meal is completed the game speed reduces to 1. Allowing me to choose the next activity sooner rather than later (time wise) if I want too.
If I had left it at 3 my sim would have performed more independant actions (like playing guitar) faster, than I may have wanted.
