In addition to this, a major downside about having long days means that your Sims are lalalalatered by 7pm! I kept my Sims up until 10pm because 7pm just seemed far too early, and they got negative moodlets due to being tired! All they'd done that day was sit on the sofa talking, watching TV or cooking.
Furthermore, the fastest speed setting seems incredibly slow - as do the others. I was sitting there while my Sims slept at night not knowing what to do! It took ages to reach 6am again - so long that I managed to leave it on Speed 3, go downstairs to get a drink and a snack, and return before it was even 4am. If I had done that with either of the previous games, my Sims would have died by then!

i tell my sims to do something and they just stand there for full sim-hours, starving or on the brink of peeing themselves! and what is the point in having different speed settings if there's no difference between them? apart from that i have no complaints, i just wish something could be done, but my laptop is already specced out to da max!
