THE HORROR: The REAL TS3 Scoop As It Unfolds

Is it just me or is the ultra speed mostly just useless? It always shuts off on me and doesn't tend to go much faster than speed 3 for the brief periods in which it actually stays selected.

It's not faster than 3. It's just temporary speed 3. It only stays active for the current action then reverts to previous speed.
The game explains these things quite clearly.

I wish parts of this were more intuitive: some of the opportunities that come up are a bit of a headscratcher as to how you're supposed to accomplish them. Like taking your boss's dinner date out for for dinner yourself. I missed the deadline simply because I couldn't figure out how it was done.
I love how there are so many multi-tasking things now though. I had one Sim upgrading the TV to be unbreakable while his wife was watching it, holding her toddler.
And dragging the contents of your inventory onto the bookshelf to put them away, or the fridge or bathtub to put those away is made of win also.

Well, apparently one of the klepto sims decided to make his/her way onto the forum to justify kleptomania by saying Jesus allows it as long as it's paid for later. ::)

Yeah, several (including me) have pointed this out. As far as I can tell, regular ultra speed is just a tiny bit faster than normal play, fast speed (whatever the middle speed is called again; I never really use it) doesn't seem to work at all, and ultra plus is supposed to be ultra speed that stops when the action your sim is doing is completed...and big whopping surprise -- it doesn't work most of the time. Sometimes it acts just like ultra (although without the stop), and sometimes it just forces me back over into ultra speed (which can't be intended play, I hope).
New bug? Has anyone been offered one of the skilling challenges? Ethan Bunch wanted to pay me to grill his lazy ass some hot dogs and bring them to him. I did as asked and delivered them to him, but when I got there, it wouldn't allow me to give them to him because I "don't have all of the ingredients (or whatever the hell it said) in my inventory" even though I did as asked. Another shitty bug or just confusing gameplay?

Oh -- I just assumed when EA talked about an ultra speed that was even faster than speed 3, they would, I dunno, include it in the game or something crazy like that...
eta: so is the 4th speed actually faster than speed 3 or just speed three for the duration of queued tasks?
