I can't imagine only doing 6 sim hours - she wouldn't have found a perfect match, he wouldn't have gotten a job and a bunch of promotions, the baby wouldn't be born (I almost never stop the game for anything in between the lullabye and the birth), the toddler wouldn't have learned to talk - I just can't leave them *now* ;)
I am the exact same way...only worse..there are many times when I won't quit a household between lullabye and transition into childhood.
Must...see...what...child...will...look like! hehe
I play a lot of my games in fast forward mode as well...I dunno how many other people do that.
I know when my fiance occassionaly tinkers with TS2 he plays in normal speed and I'll walk by and be like "You can speed that up you know" and he'll see no reason to and likes to see the little interactions..while I'm zooming through life spans.

Ditto that. My husband also plays in normal speed whilst I'm going at fast or ultra. I always start out with the intention of going slow, enjoying the little details of a sim's life, but it's usually when they're skilling for a promotion that the fast playing starts. Then I'm zipping through pregnancies, dates, university, until the game is almost always on ultra speed. And that's when I stop playing because it's so boring. The objective has become "get as rich and skilled as possible, as soon as possible" and that's not fun for me. I sabatoge my own enjoyment. :-\

I'm finding myself not speeding up the game as much now as I did with the console Sims and TS1. I hardly ever played in regular mode, then. For some reason, except for the times mentioned before like skilling and sometimes during pregnancies, I'll keep the game at normal speed. And it's hard to spot bizarre little things worth taking pictures of in fast mode.
dmChess, that picture is so funny! I have one like that with the toddler playing with the rabbit head, and the toddler has the equation bubble and all the adults joining him around him are talking about factories and stuff. Worst baby toy ever! What ever happened to "The cow says mooooooooooo"? lol

Yeah, in the original Sims I almost always played at speed 2, but in TS2 I'm at normal speed except when absolutely everyone on the lot is either skilling, meditating, or asleep. Ultra makes me nervous even when everyone's asleep (heck, someone's off-lot lover might get up and do something funny on the way out and I'd miss taking a picture of it!). So I'm the same that way.

*8) I keep forgetting I want to try having grownups join when kids are playing with kid toys (although I understand that it can be fatal for non-controllable adults!). The toddler toys definitely seem to lead to unexpectedly intellectual conversations.
On the other hand the only children's book anyone in my neighborhood seems to have is the one about the teddy bear.
Gina to Gabriel: "And then the Teddy Bear said..."
Georgia to Jen: "And then the Teddy Bear said...";
Jan (background, thinking): "Not the #$*^@ Teddy Bear story again!"
They need to get "Wind in the Willows" or something else with some real content...
(And on the "how many Sims are you playing?" question, I've now moved in Kennedy Cox and he's on his way to Chief of Staff (if his LTW was in the Medical career, what was he doing as a Business Tycoon anyway; these Sims don't know their own minds!), and Gina's had her baby, and Kaylynn Langerak's pregnant again. And since I still can't bring myself to let anyone die there's going to be a serious overpopulation problem with time! I'll have to build a big Retirement Home or something...)

My sims seem to love hearing potty stories.
