One thing that's horribly irritating with Sims 3, especially with how slow the high speed is, is that there's no option to have the game run in the background (at least, not that I saw). With other games, I can tab out during the downtime (like the flights in WoW, UGH) and check my email, chat a little bit, etc., and the game would keep doing it's thing, so I'd like to be able to do this with Sims 3 since there is so much downtime, but I haven't found anything. Is there any way to get around this? Or am I stuck having to keep something else to do near the computer?
