What Do You Do While Playing?

[Roy]

I often have the TV playing in the back ground, some music and while my sims are studying i will get up and do little things if i know i'll be gone for a longish period then i'll pause and save the game. I do play with the sims volume on but i do alot of things away from the computer so hearing the charm for a skill improved etc is the only reason for the volume. Its not so bad in the sims 3, the sims 1 i couldn't play with the volume it made the game annoying quickly.
