An odd question I know, and I am most likely in the minority with this, but I play windowed mode only and can't stand full screen, especially not in The Sims. I usually have the game open along with chrome so I can go to youtube during a loading screen. Or when things are getting a bit boring I can just leave the game running in the background while doing something else on the web. Windowed is also much more comfortable for me because I can still see the task menu and can watch what time it is etc.
I actually think my hatred towards full screen started when I played TS3 because the game would crash on occasion to the point that I often had to restart the computer completely, while in windowed mode I can just close it with the task manager (back then, I didn't know the key combination to open it
). Also, the world loading screens in TS3 were quiet long so I put the game into windowed mode so it could load in the background (it always seemed to me like it took longer when loading in full screen while I minimized it).

That started in my WoW days when I would need to look up a quest or item while playing.
Now Im usually doing something else while monkeying around in CAS.
It depends on if I am jumping back and forth between the internet and different programs, or if I want total immersion and no distractions.
I keep track on misc info and history for my sims. Each sim has one line, and sims are grouped under what lot they live on. Lots grouped under hoods, hoods under worlds. I keep track on the extra DNA I give them, traits/asp, skills on bday, school grade (which the game really should save) careers etc. It helps me when creating a new sim also to set a few previous merits. Oh, and I also add their preference for color/style and some details about their economy.

I do the same. Microsoft Excel.
I aged all my CAS young adults down to toddlers and gave them parents.
I didn't want all their birthdays on the same day as I played them in rotation.
Meadow is the lead sim, so this chart shows me what ages everyone should be compared to wherever Meadow is on the chart.
That is some awesome work there!
I don't know if there's an option somewhere to change this, but in my game, as soon as I hit the windows key in full screen mode the game pauses, and that's what I want to prevent because I go out of the game for it to keep running when I'm bored
I like to build stuff
