Have you ever just let your Sims take care of themselves?

I don't mean like, sit back and watch what they do. I mean, leave the program running and then go off and do something else.
Obviously, you couldn't accomplish much because of those chance cards. But I think it might be kind of fun/interesting to try.

I came back and it was the next sim day, noone had died, but everyone in the household had red bars for almost everything! (Bladder, hygiene, etc)
I'm pretty sure I exited without saving, no problem haha
Sometimes i leave for 15-20mins sometimes i leave and don't come back in hours. Every time my sims have been able to take care of themselves and are happy to see me. Well, that is what "pretend" anyway.
They usually manage, although not without letting their motives get critical.
My Sim was coming back from a community lot and I wanted to check on a reply. I had forgotten she was in a new, empty lot so when I got back she was just standing there - stinky, had to pee, starving, ready to passout, and bored, yet she never lost that dang empty, freaky smile. *sigh*
Annette Thayer butts heads with the late Eric Lewis on her first day as steward.
I did this in the Sims 2 all the time. Once I made a household with the sole purpose of seeing who would be alive when I woke up in the morning.

And even if I didn't pause before walking away and my sim was doing their own thing, I'll exit without saving and play from where I last saved.
Yes same here. I would like to see a sim's reaction to dirty dishes apply to a broken sink or radio.
My sims have a penchant for napping when they're exhausted even though sleeping is more beneficial. In addition, if there is a computer on the lot, they will sacrifice their own needs just to play on it for hours on end (it's irritating and there don't seem to be any updated mods that will suppress their urge to use the PC). I feel like they'd very quickly enter needs failure if I left them to their own devices.
Once I left some new sims I had just started out running for a number of hours. They were living in a tent with a grill /cooler maybe guitar or radio ect.. and a small bathroom farther away on the lot. Much of the lot was blackened and some small fires were burning on the lawn. I think one died of fire and came back as a ghost and set more.. Otherwise I have no idea how the black marks were all over the place on the lot. The other sim was near death as nearly everything was burnt or broken. I wish I had seen it happen..
This. I don't think I could ever leave my Sims to do their own thing...I'm too afraid of what they would do without me
Very true! Sometimes I'll focus on a single Sim to build a skill or get into a romantic relationship, and when I'm done, the other Sims will have at least two needs in the yellow and maybe one in the red, one will be missing work, a sink will be broken, etc.
I remember in the original game, you might leave your computer for half an hour, and you could come back and your Sim will have died in a fire. Ahh, those were the days...NOT.
Luckily no one died, but their needs were terrible, so I had to cheat a little :p
I think i'll make a new sim and put her in a new save though , I dont want anything to mess with my current family
