Is there a way to change the settings so that I can sim multiple weeks at a time, without it stopping each time my team has a game? I am assuming there has to be and I am just missing a setting somewhere, but no luck so far.

Go to the very top left, click on the three horizontal lines. Go to game options, click on Default to Simulating Human Games, uncheck Stop Sim on Action Email. Then when your next game comes up click on Sim Day. A drop down will drop down. You can sim to a future date there.
