I've always enjoyed TS2 with no story progression. I like to play a rotation of different families, a week or two with one, then another, then another. Getting the kids to become friends (or enemies), advancing (or stalling) the parents' careers...I love it. But, I acknowledge that it takes a certain kind of personality to enjoy that sort of gameplay, though.
In terms of aging NPC friends with your sims, they did add a feature to age up some friends automatically when your sim ages up. You can also age your NPC friends up by inviting them over and having a birthday party for them. And, of course, there are also cheats and mods that help too. I think The Bat Box mod has an age management feature. It certainly has features that allow you to add skills and (if you have "University") add a college degree to a newly created adult sim's background and clean up old gossip data from your save to prevent save corruption.
