Rotational Advice Please!!

I've started playing with a different sort of rotational play. I always felt personally that my regular rotational neighborhoods ended up getting way overpopulated with a ton of different families to a point where I eventually would just abandon that hood and start fresh. I've always played 3 days per lot in my rotational hoods and if I have a college hood I play the households there for a full year (two semesters), because it matches up with the teenage life span if I send them to college 12 days away from adulthood.

Currently I do rotational play a bit differently to keep it exciting, so every time a rotational cycle is done I pick one or multiple sims depending on the total sims in the hood to die. This functions as a sort of population control for me and also brings in the excitement of possible random deaths back for me, because currently I get early deaths very rarely nowadays. So at the end of a cycle a sim gets axed if they get chosen by Wheel Decide no matter the plans I had for said sim.
