I started out playing on Epic. I like to have enough time for my sims to suffer through a failed relationship or two before settling down with The One.
The problem with Epic is, I don't like having babies take almost 30 days to age up to Toddler, and then however long it is after that to age up to Child. I aged the little crumb-crunchers up to Child ASAP so as to avoid having to hire a babysitter just to go to work.
But I also don't like aging kids up too quickly, because then you can end up with a Young Adult whose parents are also Young Adults. That just doesn't make sense to me.
I tried playing one family on Normal lifespan, and that wasn't too bad. I didn't feel hurried to age up the kids. But I also started with a happily married couple, which made things a little easier, but also made that game a little less fun for me. I sort of enjoy the melodrama of failed relationships.
I'm currently trying out Long lifespan. I'm hoping that provides a good compromise between wanting my sims to fail their way across the dating scene for a while and not wanting their kids to be neonates for a frickin' month for it.
