For those that play on Epic lifespan?

I've always been curious about this, for those that play on epic lifespan why do you? Why do you like to play your sims with such a long lifespan?

I've always played with 90 sim days and found it to me just enough time to get the sims established in their careers and fulfill their LTWs. I've also tried to play with short lifespan and medium lifespan and have found both to be very short and not very much time to do anything. I've also tried to play with Epic lifespan and I couldn't do it for a very long time. :)

My niece plays epic life span and I asked her and she said it's because she doesn't want her sims to die.
I couldn't play it like that. I play 90 days but I tweak YA and make it to 26 days.

I get seriously attached to my sims (and I'm a guy (I'll have to surrender my man-card to the relevant authorities))

And it gives my sims a lot of time to do things. The Sim Founders (River (nee McIrish) Chikamori) and Haruo Chikamori) are the two sims that I'm attached to the most and thus I enjoy doing a ton of activities with them including sending them to university as older students (who are already with family and children - thanks to an extended household of grandma and grandpa taking care of the kids while Mommy and Daddy are off at university.

...and to the poster who resurrected this thread. Please don't resurrect old threads...it's almost four years old. Understandably, you're new and unable to make new posts...but there are plenty of relatively new threads to post on. Ask a Question/Answer a Question is a good one to comment on.

As others mentioned above, I also get attached to my sims, and don't want them to die.
I want to experience every lifestage to the maximum with them. I am more into depth stories than just getting them achieve goals (I like to enjoy the way). I do have some quick saves but they usually don't last long because it does not keep my interest.
Also in my big ongoing saves, I play rotational - every time with different household, so sometimes it is more focused on career, sometimes it more focused on family, sometimes it's more about romatic interests - every household has it's own story and that's what's keeping me interested for along time until I decide to age up a group of sims.
