Have you had the sims you've been playing for several years in real time?

Wow, that is so cool for how long simmers play with their sims. My saves don't tend to live that long... even my computers die faster. Also, I usually play on a normal lifespan and let my sims die even if I really like them. Recently I started my first save with aging disabled. Gonna see for how long those sims will last :)
