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

Well, my current household is a family that I played in 2014 and I have tried to recreate that save twice or three times.
I'm still playing with them. I began this latest save in 2019 but I usually play it in January, basically. Only now, the father became an elder and the kids that were born in 2019 are adults. ^^0
I'm feeling sort of moody because I intend to let the father die but, at the same time, I don't want to.
