I have never used the mod.
The original time setting of the game works just fine for the way I play. There's enough time in each day for my Sims are able to accomplish all of the things they need to do. Plus, spend time with family, build (and maintain) outside relationships, have time for self, excel at work and, handle the 'outside' jobs I have them do such as creating and taking food to 'designated drop-off' points so my townies don't starve; among other things.
This may also be because I plan their days by focusing on maybe accomplishing a few goals each day (except free day, that's when I let them run 100% autonomously). I also do a lot of 'set-up' work such as preparing the meals for the week in advance on the weekends, as-well-as having certain chores scheduled for certain days (or certain 'off' days for my employed Sims).
