Ok. Limited amount of families makes sense. In TS2, I created a custom city, put down 6 cheap houses, created 6 families and off we went. I don't know how many families I had for sure when I lost my hard drive years ago. 19 maybe? I like "normal" lifespan so I think that usually takes them to their mid to late 90s. So for me, 5 days rotation was enough to stay in touch with everyone and get them aged together. So when I got to the top of my rotation again, for any kids that were college age, I sent them to school together to rush through it, doing one semester per 5 Sim days. This let the parents age up while the kids were in school and they were usually seniors by the time the kids graduated and became adults.
I played TS2 just like that. I think I started with 5 families, but I ended up with more than 200 and I still rotated through all of them and some Uni rotations thrown in. I did play that neighbourhood for many years, though.
My test is still running. It's not quite working the way I want it to yet. There are still pregnancy announcements and I didn't want my sims to get pregnant through SP, but I am not using the caste system. My two caste system test household hasn't been up to anything that was reported through stories, while I played other families.
Good luck with setting up your rotation. :)
