Rotational gameplay is kind of wonky in the Sims 4 and doesn't come as natural in the Sims 2 (due to how the engine was designed.) But to make it work:
You need to think of playing each family in your rotation as playing out the same week in time. You play Family 1 on Week 1 from Sunday to Sunday. Then when you switch to Family 2 you're going back in time to the beginning of the week to play that family from Sunday to Sunday. Only after you've completed that week for every family do you progress to the next week with Family 1.
What this means practically with aging settings.
Auto age (played sims): set to ONLY ACTIVE HOUSEHOLD
Auto age (unplayed sims): set to OFF but switch it ON for only single family in your played families list (usually family 1).
If you always keep unplayed sims aging, then they will age too fast and each time you're playing the same week in time as your played Families. So only keep that last setting to ON with the Family 1 as you play them, and for all the other Families 2, 3 4... you keep that setting OFF.
As OP said they play aging off, I let mine out of it, but yes I loosely will play week rotation too, when I have aging OFF all the time , but last week, with last household I switch it ON (LONG) to all. so , other families ages along.
Currently I have aging turned OFF and I play shorter rotations, as I still am pretty much setting things up and I dont want everyone to be at same age, so I will adjust all ages too before I let aging ON :)
