Aging
do you play with aging off? Also if no what life span?

I'm solidly in the "Other" category. I switch between mostly only aging the household I am playing and turning it off. I am ultimately aging the whole save but I edited a bunch of townies and then have kept aging off for most of them to create a sense of everyone in the rotation aging together.
By that I mean, when I'm playing one household, I just ignore the other households. I'm just in the perspective of that house and the others are all at the same place in time as the household that I'm playing. The townies are all aging roughly along with them.
As a result, when the households in my rotation start flipping over to a new generation which will be soon, I'll turn aging back on for the townies and let them age along. The same background people won't be around forever but with numerous households, they've been around a while.
If they don't manage to marry into my rotation then I'm happy to assume that they are all just going about their lives themselves. Meh, I'm fine with the idea that time works a little differently in the sims' world. Each household I'm playing is just showing me what is going on in that house at a given moment time. When I change to another, I'm roughly seeing the same moment again. I don't worry about the fact that seasons shift, I just try to make sure that I mix up the time of year when different households are played.
