I don't do this with the Sims 4, but in the Sims 3 I made a new save every new generation. Usually, when the kids turned into young adults and got out of my house, I would just select the "New Save" option and name it something like "Generation 4" or whatever. I would also edit the newly made young adults and save them to my library. I still have TS3 folders named after each generation filled with just past sims.
I made stories and took pictures on TS3, mostly. And sometimes I would look back on past photos and get nostalgic, so I'd go back to that specific generation. Other times I would see a "scene" that I could have done better and I would pull those sims out of my library literally just to retake photos, then I'd delete them until I needed them again.
Creating a new save each generation (and taking the save out of your EA folder and putting it somewhere in your documents so the game isn't clogged with saves) is a good idea if you're the nostalgic type.
