I voted for the notices to remain but maybe reduce the time the Sim is sad, if at all, for someone they just met. Nothing bugged me more about TS4 than to meet a Sim and try to find them later, and find out they were culled. So, with death notices (normally just elderly since there is no death in TS4 per se from other stuff) I would be aggravated again, for the Sim my Sim met, to no longer be in game (again) and I wouldn't know why. That was extremely annoying before death notices. And before they stopped the culling of Sims we just met.
