Do you enjoy "LONG" lifespan?
Just asking to the players who have set their sims lifespan to "long" since I have always been playing as "Normal" lifespan for a while and somehow I find the game rushed due to my sims not being able...

Always normal. Since I'm playing a legacy family, I'm eager to get to the next generation.
The toddler normal span is just enough - my toddlers always get to '5' in all their skills just before aging up. After that, there isn't much for them to do. My kids finish three of the four aspirations and max out all of the kid skills within a couple of days of aging up. The teen stage is much too long - there isn't enough for them to do, and once they get to max responsibility and manners and have an 'A' in school, I've been aging them up. That way, I can do some things without worrying about homework and school attendance, like taking vacations. I really wish we had home-schooling in the game - it would allow us to do so much more with our kids and teens.
If I've got a Sim with a particular thing to achieve before aging up, I'll turn aging off. I'm thinking I might do this with my current kid - she's just about to age up, but I've never tried scouting (because homework plus aspiration requirements left no time for anything else).
