Do you enjoy "LONG" lifespan?

I love it. I haven't played much of it, since I only bought it two weeks ago now, I think. Not even a hundred hours yet and the oldest of the next generation is a few day old toddler. But I already love it. My lifespans weren't much shorter in 3. Close to 200. Normal is way too short for me. I like to take my time. Work on their friendships. Hang out with their family. I don't feel the rush to work on their skills. I'm very leisurely at it. One of my founders in 3 is a few days to her total lifespan. She might have maxed a skill or two? Her job is. I usually only manage to max their jobs and maybe two skills. Also gives me plenty of time to take lots of pictures and not feel like I'm constantly pausing things. And I just want to play around with more of the game. I never did much in 3. The open world lagged me and I'd get too anxious about the family left at home. I want to go out town more often in 4. Have dates. Parties.
I've already been surprised at how old they are so far. I keep thinking they have more time left, than I look and it's 20 days less. Doesn't feel long at all.
