I like my sims, but I've never really gotten to the super fear of losing them in this iteration like most have. Since I do legacies and stories, it's pretty natural for me to have them eventually die. Thus why I hardly ever have the aging off. For me the beauty of it is their memory and the beautiful life they live. I think that's why I enjoy the "cradle to the grave" experience. Truly giving them a unique experience in their lives and having it come to a close. With the MCCC not all of them live as long as others, which also feels unique to me.
Even during random deaths (like from emotions, fires or pufferfish), I just continue on and allow it. As someone said above though, I do have some sims saved, like my simself. But even she dies whenever the time comes. Ahh the circle of life <3.
