I play with aging off. My Sims don't die (and if they do by an accident, I load the last save ^^')
Most of my Sims are immortal Supernaturals anyway :3
If just playing then aging off if doing a legacy or another kind of challenge then aging is set to long
I play with aging on as I play generations and can't have them living forever.
I have prolonged a few of my favourite sims with the elixir of youth potion, however.
Plus, I'm not a fan of elders once they stoop. have cracking backs and baggy faces! Unfortunately, something we're all going to face eventually! 😬
I play with aging off. Every sim year on New Years Eve I turn aging ON, and before 1st day of Spring ends, I will turn it back off. This way all my played and non-played sims will age one year per cycle of seasons. This makes New Years Eve special, too. Because the game require a certain and random amount of time played after an elder hits the "get ready to die", I will need to play a couple simdays with aging on (but I always will avoid doing so during midnight) my sims will not die from old age only on 1st day of Spring. But most do...
I agree with aging off, too💔!
I got too sad when I first started playing TS4 when I didn't know how to turn aging off or normal life span. My Sims died every 3 IRL days, so I found out how to turn aging off. Actually, in between I played on long. Now, aging is off.
I always play with aging on with long lifespan
it depends on my gameplay, if i'm doing some challenges i play with aging on (mostly normal lifespan)
if i won't do any challenges especially if my active household is big i turn it off
I usually play with aging on, even though I feel it's sad when my sims die, but then I try to shift my focus on to the new sim that becomes my main one, and discover new things 🙂
@snofnugg That's the best way to play a generational gameplay. To remember past Generations, I do a photo op of that Generation, frame it, and then put it on a wall in a church on a Lot that I designed into a cemetery. This helps me remember past Generations I played that have moved on.
Here's my Generation 1 photo op. It has my Founder, his wife, his stepdaughter (along with her husband and their child), his son, and his two daughters.
Taking pictures is a great way to remember older generations 🙂
