Do you play with aging on or off?
I keep mines on but there are certain sims I play in my generation that I will use MCCC to make them immortal. Only thing is they watch their loved ones die..also kind of sad all the original townies ...

I misclicked, should have been other. :|
I played on the Epic lifespan when I played Sims 3. When I started playing Sims 4 and building up my households, I played on Long and got a notice that one of my sims in another household was going to die of old age soon. I really liked that sim but hadn't gotten to do enough with them and I got MCCC. So I started to play a custom lifespan that was pretty long. And then Seasons came out with custom holidays and all, so now lifespan is so long, aging might as well be off. While I'd like to have some progression, I also don't want to miss out on too much while I go through my rotation of households and neighborhoods.
2912 days from birth to death, excluding long lived and active traits. With 28 day seasons, a seasonal year is equivalent to 3 actual years.
Baby (1-2): 75 days
Toddler (2-6): 149 days
Child (6-12): 224 days
Teen (12-18): 224 days
Young Adult (18-39): 784 days
Adult (39-60): 784 days
Elder (60-78): 672 days
Active gives an extra 291 days (85), long-lived gives 728 (97) and both is 1528 days (105).
Cats can live to be 18-25 (672-933), dogs can live to be 15-20 (260-746). I'd really like it if I could find a mod for the small pets lifespans but it's niche-niche. :\
If I only played one family, I'd probably go with 7 day seasons or a 728 day lifespan. I do really like the proportions though, since it gives more time to spend with grandparents and grandkids later on without having to rush into the next generation so fast.
