Do you turn on aging?
As someone who always plays with aging off, I'm curious how many simmers play with aging on vs aging off. What would you consider your preferred setting and why? I know there are a lot of options, but...

I'm surprised at the number of people who play with aging off. I thought I was one of few.
@WildIrishBanshee Very true. I do usually age up babies and sometimes toddlers manually, it depends on the family.
@simgirl1010 The few times I have tried playing with aging on I also left NPC aging off. Some sims are too iconic to let age.
@musteni & @elanorbreton I've always wondered how people who play rotationally keep all their sims and the NPCs the same age. I never thought of just enabling it periodically.
@alanmichael1 That must be one interesting grocery store! I don't own paranormal stuff, so I didn't know you could do that. I keep seeing recommendations to get it, it seems to have a lot of interesting gameplay.
@Ninoosim Exactly why I play with aging off. My main save is full of about 200 sims that I have created and turning aging on would be chaos. I have tried aging a few of my teens up and thought "well, maybe I'll send him to university" or "maybe she can start that career" but I always end up either aging them back down or rolling back the save.
@PenguinFoop I've never tried that, but it definitely would be interesting. Mom (Adult age): "Johnny, you've grown up so fast!" Johnny (Elder): "Seems like just yesterday I was as young as you Mom." LOL.
@MrManyIdeas The Sims 4 is my first sims game, I plan to get the Sims 3 one day. May the tradition continue with the Sims 5.
