I have troubles of playing with several households rotationally in the same save because of the gardening. Almost all my Sims have gardens and Seasons made it difficult because if I have several households to play and I make the current family that I play plant seasonal crops, for example spring crops, and then I play the other households it will be completely another season when I come back to play that household. I will often end up with crops not growing and there is not much progress. The crops are going to be dormant and I have to plant new seasonal crops and then they don't have time to progress either. It's impossible to make a living with gardening.
Gardening is one of my favorite things to do in Sims 4, so it's a huge annoyance. It's one of the reasons I'm not the biggest fan of Seasons. I have few saves in which I do play rotationally but mostly I have just one played household per save and I rotate between them, it saves me from losing my nerves.
There are also other annoyances for playing rotationally in the same save. If I want to keep the age of my Sims and their friends in sync I have to keep aging off and do it manually because the Sims that I don't currently play will age too fast. I hate it because I want to play, not fiddle with every Sims birthdays. I know I can have only active household age but then I have to always play every household the same amount of time and I don't like it, too much stress and "rules".
Also what to do with unplayed households then? My households can have mutual premade or randomly generated Sims as friends and if I keep the aging off or on with them they will either age up too fast or don't age up at all. :/
It's too much of a hassle and stress for me, so I only keep these kind of saves very limited and usually only play with families that have children who have moved out (only 2-3 different households per save) and I keep the aging on long lifespan for all Sims. I only play with Maxis Sims in the same save with a lot of Sims rotationally because none of them are actually my Sims and the gameplay is more chaos like anyway.
