I age all of my sims and eventually I do allow them to become elders but I do it verrrrrrrry slowly. I have the game set to long life span and only turn on aging for about a week each season, I play with my seasons set to 4 weeks each. Sometimes I will go several seasons without turning on aging. I only turn on neighborhood stories when I have aging on. This allows the world to progress and age, it allows me plenty of time with my sims before the age up and die, and I'm still able to move through generations.
Oh, I really like that idea. Talk about maximizing your time with your Sims! I think the next time I start a new game I'll do the same thing. That is inspiring!
