I play rotationally and play with aging off ( I tend to get very attached to my sim’s ) in my main save and my scenario save, and on Long lifespan. Some of my sims have aged a bit because of glitches after patches, but never actually aged up. I have only had a few sims born in game, and aged one up to infant ( infants are so cute ( at least if you have growing together ). My families were all created differently, so I do have babies through elders in my game. Some households are friends, some are nuclear households, some are generational families. And I have some couples households, and single households too. a few households have pets. The households are all very different, so I rarely get bored of my save. I have a couple of families with teens who are young adults ( but I view adults as staring around their 40’s to well into their 60’s ). I too think it would be nice to have another age between adult and elder. Since 2014 I have only aged 1 baby to infant…. lol. I don’t want to miss out on any life stages from how my families were originally created. Many people are wanting pre teens, I don’t know if they will come about. I may age some of my children if they do bring out preteens, and I plan to age my other 2 babies to infants soon. And, 1 or 2 newly formed families will have a baby sometime after getting married. I change my sims hairstyles and clothing every so often as well as furniture sometimes. Most of my sims I don’t cheat with, so many are self made sims, and have moved over time. The Goths have gone from Willow Creek to Forgotten Hollow, and will now be moving to Ravenwood ( same house, but the lot increased when they moved to forgotten Hollow and they have a pool ). I have another couple that will be moving from a city living apartment to a new home in ciudad Enamorsda ( that will make a third move for them as well )., infact many of my 150 + sims in my main save have changed their looks somewhat over time, and live in fancier homes or apartments as they advance in their careers. I have had 1 death in my main save. My criminal sim needed to finish his aspiration so he fought with an elder townie until he passed. He still has his urn.
I have different households, too, so I can play around with all the gameplay mechanics, try new careers and new traits, and at least one of the kids born into one of those households will age up all to elder and die of old age simply because I want to see how that turns out. It's very likely going to be the Ravenwood household because I created that specifically to test the gameplay that came with Life & Death.
