How Do You Manage Your Population?

I'm just playing through my first proper legacy, the Everything Legacy Challenge. Being on a normal lifespan, I can see the sims around me ageing quicker than I am used to and I suddenly had a panic about them all dying off and being left with nothing other than hideous randomly generated npcs.

So... I have started going through manage households and pairing sims off and giving them the occasional toddler to grow the population.

It got me wondering what everyone else does.

So, what do you all do to keep your population strong and varied in age groups? And do you keep returning to restyle them as they get older?

I use MCCC to have them autonomously marry and have kids, but sometimes I force things to happen too. And I use a NPC Control mod by Paulson to stop the game to randomly generate npcs to fill roles and place existing sims instead, I can also set them in whatever npc job I wanted.
