I believe that there's no right or wrong on how we play the game. As long as you're comfortable and it keeps you interested.
Anywho, here is how I play with my rotational play.
1. I don't play with any mods at all.
2. I play with 14 days seasons, and long life span. I've experimented with multiple combo, and this is the best combo for me. You might want to try & choose whichever suits your play.
3. I play with ageing on only on active household. I prefer to control my Sims age so I won't missed any huge milestone such as birth, birthday, and even death.
4. I rotate every 7 Sims day (Sun to Sun) because of their works and schools.
5. I keep track of all my households (11 households as of now) in a worksheet and I numbered every household so that I know which house I should play next. I have all their details from traits, careers, aspiration, etc and I even created a family tree (It's going to be huge as I also play with the townies).
6. I'm quite flexible if I feel the rules that I set is too repetitive. I change the rules but I do keep track so that I know that I made some changes.
7. Most importantly, have fun! :D
