Lifespan

Long as in never die

Long. BUT on top of that I only enable aging occasionally. Basically I play with aging off until the Sims I am playing are ready to have children, then I turn aging on until the children are teens and then stop again until they have aced all their traits.

Long because I get too anxious and grindy otherwise. There's just so much to do, and I feel like in normal lifespan there's not enough time to do it without sacrificing something else (like focusing a lot on work and skills, and not having a social life). Using long lifespan I don't have this issue.

I get bored if no one has aged up in awhile. Have tried long but its too long for me.

I play with aging off. My toddler has been a toddler for almost 2 years. ?

I would prefer an even longer lifespan then "long". When I use Mc Command center I can't play with aging off since every household fills up with babies.

I play with aging off.

I play on Long, but generally age up infants within a day (just long enough to bond a bit with the parents because that's the best way to start with a high relationship with kids), age up toddlers as soon as they max all their skills, age up children once they've completed the 4 childhood aspirations and have made a fairly good dent in character values, and age up teens once they've at least reached an A in high school and are in the green for the character values. Once they're young adult, I generally let them go through the full long-lifespan lives, only aging them up when they actually hit their "birthday." I like the long lifespan because it allows me to have an easier university schedule (2-3 classes a term), and get greater use out of festivals and seasons (each season is 2 weeks, so each festival occurs once per season). If I start getting bored, I'll toss something else at them: a new skill to master or aspiration to work on, send them on vacation, or go ahead and have them procreate so I can start over again with their kids and mostly leave the adults to their own devices.

Amen. As soon as they show up green on the household bar down left I age them up, which is usually just after the first diaper change but sometimes the second the cradle manifests.

Toddlers I grind until they get 5 on everything then immediately age them up.

I play with normal, but I would prefer if we could customize lifespans. I feel some are too long, while others are too short.
