Some good general advice there @happyopi. I didn’t know MCCC can stop a career! Is it part of the career package or cheats or...
I was playing custom age spans which had two years (approx) to a Sim week. I didn’t find it too bad. Then when University came along, that was going to take the equivalent of six years minimum (more like eight) and that just didn’t seem quite right at first glance. I experimented briefly with a custom age span much more like long, where a Sim week was a year. But too much seemed to happen too fast. My Sims were YA and doing well in uni and careers respectively and barely halfway through their twenties..

@Hermitgirl. I’ve nearly reconciled that I like to come up with new characters and spend my Simming time as I do. However I really, really would like to play out more of the stories I make up in my head and as mentioned above, Sims get better with longer playtime...
Luckily for me, most of my houses and characters are saved on the Gallery (as backup) so I have access to many of my old creations. I honestly haven’t got so attached to someones story that I’ve felt the need to keep the save itself.
Maybe I need to pull some of them out and make them related somehow (as suggested in various posts above). Only thing becomes my tendency to micromanage, which becomes harder the more Sims you introduce. I’ve even been considering a control only one Sim sort of challenge (ISBI or asylum I think) with the basic idea that if I see what they can do on their own, I’ll be freer with my Sims. I haven’t braved that experiment, yet..
