What combinations of lifespan/season lengh do you use?

Longest possible settings for both. Otherwise seasons go around so fast it makes me dizzy and the holidays are so crammed up against each other there's no space between them. I use a mod to get out of having to observe holidays anyway. I feel like there are too many, and too many fussy things to have to do for them. The mod disables Sims getting a bad mood from not celebrating holidays, so I don't have to go to the work of cleaning them out of the calendar for each save.
