What is the easiest way to play rotational gameplay?

I think you’ll find rotational play really fun, it rounds out your neighbourhoods by knowing all the stories of other households around the town. I play they same way as @NRowe :

I used to put aging on for active, but not played. With the aging for non-active (townies etc) only on during the first family of the rotation. Does that even make sense?

I also keep a notebook where I write a lot of the goings on down and keep track of what week it is.

I think the bolded part is very important if you have ageing on for your active household (and off for played) and you want the townies to age at the same rate as your played households. If you keep the townie aging on all the time, they will age up super fast and die before you know it.
