Indeed I do. I have seasons set to be 3 weeks long, making a sim year 84 days total and slowed down aging such that the lifespans...sort of...correlates to the year length as follows:
* Baby+Toddler+Child+Teen = 42 days (1/2 a year). The exact numbers elude me, but it's something along the lines of 2/8/18/14. I know baby and toddler are both relatively short, and child is the longest.
* Young Adult = 42 days (1/2 a year)
* Adult = 42 days (1/2 a year)
* Elder =....it all falls apart here, 14 days (just 2 weeks). Elders don't drop dead right after the duration set for them happens, and I don't like a game that gets full of a ton of elders, so I don't have it set very high.
I wanted to have the 1/2 year intervals be a whole year, but 84 day lifespans for each of those stages makes for sims that just live way too long. Tried playing with shorter seasons, but I really didn't like how quickly each season came and went. So, my current approach is a compromise between what I wanted to do and what I actually enjoy.
