Subscription Services in the Sims Yes or No?

I'm not sure I'd want to move on to sims 5 as I love sims 4 too much to switch, but a subscription would let me try without paying a huge price so I like that. However, I'm the type that keeps to the same save forever, aging on slow, I'm still playing my first ever sims 4 family (2nd gen just starting) after thousands of hours and 4 years) so I'd have to k ow that if I subscribed for a bit, then unsubscribed on months where I'm too busy for gaming time, my save wouldn't be deleted when I came back later when I do have gaming time. If I had to start a new save everytime I resubscribed, then no. And of course price is a factor and whether we could turn off new packs we didn't want.
