I keep it off mostly. I have certain things I want to be accomplished in each life stage and when that is done, I age them up or turn it on to normal until they age themselves up.
I usually play with aging off or long lifespan, since I like to hang with my sims for a good long time. Plus, I often want to do things with my sims that the normal lifespan just wouldn't allow for. For instance, I have one save where I have two brothers completing every single base game career, with each taking a different branch. Even the long lifespan would be too short for that challenge!
I'm currently on long. But ideally I'd like an option between normal and long. I don't play all that often, so on long they barely age, but it's nice that there's some progression as I don't want them to live forever.
always with aging on. if i had it off i would get bored with the sim/family quickly. i only wish some lifestages were a bit longer and some a bit shorter.
I prefer to play the Sims on the longest life span possible (love the way aging is in Sims 3) with aging on - but in Sims 4 there is no point as aging in my view is for all the life stages and seeing no toddlers, teens same as YA, no differences between teen, YA, Ads, and elders - never mind the crib babies - well not really a sims game to me - so no point in having aging on. My sims all are single sims teen or ya - it doesn't really matter they are the same - one goes to school and one goes to work - no marriages, no babies, just a bunch of look alike hermits - no point.
But in a real sims game - yes epic aging if possible with aging on.

I always play with aging on, and I don't think I ever kept a baby as a baby for longer than a day.
I leave my babies for the two days the parents have the New Baby! buff. When that's gone, my next move is age up/go to CAS. They don't usually grow into fashion-plate status outfits, y'know.
