Do you usually allow the game to age your sims up (short, normal.long)?
Or if you dont, how long do you keeps households the same age?
Im letting my sims age up according to the default life spans because I like rules and structure. But I think it would be cool to have a family that never changes. It's kind of like how the characters are always the same age in your favorite cartoons.

I think the longest I've gone without aging was a sim I kept a toddler for 4 sim weeks.
But as far as the NPC's characters in the games, I might Age some of those up to where I want them, just not the chars I make.
Keeping them the same "Age" is a neat idea I wonder how long I could go, keeping mine the way I made them. I guess time will tell.
Aye time will tell, Happy Simming.

Toddlers are adorable, but far too much work. I could'nt handle keeping sims in that stage of life forever . The other life stages I can handle.
toddlers are adorable, I got a family of 2 Moms living in same household, 1 has a set of Triplets, the other a set of Twins,
Omg.You're a champ then. I am barely handling one toddler

I will probably let them age when we get the family game pack.
I haven't counted really. But I tend to give my sims the long lifespan. Since I'm playing a legacy right now though, I let my toddlers gain all the skills before waiting for the next weekend, and then aging them up. (at least that way I had time to give them a birthday party). Now that they're in the kid stage, I'm waiting till they're almost ready to age up, and if possible, I once again make sure to have them celebrate their birthday (and age them up) in the weekend. I've done the same with the adults;
The lifespan depends a lot on what my goals for that specific save are, for example in my legacy aging is set to normal but on most of my other saves it's on long instead. I find it really interesting that most people here prefer to play with aging off, I'm wondering, doesn't it get boring to play with the same sim and the same traits for a long time?

That's a long time. I like the idea, because with each new expansion or game pack, you get to experience something new with that family and it brings their story more alive.
I have three other saves, two short (one storywise because the main character is a vampire, he sees all his loved ones pass away and he can't die.) and a normal (which I still have to start with lol). But I do not get sad if my short sims die, because I had them for a little time.
But to answer the question, I do not play with aging off, as I feel someday it's time to move to the next generation.

But now I love marrying sims and having a baby that I eventually let have a birthday to the delightful toddlers we finally got - but now I have a new issue - I don't want children to turn to those oversized teens so I am just keeping the aging off and my sims families with just the delightful toddlers. I may eventually let some have a birthday to child but the teens just keep me from playing Legacies I so loved in past Sims almost as bad as the not having toddlers did - so technically I stopped the aging almost 3 years now.
