When I played one long lifespan the seasons' length seemed right with LMS' mod of 21 days. Now I use normal lifespan and 14 is plenty long enough for me. I have found that using extra holidays became a pia so now I only have the majors and it seems to work out better.
In my house, dog hair sticks to everything but the dog.
14 days. Is actually too short for me. But 28 is too long...
I'm missing something in between.
Sul Sul!

If I am playing a household with teenagers or older I prefer to have modded 21days season or 28 days.
If I am playing a household with children or toddlers I prefer to have a 14 days season because I want the kids to experience several different seasons. To me it feels odd to have an entire childhood only during winter and spring for example.
Earlier I found it really irritating to have a family with sims that focused on gardening. I did not want the kids to only see snow or summer, so for their sake I wanted a short season. For the sake of the garden I wanted a long season, so that the plants had time to evolve a bit and it would give me time to get a garden that I liked to look at. It was driving me mad. The constant shuffling around with plants, what grows during the current season when it was the short 14 days version prior to this mod was not a fun way of gardening.
Then I discovered bienchen's mod that makes plants go dormant during winter only. Now my sims go into the store and buy seeds during the early days of spring and then we perfect the garden until winter comes. Maybe splice in a few flowers on the veggies so that it looks pleasing to me. During winter we do other things.
I have mine at 14 days a season, any less is too little, any more drags. Though my age settings are 2/14/21/28/49/56/42 (with pregnancy lasting 6 days) so it doesn't make a lot of sense when you think about it, lol.

I agree with most of you, 14 days is too short and 28 days too long.
I’m gonna try that tip @simgirl1010 with uicheats. That “schedule” you got going for seasons sounds more like my preferences 😊
