I was playing around with settings this morning and discovered that from YA to A you have 20 days. That's too short for me. BUT if you switch to Long Lifespan, you have 70 days. That is way too long.
So right now I can't decide! I keep changing back and forth between Normal and Long.

My rotation is big and I intend to fill all houses with played sims, so I can't have townies aging too rapidly
But I too want fully customizable lifespans (set the duration for each stage of life however suits your style) back. That sounds like a perfect addition to a "Generations Style" EP which includes toddlers and preteens in it

I just set 'Auto age sim (played sims)' to 'No' and 'Auto age (unplayed sims)' = Unchecked.
Then I can chose whenever I want the sim to age up with the cake
Click on each image to see the house
I know I could do this manually, but that kind of takes a lot of the fun out of it for me, personally.
But since you can age anyone on a birthday cake, no matter if a sim is in your household or is just random NPC, I really don't think this is such a big issue.
I'd be happier if EA is concentrated on fixing actual gamebreaking bugs and not a feature that is not essential. Especially since this can be set with mods.

I actually think Long Lifespan is just fine. I like having plenty of time to get things done. Normal Lifespan, alright probably could use a small boost. Maybe to 40 as someone else said. But I think Long is perfect as is.
My current feelings about The Sims 4. Here is hoping The Sims 5 can restore The Sims franchise.
They patched something to make it worse - jesh

You said "That came in a patch, though. In the base game, it was the same."
So, they took something we wanted, the ability to pick the age span for each type of person and took it away in a patch.
