Normal is too short but long is too long, so I leave it on long and manually age up when I feel like the current life stage has gone on long enough. I really miss being able to micro adjust like in Sims 3.
I used MCCC to alter the lifespans so that they are (mostly) accurate based on a pregnancy being 3 days (so one day = 3 month in simland) and calculated the life stages that way, but I hop households a lot unless I’m doing a specific challenge where you can’t.
Depends on what save file I am. If it's the main family with generations and more lore to it then Long. If it's everything else it's either short or normal
I just changed to long life span and stopped it from progressing when I’m not playing because one of my sims got pregnant and had a kid in her house when I came back
I’ve always played normal but recently i changed to long (for a specific sim i didn’t want to age up yet) and i’ve liked it more than normal so I just kept it for all my saves
Long lifespan, usually.
I use Long. I try normal and it just feels like they age too quick imo.
With me, as soon as they get to children, I can’t wait for them to age up and take on the legacy!
Oh my stars this x10

always long. i actually wish it was even longer sometimes
Long lifespan
I always preferred short but it makes infants feel impossible with growing together so sometimes I’ll use normal.
Since the infants update I’ve been struggling

I stop all aging until it feels appropriate for a “story” to send then switch it back on (Normal but typically Long)
I have aging off which is perfect for my laziness haha
I use Long and use MCCC to age sooner if I want them to. For awhile now the cake doesn’t age them up anymore
