However, I have considered looking into making more ways for a sim to die in this mod... like modding the "take a spin" social to include a chance of an accident where the car is destroyed and the sims die horribly.
I, for one, am all for more (non-bizarre)ways for sims to die.
Bring on the mayhem!
MistyBlue:
I am pretty interested in this mod. I never played with aging off, but I usually want my sims to live a little longer than they do. I'm not sure about them living that long, but, hey, if I don't like it I can remove it. I don't see the length of life as a bad thing, though. It would probably take me so much longer to populate my hood, which is a good thing.
And to more accidental deaths...WOOT!

If you don't sync all your households to the same season (personally, I don't), your sims do get to experience a range of seasons in each age group. It's just that they're not playable when they are visitors on another lot.
It doesn't snow where I live. If we want to see snow, we need to visit the ski resorts interstate during the snow season, or go overseas. If I want my sims to experience a season that they're not going to see in their current lifestage, then I'll send them on vacation - it just seems normal to me as that's what people where I live do when they want to go skiing.
If I wanted a sim to be able to see all 4 seasons in a lifestage, I could do that with 3 shopping districts all set to a different season cycle to the main 'hood and to each other. Then my sim could go to community lots in those subhoods to experience stuff like making a snowman or building a sandcastle on a beach in summer.

To be perfectly honest, this sounds nightmarish to me. I can barely handle three sim-days of pregnancy, with pregnant sims nearly dying due to their hunger and energy bottoming out at the same time, not to mention the morning-sickness during the first stage of pregnancy, with the puking after every meal, and the subsequent need to flush and clean the toilet. No, thanks. Also, the child, teen, and elder stages are already too long, IMO. This hack is an interesting concept, but it's not for me.
Swiftgold:
Since I play with 1 day = 1 year, helped by making pregnancies one day long with a hack instead of 3 (for humans anyway; immortals get to keep 3 days for longer gestation period), I always just figured that the Sim world just has seasons that are four years long. It's not this world, anyway, so hey.
Though I do wish for more random ways for Sims to die that don't involve me making them do out of the ordinary stupid things - car accidents, for sure. It's kind of too bad Inteen isn't updating because I've always wanted a random "die in childbirth" to go along with the miscarriage possibility that doesn't involve me -choosing- outright to kill them. I've done this a few times when the story called for it, and there are some lovely headstones in the park's lake thanks to my mad scientist vampire zombie, but it really spices up an otherwise boring family's story when the random unexpected occurs, especially if it means things I never see or do like the social worker coming or kids being orphans.
