How do you play "legacy" style?

Do you play with aging on or off (age whenever you feel)?
What lifespan you use: small, normal or long?
Do you rotate with the offspring?
Who do you choose to be your heir?
Do you set goals for lifestages?
Do you have a theme/set of goals for each generation?
Do you only play challenges?
Let me know your personal "rules"...

1. Aging is On when I'm playing the legacy household. During rotations it's off so I don't miss birthdays or age-locked aspirations/skills.
2. I use a modified Long lifespan since the regular Long lifespan isn't enough time for me. My legacy households tend to be filled with 3+ children, and I enjoy large households.
3. I only rotate through my main families' heirs and let the siblings do whatever they want
4. Eldest child or whichever child comes out to be a mix of both parents. I don't like having same-facey heirs since I'm interested in the genetics system.
5. Goals I have for heirs are that they have to max all their toddler/child skills and start gaining teenage/adult skills while they're children. Most of my heirs are musically bound, so almost all of them play piano or sing and max those skills before they age into a teen. They also end up with at least lv5 in other adult skills before they age up.
6. No real set goal or theme for each gen, just either using them to explore each pack I get or have them min/max things before they die
7. Nope, sometimes I just let the game run and check on it later lmao
8. The only one that comes to mind is if I'm playing a household that isn't my legacy house, the toddlers/children are only allowed to age up when they max their skills. I can't use cheats in my legacy households either, but manipulating bugs/glitches or any means of obtaining extra funds is free game. My whole legacy is just full of criminals at this point
For other households, money cheats are ok, but skilling cheats aren't. Kinda makes the game boring if I cheat skills imo
