I am up to generation 9 of my Legacy family, the Lehmans. There was a time around generation 5/6 where I did get a bit stumped on what to do with them all so I took a break, but then found that I missed the "history" of the family so I ended up going back to them.
They key at least for me is to try and do something a little different each generation, and I am always randomising traits now to make things even more interesting and have found that my Sims seem more unique this way. Their personalities have definitely started to show through which is great.
My current family matriarch is a Master of the Real with her own art gallery which is set up as a retail store so she can sell her paintings. They are all painted from reference and I have gotten into the habit of making her travel to various cities (worlds) to get her inspiration for painting. I never restock an item so this way it plays into a realism facet in my head. The gallery is only open on weekends 11-7pm so this way it's not a grind and more or less an outing/event of sorts.
Her youngest son, Brockman, has just aged up to a child so I've spent the last hour doing up his new looks to match his personality as well as his bedroom. My save is literally 3-4 years old now so I am going to look to transfer the family across. I will lose the family tree in Simology which is a bit of a shame but I've found a nice template I can use to make my own soft copy so to speak, so I'll work on that over the next few days before committing. :smiley:
