But I also switch to playing their children as separate households once the children have grown because I don't leave them in the same legacy family house, but rather send them out in the world, so at that point I'm also playing rotational, at least until the older generation dies. Or even after they die if the legacy heir has siblings which I rotate between.

I play rotationally. Sometimes I play a household for days, sometimes only for 10 minutes, so it's always different and depends what part of the game I want to play. I don't think I've ever gone more than a week without switching lots though, but I used to play generations of the Goths, Calientes, Burbs and Brokes in Sims 2.
What that story is, I figure out as I go. If a given generation of a particular legacy ends up without a compelling story, I'll move on to their kids (or one of their siblings, or one of their sibling's kids.)
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
Which family I play depends on my mood, and how their household is going. For example, if I have a pregnant Sim, I will play the family until the baby is born.
Other times I may bounce around with what my goal is that day. If I want to have a Sim advance in a certain career, get enough money to buy a house, etc.
Otherwise, I may play them, because I just want to.
Also, I feel that having multiple families in a save file makes the world more alive to me.
I play rotational. Trouble is I play more, I make more Sims so each cycle gets bigger and some Sims I never get back to.
Note: This is why I have too many saves.

In the future, after she'll die, I'm going to play one of her kids (planning for her to have at least 10 kids or more).
I do switch to other saves for a while if I get bored. I have 2 other saves, one of which is where I'm having contests for sims like Survivor or Big Brother challenges lol
My simworld's coming up on its 2-year anniversary (Feb. 20) on this computer. One save and over a thousand hours.
And remember this above all. Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure they are not ashamed!

I have a bad habit of starting new saves and I've tried not to do it too often. I haven't succeeded yet, but last year I was able to cut it down a lot. I'm trying to do better this year, so far I haven't started any new ones or created any new Sims.

Prehistoric-Biblical/Mythical, Ancient-Dark Ages, Medieval-Renissance, Georgian-Ragtime, Roaring 20s-Awesome 80s, Futuristic-Beyond for my different timeline households.
Also, in November 2020 I started my first Legacy Challenge of Snow White.
I now have a combination of Adam & Eve's Legacy, Snow White's continuing Legacy, Fairy Tale households, Multiple Cultures, Superheroes, SiFi households & my Doctor Who Legacy (he's his own Father, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather & so on...) Lol.
Then when I do finally get bored for a little while, I just go play my Sims 3 & Civilization VI.
