@jenplayssims thanks for much for creating this challenge and asking me to answer questions 8, 17 and 19.
8. Not really. Sometimes I have a vague idea of what I'd like to have happen during some generations, but I try to let my sims (somewhat) decide by following their whims. Of course, this type of gameplay requires mods (in my opinion) which I'll link in my answer for question 19.
17. Not really until I got into rotational gameplay. I started a historical legacy last year but never really finished it for a few reasons.
1) The lack of immersion was tough for me. Seeing the NPC's in their non-historical outfits bothered me. That's a big reason why I started making the NPC replacements (here + here).
2) I had just gotten into mods and cc and made a lot of newbie mistakes and it affected by save file. My new historical save (that I am working on) is going to be a combination of legacy and rotational gameplay, which means I'll pay more attention to the "spares". Playing with just one family just doesn’t work for me anymore.
19. Yay! I really enjoy mods and CC so here is long list (sorry, but not sorry) of my must haves for Victorian gameplay. If I didn’t include one of your historical must haves, please tell me about it. 😊
Lastly, I tag these folks.

Must Have Mods (not all historical but highly recommended):
MCCC – for so many reasons, but mainly I like this mod for its dresser function. It's so nice to be able to control what townies are wearing without having to edit each one.
UI Cheats Extension – fixes so many issues with the game and allows more control. Also, needed to promote and demote sims for custom careers.
