Keep in mind (because I didn't) that in order to get 33 LTW, you need 33 sims. I suppose that could break down as 2 in the first generation, then probably 4 each generation since the legacy ends at the birth of the tenth. I should have kept all five sisters of the second generation in the house and had them reach their LTW, using one of the youngest twins as heir. Instead, my next family-oriented sim gets to be a baby factory. I'm truly tempted to restart the Tests, my Sims 1 & 2 family. They had 11 children in Sims 2.
Also keep in mind that not everyone makes their LTW. I had a spouse that ended up being near elder when the heir married her (poor planning on my part, but it took him forever to woo her...) She died at only level 6 of her career.

2nd gen's husband made his LTW one night, then woke up the next morning and died. I was crossing my fingers every day that he wouldn't die yet. In my second 'hood, she married the second day to a brand-new YA.

I started my legacy, and when my founder married his sweetie, he discovered she had a teen daughter. Well .. I couldn't just leave the girl over at the other house. She took the founder's name and everything. So I moved her in, which brough about an extra $1000. Turns out she's one day away from becoming a YA -- d'oh, my timing sucked. Anyway, when she moves out she'll take money with her, so I'm not going to worry about it. They need to have a "do you have any kids" question in addition to the "are you single" question.

All of my Sims will be married before they start producing offspring, but that's my choice. Why should it be enforced on all players? One thing I always loved about Legacy Challenges is that even though there are rules to follow, there is much freedom in how each player accomplishes their goals. This makes it way more interesting for all players involved. If people like to torture themselves with single parent families, they can do it. In the end, that play style will actually penalize them, but it's their choice to play that way. This is, after all, a Legacy Challenge, not a "Keep the Throne" challenge.
I agree with you with you as far the freedom goes. I think everyone should play it the way they want to. Which is the reason I posted my ideas; some people like to have a set of rules or guidelines, if you will. I'm one of those types. Others can do with out the rules and still enjoy the game. I really think it's all about having fun and sharing ideas, experiences and of course good pictures. :)

It is kind of disappointing how identical children tend to be to their parents in Sims 3. I have a pair of CAS in my main (non-Legacy obviously) neighborhood that had 6 kids and the boys all have nearly identical faces.
First, kids don't fully express features very well. Second, part of this is because sims in TS3 have a more uniform appearance of puddingyness, and aren't quite as distinctive in appearance as their TS2 counterparts.
