A lesson users here should be well aware of, but seem to forget rather easily.

Indeed. Silvam's parks mod is as core to my OOTP experience as anything out of the box and the fact that modders have the ability (and talent) to do these things is awesome. I have no clue how they'd go about getting rights to add older parks but am grateful that we still have the ability to use them through the fantastic community here. I imagine once you start charging for things, the calculus changes.
I only play historical and have no doubt that the team has included a bunch of stuff to improve historical play that I won't notice until I start diving in again for a new save.
