Data Trackers

Do any of you keep track of your sims in programs like Excel? If you do, what program do you use besides Excel?

I'm currently using Excel and it's decent, but clunky for my needs. I like having pictures to go along with my sims and links that jump from the home page to the family pages and then to individual character pages. I'm 14 gens in and excel is finally starting to bog down.

  • I have all the aspirations in an excel ready to start my supersim (almost ready to start, just need to finish my starter save first). and I use the plum family tree program to get a decent family tree.

    Never heard of the plum tree. That looks like it will be helpful. I can remove the images from excel and put them there instead. I wish there was a plugin. I might move over to google sheets so it's all online.
  • I go old school and just write everything down in notebooks. I've gone through a lot of them over the years. I use family echo to keep track of family trees as well.
    Edit: spelling
  • I used to use One Note back when I did such things. Pictures and tables and anything else you like can go in there.
  • You could use excel to store your data and use mail merge to create pretty looking character sheets for your Sims in word.

    In the days of the Sims 2 & 3 I’d used to do a quick write up of what happened in the game in the form of a TV synopsis on tables in Word. I had various storylines through out the real life year on the families I rotated.
