Do you keep notes on them all? Or do you limit it to one family or a group of families? What kind of info do you keep track on? Just skills and relations, or DNA, dreams and hobbies etc, too?

I used a speadsheet to keep track on everything, basically one line per sim, and sims grouped per household, and households grouped by hood and world. It's good for my rotational gaming, so I keep notes on every individual. But - I had a hard time keeping track on the community stats, such as which career is not take by anyone, or what aspiration or traits do I hardly ever use? With nearly 200 sims it should be a goal trying out all aspirations, traits and careers. I wish the game would give is some community stats like this, minimum how carerrs spread, maybe even how aspirations spread.

So, I recently scripted my own system, a full fletched Sims Residents Registry :) It will of course only work if I keep updating it, but I think it will be worth doing that extra effort. I can finally check what options are most popular, which are hardly used. I can look up single males or females, and a lot more.

If you want to check it out, I just posted about it on my blog, Simmerville's Sims.

Would you like the game to add a similar built-in system in a future pack/patch?

You have some automatic system or you must change all manualy? It is look great.
I start new game now, So maybe I Will make some as this. But I search for some automatic...

Thanks. I will need to update manually, that's the big catch. So, I'll not try to update every single skill progress etc, but only major events. Basically, I will probably only update the registry on birthdays. It would be so cool if the game would generate a similar registry automatically.
