girl how in the hell do you manage to keep track of all these households i’m just trying to switch between 8 on my simblr and it’s a nightmare idk how you do it

Ah ha whelp being super organized and very meticulous note taking are your friends in this kind of endeavor! 

A detailed explanation of my system under the cut cause I cant do anything simply.

Starting off each household is assigned a number, they are always this number and it is also the play order in rotation. So Spencer-Kim-Lewis household is #1 and that keeps going all the way to the Lynx household that is #29.

In addition to that each and every sim has been separated by generation and gender. So I have a table for Generation 1 female, Generation 1 male etc…

In each of these separate tabs I keep track of the following items for each and every sim(not counting pets):

  • Household Born in
  • Household lived in as an adult
  • Heir (Y/N)
  • First Name
  • Maiden Name
  • Last Name
  • Sexual Orientation
  • Traits
  • Bad trait modifier(if they roll three “good” traits I roll a bad trait for them that comes to play in their story somehow)
  • Grade as a Child
  • Grade as a Teen
  • Relationship Type (single, boyfriend/girlfriend, married @ YA or Married @ A)
  • Partner’s Name
  • Career path and branch
  • # of pregnancies/adoptions(for women and/or Gay sims)
  • Children’s names
  • Skills maxed
  • YA Chance Card (story elements rolled at each adult stage)
  • A Chance Card 

    (story elements rolled at each adult stage)

  • E Chance Card 

    (story elements rolled at each adult stage) 

Lastly I also keep track of each household and its members on my blog with links to each household’s story from the beginning which I check and reread prior to playing the household just to make sure I’m not forgetting anything.

So yeah that’s my crazy system in a nutshell and probably more that you wanted to know, but hey that’s how I roll, so let me know if you have any questions!
