Database almost ready...
Pegasys:
In reply to Lauraglenn: yes there will be printable reports available. There is one semi-customizable Excel-like view (called a table view) where you'll be able to position and resize columns and this can be printed. I also have a couple of other printable reports but this is is kind of the tricky part because there are so many possible ways to present the data. I fully expect that these reports will be tweaked and more reports added.
I think the way I'll personally use the database is to print the reports and use these also as a form to add more data. Or just review it before I start playing. I don't think I'll switch back and forth during play but take notes and then enter in afterwards. It was kind of weird I started playing yesterday after a 10-day hiatus and I had no idea to do with the one family I was playing, I'd sort of forgotten who they were and had lost momentum. Previously I'd been playing (not just that family) at least a couple of hours a day every day.

I really have been in need of something like this, but have been too damn lazy to do it myself. I just have post-it notes strewn all over my desk. I would love to do some testing on something like this.
Printable reports? Ooooh, now I am getting chills!

This sounds great (I LOVE databases) but I have no printer and I too need info at my fingertips, so I'm not sure it'll be practical for me (I do have two monitors on my computer, so technically I could run TS2 in window mode on one monitor and the program can be up on the other one, but I don't like playing games in window mode)
It looks like SimPE does have an export feature, sort of. It's manual and it uses a bunch of codes, so that would need to be translated into plain English, but it could theoretically be done to import and/or update Sims one at a time.

I'd love this. It would be great for reconstructing things when I fubar my game!

This looks really cool. Can't wait to try it.
I can't install SimPE because my computer refuses to install NET Framework 1.1, and I refuse to care why. While I'm sure this doesn't have all of SimPE's features, this looks to be sweet nonetheless.
