Database IS ready
witch:
Hi Pegasys
I made a few notes last night as I entered my first characters, hope they're helpful.
I enter data in the new sim page. When I click on list view not all the data shows, even though it has already been entered. I didn't see gender, age or aspiration on the list view & had to re-enter the data.
If I altTab out to another program, then return to yr d'base, the dropdown list of the currently selected field will not work again until I select a different field, then return to the original field.
In the 'do you want to add a sim' dialogue box, the 'no' is on the left and the 'yes' on the right. I automatically kept clicking on 'no'. Don't know if it's counter-intuitive or me being kackhanded. ;)
Do you have Tab set up for field navigation? I tend to use it but tab seems to send me round and round a bit, doesn't go to the 'add children' subform very well, I keep ending up at the top of the form again.
Deleting a child is weird. I tried following the blue arrow, but could only change, not delete a child.
The neighbourhood name is not staying in the field as a default once selected, had to go back and fill it in a few times.
I'm not finding the date fields relevant at all.
The picture thumbnails are very small, they seem to be set to about 2cm square.
Extra data?
It would be good to store genetic character traits as well as in game ones. I would prefer to record numbers rather than just highlighting extreme character traits.
Gender preference would be good considering the game is supposedly using it now.
Is ghost? tickbox
Remaining days
Hope this is helpful. :)

I had the same issue with it. Of course I was tired but....

I had the same issue too. Maybe it's because I'm left handed too?
I was using tab for field navigation as well. When I was adding a partner, the marital status field didn't like the tab key for some reason - had to move my hand over to the mouse and select the marital status that way.
While I don't have nightlife yet (although I intend to get it soon), I think it would be neat if the physical data had a couple more categories beyond hair, eyes and skin tone - such as makeup, full face makeup, facial hair. Then the database could be searched to find someone who matches a sims turn-ons or turn-offs.
Please don't think that I'm criticising your efforts or that I don't like the database - I love it. I guess I'm just a little bit anal retentive in my own particular style.

Yes same Pegasys, only constructive criticism is meant. I'm viewing myself as a beta tester helping you iron out the bugs. :)

Phew, the initial test (alpha/beta/gamma?) version of the Sims2DB database is ready! :)
Please go to http://www.sims2db.com/sims2dbv05.zip to download.
Unzip the files into a folder, and then click on the Sims2DB.EXE file to start the database.
I did this. But when I click on the Sims2DB.EXE file, nothing happens. Have I missed something somewhere? The download went fine, and so did the unzipping.
