Database IS ready
phyllis_p:
What a nifty program! I keep my stuff in an Excel sheet at the moment, but this offers a lot of things my sheet doesn't have -- and it's prettier ;-) May have to try it out. You are definitely more awsome than me! Congrats on such a massive work!

The only weirdness I've experienced so far, (haven't done much just got names and relationships in) is that sometimes if I put in a female and say she is married, put in her husband, then when I bring him up it says he is female, glitch? not sure...also, wondering, say I have a sim that is married when I put her husband as died (after he dies) and put the grave and stuff into the system, will it automatically say she is widowed?
Yes that's a glitch the husband is supposed to be set to male. Will be fixed; thanks for pointing it out.
Oh, and yes if you set the status of the husband to "Dead" it will say she is widowed in the Marital Status field up at the top. It won't say it in the Spouse(s) box, however; that will stay "Married".

Thanks Pegasys. Ctrl-shift recovered my data. You might like to add how to recover a file to the help file.
I had 2 other windows open - one was my sims game, which was paused. The other window was my email program (Outlook) which may have been doing one of it's periodic 'check for email' things at the time.
ZiggyDoodle:
Now that I have 60 Sims entered, I did notice one oddity: When I add a child to a household I fill in the relevant data. Only time I do use dates is when I am dealing with twins, which I seem to have more than my share of. And then I just make up the dates since I have never paid attention to Sims birthdates.
But when I go back to the "card file" for that child, the origin of the Sim is left blank. If the child is born to a set of parents, it would seem logical that the origin field should read "born in game," unless the child was adopted and the "adopted" box checked.
No big deal - but I've got to stop playing with Pegasys' DB and get back to the game!

I think (have to go back and check) that if one or both parents are "born in game" then the child is set to "born in game" otherwise, it's left blank because the child could be a CAS (or a Maxis-made Sim). Maybe the default should be set to "born in game" .... lemme think about that.

Me too! I really should be playing the game, at least to help improve the database ;) !
