Database IS ready

<< < (15/21) > >>

Pegasys:
Yes, like Lynda describes, the lower box is meant to be a "record" of what happened in the relationship, and the upper box "Marital Status" is the current status. You can't enter directly into the Marital Status because it's a calculation based upon what is listed in the lower box.

At this time the only way to change the relationship is to click on "Add/change partnership." Because of the way the DB is designed right now, you can't change it from "Married" to "Divorced" for example by selecting the partner and changing it. Otherwise it wouldn't automatically change on the partner's side. I wrestled with how to design the whole partnership aspect in the database, there are different ways with different trade-offs.

On a different note, yesterday I spent a long time working on adding ways to track relationships to other Sims. It's not too difficult to establish who is related by blood to another Sim.  It's harder to establish how (grandmother, uncle, etc.) This part will require a lot of testing if I can get it working...

I would love a place to keep track of Make Outs and Woohoos for my Romance Sims.


Yes and somebody has requested "In Love With"s too. I'm thinking that there will be a whole 'nother tab dedicated just to social relationships and chemistry. I suspect the Tabs are going to get a little bit smaller so that I can squish a couple more in.

So when can we expect this wonderful new update?  Not that I'm pressuring you or anything.  ;D  I assume we will be able to update the one we are using without loss of data?

I hope that is the case as well to be able to update with out losing data currently saved

It seems to dislike having two sims of the same name.
