Database IS ready

And sometimes there are issues with adding partners - I have to add both partners to the database before creating the partnership, otherwise it only appears on one sim's record. You know how creating the partnership can create the second sim? Well when it does that, their relationships panel is blank. Adding the partnership to their record then leads to a duplicate record on the original sim - and working out which one is the 'duplicate' record just does not work!
Vecsta or anyone else who has had this issue -
I have tried reproducing this problem several times and can't. The only way I get a similar result is if there is another Sim with the exact same name. I suspect you may have had duplicate names in the database. I should have mentioned this earlier, but as Zythe recognized, the database goes a little funky with duplicate names. At least one character in the first or last name needs to be different. I think I'm going to add a warning message when somebody tries to enter a duplicate name.
If this is NOT the problem, please let me know, and please provide any extra detail as to how this problem occurs.

I was going to post this in a new thread, but I think it is relevant to this one.
I just realized that I already have all the info on the Maxis families, and it would be selfish not to share it. It might be useful to some of you. I slapped it all into HTML, and the formatting is absolutely hideous (sorry). All the info is there except DNA (only expressed traits are included) and LTW and Turn on/offs. LTW and Turns on/offs can't be compiled because they seem to be randomly generated when you load the game, so they are different in each person's game.
Anyway, I only uploaded Veronaville so far, and the file is under 20kb so you might as well download it and see if it is at all helpful to you.

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?
Umm... soon ?? :P In Sim days or realtime? :D
I was originally hoping by Nov. 1 but I'm not quite so sure of that date anymore. But yes, barring unforseen circumstances, you will be able to transfer the data you've already entered into the new update.
One thing I am excited about is that it appears I've got the relationship indicators working. In other words, you'll be able to see how Sims are related by: father, mother, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, etc.
