So you think YOU are obsessed?
MissDoh:
My dear sweetie you are not alone. I too need to be locked in a closet.
I take note of the names of each of my Sims with gender, age level, aspiration, zodiac sign, jobs, marriage status (single, married, engaged etc).
Aspiration and zodiac signs are listed by gender and age group (I like a lot of variety in my game) and same for jobs.
I take note of each of the pre-made teens name that comes in each Maxis made neighborhoods. Take note of the name of the DJ'S, barista, maid etc... for all my neiborhoods.
And I could go on like that for hours. I prefer to write it on paper (since I don't have a printer at home) so it is always near me when I need it.
My boyfriend thinks I am a bit obsessive lol.... what do you think?

If only I can find a healthy balance between work, running the house, cats, hubby, and Sims 2. Problem is, all I want to do is play my game. And I get real cranky if I have not been able to play for a few days. *sigh*

My name is Barb and I'm a Simaholic.
I made charts for my genetics neighborhood. The top line reads "Last (name), Husband, Wife, Child 1, Sex, Child 2, Sex, Child 3, Sex, Child 4, Sex". On the side are spaces for astrological sign, aspiration, job, skin color, eye color and hair. I also have a weekly calendar (Mon-Sun) that I chart which day of the week they're on, when a sim got pregnant, had a baby, age transitions from toddler to teen and when they went to college. Three generations per page, printed on both sides of the paper.
A separate chart is for college. Which year, semester, note if they finished their term paper for that term, which dorm they're in, what their LTW (or my choice for their career is) and what their major is.
And I just recently made ANOTHER chart for which color married which color so I don't have two of one color family marry two of another color (like two blues both married to purples) because I want to see how much variety I can get in the children's genetics.
I keep this all in a notebook along with various other things I've printed like compatibility charts, cheat codes, etc.
Whew! I feel better just having admitted that! But... I... just... can't... stop...

I have a balance, although I don't know how healthy it is. I NEVER feel like I have enough time for TS2. When I'm at work, I spend my breaks and lunch reading through forums such as this. I get about an hour to an hour and a half in the mornings before I leave for work. That is the only time my husband "allows" me access to our one computer. For some reason, he absolutely cannot stand being at home while I'm on the computer and he isn't unless he's sleeping. I've noticed myself askng him if he'd like to take a nap several times on the weekends, just so I can play with my Sims.
I think it's all best for me since I usually get bored if I try to play for more than two hours at a time.
I've just recently started keeping records for my sims in a notebook, but I still don't list everything I'd LIKE to. I think I'm going to create a page template with all the information I want to keep for each of my Sims and make a PDF with that page template repeated multiple times, then upload it to Cafe Press and order a notebook of it so it's all nicely bound, like a workbook.
I'm actually sort of surprised no one's put together a Sims workbook in cafe press or the like to sell considering how easily it could be done and how many Simmers obsessively keep records.
