Gameplay: How do YOU keep track of sim lifes?
J. M. Pescado:
Since Awesomeland is based on the Peasantry, I parody or punish what the real source material does.
witch:
I pretty much just play. I've started one or two records but never got round to updating them. I don't get much time to play anyway, so I'd rather not waste playtime by record-keeping. Too much like work. I have started to keep rough directional notes in the family bio bit, someone here suggested that. I also play either 3 or 4 days in rotation, so all sims age the same.
I'll marry someone's childhood sweetheart off to another, if the inkling takes me during game. Poor old Sophia Joque ended up looking so ageing-drama-showbiz-queen, she became a vampire. Marcel Joque couldn't take it and moved out. He was in love with Hannah Bell and I was going to move her in with Marcel. She refused to cheat however. :D Poor Marcel.

Access?
MICROSOFT Access?
You must be a masochist.
I am. I'm forced to use it at work and it's on my computer, so it works. I'm not advocating it, but it's better than Excel for what I need.
Grugly:
I use Excel to map houses, as I use Excel at work. There's some strange urge for self-punishment that drives people to use Office and Office-related products.

Actually, I've been thinking about using Access. Better than some other preset database that will never track what I want how I want.

When my game was working properly, I would just choose a family that hadn't been played in a while, mouse over each one's head to make sure i remembered their named properly, and let them do their things.
I booboo'ed trying to keep with Italian-sounding names and made a Ramone Vitelli and a Roman Vitelli. They are cousins, but ended up in college at the same time. My inner commentary is full of "Ramone...no. Ramon. No, no. ROMAN. Yeah. That guy." Didn't help that Ramone's girlfriend actually had more of an attraction to Roman, or that everyone involved (excepting Roman's brother Leonardo's girlfriend) has black hair and either is black or a dark mediterranean.
