On my old TS2 site I had a detailed and quite cool index of my residents, with info on their personality, careers, interests, lifeline and more. There was even a family tree making it easy to see their relations, and an easy way to switch to another sim's bio. You will find the old index here - some info seems to be broken, but click some links and you'll get the idea. Each sim even had their individual diary page!!!
For TS4 I will do it a bit more simple, like skipping the family tree. It's been too long since I programmed anything in Javascript, besides I play rather slowly so there wouldn't be that many generations to explore, anyway. I can't just transfer the old TS2 script, because TS4 sims have a different set of info that no longer match my old programming.
The main reason why I'm creating this index, is that in my community I often need a search tool to find certain sims. Say, who are single, YA and of a certain social class? Who works in the Business career and might be candidates for a new top job? Who would be candidates for a new council election? I do keep all the info in a spreadsheet, but it gets quite hard to find a group of sims based on specific data. I can scroll to find ideas, but not to see the bigger picture. Besides, it would be nice storing all residents' photos somewhere - and to share all this with you.
This new index might be up and running within a week, but it will probably take much longer to add all my residents - there are probably more than 250 of them including those who died already. I'll of course post again when it's due to take a look :)
