Do you need an easy way to track all your Sims and households in The Sims 2?
This is my personal Sims 2 tracking spreadsheet spreadsheet. You can easily edit it to suit your own game or whatever relevant information you want to track.
I’ve created two versions – Standard and Extended. The standard version tracks all the basic information and the extended one is a little more in-depth.
I’ve found that spreadsheets are a necessity to my gameplay – especially because I play rotationally and often have a large number of households and families in a single neighborhood. I use a separate one for each ‘hood to keep up with all my Sims.
Standard Tracking Spreadsheet
The standard spreadsheet is exactly as demonstrated in my 100 Subscriber Video. It’s the one I use in conjunction with Flash Note and this blog.
The standard spreadsheet includes tracking for:
- Household
- Name
- Role
- Age
- Zodiac sign
- Aspiration
- LTW
- Career and level
- Job
- Hobby
- Bank account
- Romantic partner.

Extended Tracking Spreadsheet
The second one is an extended version. It includes more tracking options so you can keep up with everything about your Sims.
It contains everything on the standard version plus:
- College degree
- Eye color
- Hair color
- Skin tone
- Favorite color
- Turn-ons and turn-offs
- Interests
DOWNLOAD THE EXTENDED SPREADSHEET:
Both versions of the Sims 2 tracking spreadsheet include tabs for your Cemetery to track dead Sims and a Notes tab for random notes and brainstorming.
In the spreadsheet, what if you play a household, and they move to another household in the middle of the rotation?
Hi Theo! That’s up to you how you want to handle it. Personally, I only let my Sims get married or move in/out at the end of their rounds to keep everything in sync.
I tried to download the spreadsheet. It shows an excel file extension on dropbox, but after I download it it’s showing a .7z file extension and I’m unable to open it. Any idea what’s causing that???
The file is zipped. You’ll need a file archiving program to extract the spreadsheet. I recommend 7-zip. Free download here: https://www.7-zip.org/
Thanks, Cindy! That would explain it. I don’t have winzip installed on this computer, but I do have it on the one I play on. I’ll have to give it another go later!
Good luck and happy Simming!
The Tracking Spreadsheet could not be downloaded, would you mind sharing it again?
Hi there! The links have been updated.
Thank for your help ! 😀
I really appreciated
Why when I click the download it takes me to the Error 404 website
Because my Dropbox is full. Links have been updated.
Would you ever make it into a google docs file (non-download)?
Yes, I do plan to update this with Google sheets soon. In the meantime, I think you can still download it and manually upload it to Google Sheets using this method: https://www.howtogeek.com/398570/how-to-import-an-excel-document-into-google-sheets/
The blank spreadsheet is now available on Google Sheets. See my newest post: https://pleasantsims.com/tracking-spreadsheets-basegame/
Hi Cindy,
What happens if your sims rolls a want to have a baby? Do you do it on the first day of the rotation or wait until the next rotation if they roll it on the 2,3, or 4th day?
I try whenever they roll the want. Babies aren’t always born on the same round they try. It’s up to them!
