Did you know?

The Sims 2 Idea Let’s Play website has been growing for quite some time. What began as a space to share playthroughs has turned into a complete reference for structured and realistic Sims 2 gameplay.

Besides the Let’s Plays — featuring families like the Pleasants, Burbs, and Goth-Landgraabs — the site also explains the systems behind them: the logic, rules, and tools that keep everything consistent. You’ll find features like the Size Ratio Calculator, Project Realistic Ages, School Selector, Driver’s License, and Retirement systems, all aimed at bringing more realism into the game.

Some of these same systems are also being integrated into SimTracker 2.0, the new version I’m developing. A pre-beta update will be available soon, offering a first look at how it all connects.

🚧 SimTracker 2.0 – Pre-Beta Testing is Live! 🚧

I’m finally ready to share the pre-beta version of SimTracker 2.0!

Not everything’s up and running yet (it’s a pre-beta, after all), but here’s what you can explore right now:

Settings Page – fully functional, though a few more options will be added later.

Data & Lists – includes Import & Export features.

Neighbourhoods – complete and ready for testing under the SimTracker 2.0 section.

Lots – you can open it, but it’s still a work in progress.

Reports & Letters – nothing to see there yet!

Download the pre-beta here:

Please feel free to click around and test things out. Your feedback at this stage is super important, especially since I can’t fully test the .accde version myself (I use the full Microsoft Access).

You can already add data, but please wait until the official “go live” release before using it for regular play.

There’s a README included (layout update coming soon), and I’ll also be updating the Feedback, About, and Credits sections before final release.

Found bugs or have suggestions?

Send me a PM so I can track everything properly — comments are welcome too, but PMs are easier to manage!

Thanks so much for helping test SimTracker 2.0 — every bit of feedback helps make the final version better!
