Things Are Gonna Stay Strange

Belinda is the middle sister and full-time peacekeeper of the Crumplebottom family. She's pretty much the only thing that keeps Beatrice and Bianca from tricking each other into oblivion. Sometimes Belinda wonders if she was actually born into the right family but those thoughts are quick to disappear after spending an hour with her two conflicting sisters. Yes, Beatrice is difficult to deal with when she gets grumpy, and Bianca can be a little self-absorbed… always. But Belinda is determined to have them get along. (Because it's the only way she'll get some peace and quiet in the house!)

Take a look at my Grand Theft Auto-inspired save file!

In the first picture, you can see the Ocean View District, a colorful neighborhood heavily inspired by GTA Vice City. I even tried to create a custom beach (which still needs some work). This area looks amazing at night with all the neon lights!

In the second picture, you can see a small part of the neighborhood I'm currently working on. This is the low-income area of the city, where criminals, shady characters, and all kinds of troublemakers live.

I mentioned in my Alice lookbook that I reckon, even though no one in the Spencer-Kim-Lewis household has a job, Eric is singlehandedly supporting everyone with his successful run on primetime medical sex-drama Malpractice. Including his mother Vivian.

Eric might be famous, but Viv's the real one to watch. Give her 30 minutes and she'll have you confessing your deepest secrets over a glass of grape nectar and a grilled cheese sandwich.

You just better hope no one at Willow Creek power-walking club judges you too hard...

Published: 6-10-2026 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY “You can tell a better story when you have a more fleshed out character” – Simulation Princess, 2026 The SimLife Generator is an excel-based planning tool for simmers. Use it to create new sims, play with ideas, edit existing sims, tell stories, or get unstuck in Bodyshop/Create-A-Sim. This is an ideal resource for editing playables and non-playables alike.

This tool requires one of the following: Excel 2021 and up, Google Sheets, MS Excel Online (via MS Outlook), Office 365, LibreOffice 26, or PlanMaker.

Some profiles will include both default and custom content – disregard what doesn’t apply to your sim. Sims 2 default items are generated on separate lines for ease (“TS2” or “DEF”).

Select Sims 3/Sims 4 items were included so there is some limited application for those games. Lots of descriptive details are available to help you create unique faces/bodies – not everything will have a literal button/slider in Create-A-Sim (i.e. there is no “dad bod” or “bottom-heavy” toggle in-game but the detail can help you assign unique physical features).

See below for more information.

Only the Excel, Office 365, and Google Sheets versions have the CENSUS tab.

Tutorials/Tips for this will be posted under the #co2tools tag.

DETAILS This tool works best if you have all EPs/SPs - use your own judgement otherwise. GETTING STARTED: On the HOME SCREEN tab, do the following: (1) Enter the total number of default and custom FULL FACE templates installed in your game (REQUIRED for TS2). If you don’t use custom face templates or want to limit randomization to default items, a number between 12-30 is recommended (the default is ~27). (2) Use the drop-down menus to select BASIC GENETICS (REQUIRED for ALL GAMES). The genetic information will sync across all profiles. Select any profile type by clicking on any of the non-gray colored tabs.

RE-RANDOMIZE PROFILES: To re-randomize any profile, hit F9 OR select a yellow/empty cell and hit DELETE until you get desired details. SAVE AS YOU GO: All profiles will re-generate simultaneously every time so you should save/export individual profiles as you go. To save a profile, select the portions you want to export and do one of the following:

To export just the text, paste “values” in another excel sheet or as text in another document.

To export as an image, select Paste > Paste Special > Paste as Picture.

To export for the purpose of additional editing, paste to a separate document or photo editing program.

Depending on the website/app, you may be able to paste the profile directly (e.g. you can paste directly to Discord).

IMPORTANT: Generated suggestions come from a small, Non-AI language model (SML). Text items are stored in the gray “DATA-“ tabs – DO NOT ALTER THESE unless you know what you’re doing. DOWNLOAD (choose one) Version 1.6 from SFS | from MEGA

Okay so I went to an interview for a company that makes comedy shows in the UK and a friend who had a little more experience than me was also being interviewed, although I didn't know this.

And we discussed my work in the TV/film industry at this point and I had only ever worked on set and this job would be in office which meant I was unlikely to get the job because the type of work is very different.

Until we got to the "tell me about life outside of work" section of the interview and I mentioned a few hobbies and stuff and it was completely normal.

Until I mentioned my Simblr...

And I didn't go into huge nerdy detail, I said "Oh I also use the game the sims to make a mini soap opera" and the producer interviewing me had never heard of such a thing before and asked me to elaborate.

"Well the game comes with a camera you can move around, and over the last 15 years people who play the game have been modding content you can download into it, so you could make a historical drama or a scifi, anything really. And photoshop helps with any other limitations"

Interviewer was really intrested in the modding part so I told her about people I spoke with on various platforms who either made stuff for me or helped me find somthing that I asked for, always for free.

And the thing is, in office when making TV shows you need to make friends and contacts to be able to get things sorted on a short time scale, you'll need to have things custom made and you'll need video and photo editing skills.

All of which I had accidently mentioned I do within the sims community, without knowing it I had a transferable skill.

My friend ended up getting hired because she had the confirmed skills needed but then called me up and said they'd adjusted the budget and would like to hire me as well on a shorter contract and admitted it was the sims talk that made it impossible for them to not want me.
