WIP: SimLife Generator (Testers Wanted)
Published: 5-16-2026 (Version 1.5) | 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 tool for generating Sims 2 character profiles. Use it to create new sims, play with ideas, edit existing sims, or get unstuck in Bodyshop/Create-A-Sim. You can also profile details related to a sim’s background, family, hobbies, relationships, career, lifestyle, and more!
This tool requires one of the following: Excel 2021 and up, Google Sheets, LibreOffice 26, MS Excel Online (via MS Outlook), Office 365, 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 (“DEF” or “TS2”).
Select Sims 1/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.
IMPORTANT: Generated suggestions come from a small language model (SML). Text items stored in the gray “DATA-“ tabs – DO NOT ALTER THESE unless you know what you’re doing. The password to unlock these is: cityof2morrow.
TESTERS WANTED! If you use one of the programs listed above – I’m looking for another set of testers for the generator. There are a few unfinished areas but it is 95% finished. I’m still looking for feedback on the following:
-What kinds of reference images you need for the FACE profile (I was thinking body shapes, head shapes, eye shapes, beards, 1A thru 4C hair). You don’t have to test Steps 1-5 on this profile since it’s been thoroughly tested – unless you want to!
-I need links to TS4 body presets (so I can add them to the suggested shapes part of the BODY tab.
-Making pets using the PETS tab for TS2, TS3, and TS4
-General feedback on any other profile tab (which parts you like best, which parts could be improved/explained better).
-Suggestions for the CENSUS tab (the plan is to generate a census of sims types. Example: how many low, medium, high income sims a subhood should have).
