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

Published: 10-11-2025 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY The 4t2 DIY Garage Set (Moocha Muses, 2019) is a great deco item, especially for urban landscapes – I highly recommend it! There are 4 recolor files, however, with small errors that distort the TXTR. I’ve identified/fixed them. Grab the fixed files below – they have their original filenames so replace the old files. FIXED FILES INCLUDE: Moocha_4t2_DIYGarageMural_Rec6 (top left) Moocha_4t2_DIYGarageMural_Rec7 (top right) Moocha_4t2_DIYGarageMural_Re17 (bottom left) Moocha_4t2_DIYGarageMural_Rec18 (bottom right)

DOWNLOAD (choose one) FIXED RECOLORS from SFS | from MEGA RECOMMENDED -Grab the 4t2 Community Canvas (Moocha Muses, 2018) and DIY Garage Set (Moocha Muses, 2019) sets if you haven’t already. -I made a handful of add-ons and recolors here: 4t2 Deco Garage Add-Ons (2024)

Published: 10-13-2025 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY What do I have planned for the future? The list is...never ending and ever growing...how much of it will get done/uploaded and when is the million dollar question. I have a lot of WIPs (“works in progress”) and hope to get some new sections of the site open. There will (of course) be plenty of business, build mode, and hood deco things as I get my lost-but-now-found futurist save up and running. I plan on updating some ANIMs (animations), text strings and collection files on older sets as well. I’ve got some ambitious plans for custom skills/traits. So as far as mods go, let me just say….tell your sims to save room for me in their inventories. *cackles in BHAV edits* CUSTOM SKILL PROGRESS! The learning curve for the type of BHAV coding I need to do is not as steep as it was at the beginning of the year...but there is still lots to do/test. I hope to have the first mod(s) out this winter. Here is the latest on that... 1. Unique properties can be assigned/tracked to a single token so instead of 170+ tokens, we'll likely end up with 20-ish (i.e. 20-ish OBJs...not 170+). I'm planning one token for each “skill tree” (i.e. a culinary token for all cooking/food related skills). This let’s you discard skill-related stuff you don’t use.

2. Custom skilling is possible for cats/dogs on a limited basis - the testing is going okay so far! Hopefully, Fluffy will be able to hunt, forage, and more for perks! 3. I'm planning just 2 REQUIRED objects for ppl who need to conserve OBJ counts - the skill token, and either the skill book (study/teach all skills in a single group) or skill board (to study/teach all 170+ skills - likely a 3t2 or 4t2 whiteboard).

4. Custom skills should build faster than normal/default skills since they’re extensions of those. Custom skills unlock based on how many default skill points you have – look at the (planned - not final) cooking skill progression:

cooking 01 = foraging cooking 02 = canning, juicing cooking 03 = homestyle cooking cooking 04 = herbalism, alchemy cooking 05 = baking, soul food cooking 06 = confectionery, nectar making cooking 07 = juice fizzing cooking 08 = mixology cooking 09 = gourmet cooking 10 = gastromancy

This is ONLY the number of cooking skill points needed to unlock the rest of the Culinary tree – you do NOT, for example, have to master herbalism BEFORE baking, juice fizzing, or soul food…herbalism is just easier to unlock. Each custom skill has its own 10-point scale of difficulty/perks.

Published: 5-19-2024 SUMMARY “Inspired by the wealth of Bella Goth lore from the Sims/SimCity franchises (aka the “simsverse”), the Bella Brand Series includes more than a dozen sets and 230+ new business-themed items. Lore suggests that the wealth/influence of the Gilman, Crumplebottom, Bachelor, and Goth families increases considerably under Mortimer and Bella Goth, especially the latter. So, this series imagines what a prestigious Bella-based brand might look like…” UPDATE 5-19-2024: FIXED GUID CONFLICT (CRITICAL FIX) I found a GUID conflict between table 003 and the base mesh – to get the fix, redownload the Fantasy Storefront set (Simmons, 2023). The updated collection file can be found HERE (and I’ve added @somedaythesun’s awesome items to the collection file). Sorry for the inconvenience.

I added links to TOUs and EULAs for EA, Patreon, TSR, MTS, and Tumblr on the FAQ-TOU page of my Simblr. CC/Mod creators and players often reference them, so I thought direct links might be helpful for those interested: https://cityof2morrow.tumblr.com/faq

Published: 9-28-2023 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY Unfortunately, I am no closer to solving the mysterious "XML error" messages for more than a dozen of my downloads here. Thanks to everyone who reported the issue and I hope to hear something helpful from SFS support soon.

If you’ve experienced/solved this issue, suggested solutions are welcome in my inbox.
