SimLife Generator (Full Version 1.6)
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.

PERSONALITY (Basic Traits/Zodiac/Aspiration/Behaviors): Discover your sim's default personality traits, birth story, and aspiration. Use the extra story-oriented details here and in other profiles to give them a unique point of view.
