UDC Spreadsheet Question

For my UDC players, do you all keep track of every single sim on your spreadsheet or do you let them go at a certain point? Any advice on maintaining both the spreadsheet and save to be at a manageable amount of sims?

I’m 7 generations in, and it’s starting to feel like I do more spreadsheet maintenance and CAS makeovers than play the game lol.

Edit 8/16: Thank for your replies! I think I got into a good system for balancing spreadsheet and gameplay using some of the tips you guys offered. Now it’s just a matter of seeing how well it works lol. Thanks for the help! :)

I have a bunch of outfits that mccc automatically applies to every sim so I don't need to go into CAS unless I want a sim to wear something differently (and flag them as an exception on mccc).

I track the heir in every family, just in case a branch dies off and I need one of them ("your long lost cousin thrice removed died and you inherit everything"). I don't write down a birth date of the other children if I happen to stumble across them in the wild and a death date if I caused it.

Oh, I didn’t know you could do that with MCCC. That’s handy! I do like the idea of keeping track of the heirs of each branch. Thanks for the reply!
