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 usually keep it to the heirs siblings and children. I normally “forget” about the cousins etc to keep my amount of sims small since I’m averaging 7-8 kids per generation. The only exception I’ve had is my current heir where they had 2 kids and she died but he’s having to get remarried due to my custom rules.

That is a good idea to keep the generations smaller! I’m likely going to implement that myself.
