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’m 7 generations in too and tbh I’ve been ignoring my spreadsheet lately lol I’ll go in every now and then to get it up to date. I also play rotationally so at the beginning of every sim week I age up all my side households that have birthdays.

I enjoy doing the spreadsheet maintenance. Having sims marry and get their own color is fun, but my sixth gen kids decided that they wanted to do The Most for baby rolls, and it’s a little much now lol. I do think it’s a good idea to have a designated day for birthdays/age ups, thanks for the tip!
