Some questions
Hi and thank you for helping create Sim articles of The Sims 4 Sims, as well as uploading their images! Since you seem to have the game, may I ask you a thing? Do Sims and households still have descriptions that tell their biographies?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:53, September 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hey Nikel. Yeah I have the game. Thank you for the kind words. As for your question about bios for sims and households, individual sims don't seem to have their own bios like in previous Sims games and the only way to check family descriptions is when you manage the families (bit of a pain really). At This point Johhny Zest would be the only Sim's 4 individual with his own bio since he is the only resident of his household ergo household/sim page together. Hope this clears things up. I'm been working on making the family pages for the Sim's 4 and moving on to work on individual Sims soon. I'm not a complete newbie at editing, but I'm not perfect either so any help would be appreciated. :) Vanherrmann (talk) 23:53, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

Point of view
I've noticed that several of your edits are written in. However, as dictated by our style rules, articles on The Sims Wiki are written from a. It is important to remember, when writing articles or editing articles on the wiki, that you are not in the game but are outside the game, just as other players are also not in the game. So, when you write a section like "You can catch some rare frogs and fish in this area to add to your collections," remember that you, as the author of that section, are speaking to other players who cannot themselves actually capture rare frogs; their Sims can. So, when writing about actions that Sims can take (even if directed to do so by the player), write as if the actions are being performed by the Sims, not the players. The exception to this is when writing about something that a player can do but a Sim cannot. In any case, the use of the word "you" in articles on the wiki is almost universally discouraged.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 00:54, September 16, 2014 (UTC)
