Recently, having it undone, I saw that someone had added categories for a Sim's aspiration. I was wondering if we could change up the {{Sim}} templates, add some template to get a category for the aspiration, and add that on the template?

I'm not sure why this hasn't already occurred, but if not this is a quick fix. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 13:05, May 18, 2018 (UTC)

Probably involves editing or adding an auxiliary template somewhere, and creating all of the relevant category pages. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 03:26, May 19, 2018 (UTC).
I would like categories with a Sims aspiration. Cheseburgermac (talk) 11:44, May 19, 2018 (UTC)
It's strange that this hasn't already been done. My guess is that it wouldn't be too terribly difficult to build this functionality into {{Sim}} and {{Infobox Sim}}. I'll look into it and report back. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog · contribs 22:18, May 22, 2018 (UTC)
So I kinda dropped the ball here and forgot to look into this issue earlier. But I've taken a look now.
I've edited {{Infobox Sim}} and {{Infobox Sim4}} to allow for auto-categorizing based on aspiration. The reason it wasn't doing it before is an interesting one but unfortunately I don't have time at this exact moment to explain it. Just know that we're going to have to create new categories for each of the aspirations in both TS2 and TS4, for both canon and fanon pages. This is because I've re-worded the reference to the categories, so the generic name for aspiration categories will now be "Category:Sims who have the <aspiration> aspiration." This doesn't "break" anything for TS4 Sims, since they didn't have aspiration categories to begin with, but all TS2 Sims have been recategorized. Again, there's a reason for this but I'm running late and I can't explain it at the moment. -- LostInRiverview talk · blog · contribs 18:36, August 12, 2018 (UTC)
