While working on splitting [[Goth home]] into separate articles, I came across an inconsistency with how the wiki handles articles about occupied lots. Namely, for lots in ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', we have an article for the lot itself, and another article for the family that lives in the lot. For example, the [[Burb family]] article states that they live at [[63 Gunther Goth Highway]] in ''The Sims: Unleashed'', and the [[Pleasant family]] page shows that they live at [[215 Sim Lane]] in ''The Sims 2''.
However, the article on the [[Bachelor family]] in ''The Sims 3'', for example, includes information about their lot, and there is no independent article written about the lot itself. This pattern seems to hold true for most households/families that appear in ''The Sims 3''. The information included about the lots themselves is usually very sparse, often only consisting of the lot's name, the lot address and the in-game description of the lot. Additionally, some pages about TS3 worlds list out only the unoccupied lots, while never listing the occupied ones, while other articles do list even the occupied lots, but provide no link to any page with additional information about those lots.
The way I can see it, we basically have two options. Either we can take the TS3 approach and consolidate the lot pages from TS and TS2 into the respective family or household articles, or we can take the TS/TS2 approach and create separate articles for occupied lots. If we choose to take the TS/TS2 approach, we'll also need to do further research into the lots, or else every article for those lots will be a stub.
What should we do? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 23:03, October 24, 2014 (UTC)

::::I'm not so sure about that. Normally, I'd merge the separate existing lot pages into the list of lots page. If the page isn't too expansive like [[223 Idlewild Street]], we can move the entire content to the list page; but if the page is quite long and detailed like [[165 Sim Lane]], it might be better to keep its own page, have it on the list page, and use {{T|Main}} to link it to the main page. But honestly, even a long page like 165 Sim Lane is sufficient to be moved to the list page altogether, IMO.

:::::Sounds good. I do think our focus should be first on getting the TS3 articles created, then on merging together for TS1 and TS2 lots as needed. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 00:38, April 22, 2015 (UTC)
