::::::@LiR: I'm not sure if EA limits the use of "sim"/"Sim" to life state context only. As I said, EA tends to capitalize most terms in the game, but not always. Maxis-created life states would be Sim, Plumbot, Simbot, Servo, and PlantSims. I might favor this, but why is it only bound to life state context?
::::::@WH: I realized that "Alexander the Great" counts as a proper name, and therefore, the "Great" has to be capitalized. Maybe this is applicable to TS1 NPCs as well? I'm really not sure about that either. I've been researching a bit about proper name, and there's no explanation about "Alexander the Great" example. Or maybe it's only bound to adjective and not a noun? Because according to my reference, "Bill de Blasio, mayor of New York City" has the "mayor" in lowercase, unless the word is written before the name. English is confusing.

{{od|::::::}}Bumping. I don't want the discussion to just dry up without any conclusion here. After all, this is about standardization. I see that the topic has drifted to whether we should capitalize "Sim," which expanded to life states, instead of capitalization in whole.
I notice that participants here support that TSW adopts a standard for capitalization, but only argues about specific points (TS1 NPC names, "Sim"). I'd like to hold off these questionable points for now and focus on the rest. I'm afraid some editors are reluctant to participate because they don't know what argument to say even though they agree / disagree. Should we start a voting system rather than consensus?
Should we implement the standards to [[TSW:MOS]]?
