The Sims series has over the years reintroduced old Sims and families many times, with some appearing in every mainline game, and even more. And with everything else, these Sims and families have their own unique infoboxes. However, as many of them appear in so many games, the amount of infoboxes that are stacked on top of each other on these articles doesn't really seem that great.

Lets take Bella Goth as an example. The Sims 4 infobox of her is way too down there and the amount of other infoboxes stacked on top of each other is starting to be a lot. And it makes the article text be even more squished to the left, since FANDOM already makes them enough squished with the sidebar they have. And in Don Lothario if the "contents" button is hidden, The Sims 4 infobox even breaks into the gallery territory.

So I just made a test in my sandbox of how the infoboxes could look like with tabbers. However, these normal tabbers don't seem to work that well. I mean, they work, but don't look that pretty. But as you see, it does look a bit better when the written text has more breathing room down there.

And even using div style="float: right" didn't fix the problem too well.

So I was thinking that are there any possibilities of actually making this idea work? It could be somewhat good, as the text wouldn't be so squished in some of the articles and the infoboxes of later games wouldn't be too far down. - SimDestroyer (talk) 16:39, June 25, 2019 (UTC)

I like the idea a lot and I think it would solve various problems and improve readability. Maybe it could be done like the MySims Wiki? For example, see a Character page on the MySims Wiki. —Gvaudoin 💬 17:00, June 25, 2019 (UTC)
