In line with the Island Paradise re-theme discussion, I've decided to start the discussion on what theme, if any, should take the IP theme's place.

First and foremost, we should decide how much longer we want to continue using the Island Paradise theme. We pretty much have two options as far as I can see: we keep the IP theme until we have a new theme to take its place, or we return to the standard theme from before. After that decision, we should begin to discuss the direction a late 2013 theme should take, if we even want to have another theme later this year.

For the sake of attempting to kill two birds with one stone, I've split the discussions up below. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 02:05, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Should the Island Paradise theme stay or go?

It's worth mentioning that some people in the original discussion felt that we should retire the old theme (more-or-less) by having new themes back-to-back; if we take that route, then we have to plan a new theme to take the IP theme's place, before we can ever get rid of the theme. However, in my personal opinion, we should return to the standard wiki theme. We had the Island Paradise theme up about a month before release, and we are now a month after release, so it seems like a good time to return to normal. Thoughts? -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 02:05, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

I do like the IP theme a lot, but going back the regular theme is fine either way. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 02:06, July 31, 2013 (UTC)
I think that we should revert to the standard theme. MoonWing Blame it on the Rain! 02:10, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

What should a new theme be about?

The way I see it, we have a couple options regarding a late 2013 theme. For one, we could go with an autumnal theme (similar to how our Christmas 2012 was winter-themed, and our current Island Paradise is somewhat summer-y). The Sims 3: Into the Future is also releasing in October, so it could be neat to see what The Sims Wiki would look like with a really sleek, modern look. Or, we can decide to not implement any theme at all. Or, anyone who has any ideas for a theme I didn't list here can suggest it. -- LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 02:05, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

I think that we should start by reverting to the original theme, so we can have some time to start planning for a new one. Then I think it might be a good idea to go for a Into the Future theme, and once that is retired it might be a good idea to get something going for Sims 4, even though it won't be released until late 2014 it might spark some more interest in the game?
