::One additional thing I've noticed which probably warrants some discussion is the use of gender pronouns (he/she, his/hers, him/her, etc) in the body of the article. The gender used in the text seems to match the gender that the Sim appears to be- do we want to keep this, or should we switch the pronouns to be gender neutral? -- '''[[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>''' 14:15, August 31, 2013 (UTC) |

::::Did you mean [[life stage]]? Personally, in that sense, I prefer if we use pronoun of what Sim appears to be. Using he/she, him/her, and his/her all the time sounds confusing to me. So, Sims like Melissa Sims should use female pronouns. I know this sounds subjective unlike our decision for the infobox parameters, but that's my opinion.
