I have been thinking about it for a bit recently, and I have actually changed my mind on what I said earlier. It might be interesting to look into seperating Sim pages either by era (all The Sims 1 + consoles, TS2,TSS + consoles etc.) or by game. Infoboxes tent to make pages really long while actual text on that page doesn't fill the page at all. I'm thinking of wikis/fandoms like ''[[w:c:walkingdead:The_Walking_Dead_Wiki|The Walking Dead Wiki]]'' where they have seperate pages for the same people, but one is for the comics, one is for the tv series, one is for the video game, etc. I feel like this might be valuable for some Sims too, especially since the The Sims 4 universe shakes some things up. This would also solve A LOT of "are these Sims/families the same Sim/family or not"-problems. Thoughts?

:I think that's a really great idea. If we have separate pages for the Get Famous versions of Dustin Broke, Holly Alto, and Dirk Dreamer, I see no reason why all Sims can't also have pages separated by game; even if they are obviously intended to be the same Sim.
:Another reason I think this is because, as Gvaudoin pointed out, the timeline of the first three Sims games has countless inconsistencies; if you ask me, they could very well all be an "alternate universe" from each other. I really don't understand why TS4 is considered a special case. [[User:Mariaw|Mariaw]] ([[User talk:Mariaw|talk]]) 23:21, June 10, 2019 (UTC)
