::::Yeah I think a new Simbio-start would be better too, as like you said, the family instances have been altered between the universes. What would you suggest calling The Sims 4 universe? So, do you agree with this change over the full page split?
 
::::'''Edit''' - I suppose we could call '''The Sims 4''' Universe something like '''New Universe'''? Or '''Current Universe'''? I was just saying Alternative as that's how the DEVs and the majority of people refer to it. - '''''[http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/User:JaseyJasee <font COLOR="red">Jasey</font><font COLOR="black">Jasee</font>]''''' ([[User talk:JaseyJasee|talk]]) 17:15, July 29, 2015 (UTC)
 
==Vote on how to proceed==
It seems this discussion has reached an impasse. There are several open questions about how we should proceed from here, but no clear consensus for any one solution, or for making a change to the current arrangement. I think a vote would be useful to help overcome this hurdle. The first question that needs to be answered is simply whether or not a change is even warranted in the way we present information about TS4 Sims and families; if no change is needed, then making additional discussions about the particular kinds of changes is pointless. To that end, I would like to start up a vote on how to proceed. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 03:44, August 15, 2015 (UTC)

*I'm not sure exactly what kind of system would be best, but I feel that there could be improvements to how we currently handle these cases. TS4-era information is sometimes directly contradictory to earlier information, so it's confusing and misleading to include both in the same place. Again, I'm not sure what change should be implemented, but I think a change of some sort is needed.

*Personally I think the '''<nowiki>{{Tab Template Test}}</nowiki>'''  would be the best way to separate The Sims 4 era from the previous era, and not a '''full page split'''. As like you said, some information contradicts previous information that has been established, and if The Sims Team decide to make The Sims 5, continuing in TS4 Universe then more information will probably start to contradict. I think it's best to set up a change now. User's may get confused about the contradicting information if no change is done, I've seen many times User's asking on Fan Games if it is real or not even though it explicity states it's a '''Fan Game''', so I'm pretty sure some Users must get confused about the differences in information on The Sims 4.<br />'''[[User:JaseyJasee|<font color="red">Jasey</font>]] [[User:JaseyJasee|<font color="black">Jasee</font>]]<sup> [[User:JaseyJasee|<font color="black">talk</font>]] • [[User:JaseyJasee|<font color="red">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/JaseyJasee|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 12:08, August 15, 2015 (UTC)
 
==Result==
The vote was generally in support of some changes to how we handle TS4 information, but there is no specific consensus as to how this will be done. As this thread is several months idle, it makes more sense to restart any discussion about the outcome of this vote and its implementation in a new thread or threads. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 17:27, January 12, 2016 (UTC)
