Uh oh, it seems that the Goths aren't the only ones returning in the series. At least [[Nancy Landgraab]], [[Dina Caliente]], and [[Don Lothario]] (and probably the Pleasants as ThePeculiarMe pointed out earlier) will return in completely different appearances. Who is that even Katrina Caliente? How are we going to relate it with the {{T|Simbio-start}} template that lists close familial relationships with the Sim? If Katrina is Dina's sister, will we add her there? But Katrina is supposed to be a sister from an alternate universe...

:Katrina looks older than Dina, though. What if she's their mother? ''(Even though her mother's name was [[Nighat Caliente|Nighat]] in the TS2-verse, but whatever)'' but Dina seems to be a teen and Katrina an Adult\middleaged. She could still be their older sister, though. ''(Actually, this "Katrina" and the Nighat in TS2 look a lot alike, so i guess that, maybe in the TS4-verse her name just was Katrina instead of Nighat.) ''
 
:Maybe we could have an article named Nighat Caliente (TS2)\Katrina Caliente (TS4). Or maybe we could link both as Dina\Nina's mother using the same tags used for what object is in each expansion pack. [[Special:Contributions/78.15.35.105|78.15.35.105]] ([[User talk:78.15.35.105|talk]]) 06:02, July 20, 2014 (UTC)
::Would it be possible to get rid of {{t|Simbio-start}}? I mean, the information in that part of the biography could be transferred to the individual game bio templates, right? This would be good for when/if Maxis chooses to screw up relationships between Sims. It would also work for Sims that appear in the first three games; take for example Mortimer Goth, who in TS3 is unmarried with living parents, in TS1 has a wife, a daughter, and living parents, and in TS3 has a missing wife, two children and deceased parents. Each bio template would have game-accurate familial relationship information. Really, is there much in Simbio-start that couldn't be put into the other templates? - '''[[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>''' 06:40, July 20, 2014 (UTC)
 
:::I'm thinking the same way too. {{T|Simbio-start}} reflects inaccurate relationships. For example, it's very confusing what to put up on [[Titania Summerdream]]'s relationship to [[Oberon Summerdream]] since she's married to him in TS3 (prequel) but unmarried in TS2 (sequel). This is the developer's oversight, but I'm pretty sure there'll be more like this.
 
:::I'm starting to think that using the tabview like LiR suggested. We should get rid of Simbio templates and replace them with the regular Sim templates. Inside each subpage is the infobox template, biography, and Simology information, while outside the tabview, we could write the overview of the Sim (on the top), trivia, and gallery (on the bottom).
 
:::I also think that it doesn't matter whether a subpage is lengthy or not anymore, so disregard my earlier opinion. I believe most characters in ''MySims'' wiki are organized this way; the same character reappears in different games, so they split them into subpages.
