:In terms of your second point, it ''does'' seem to detract a little bit from the title of this thread (which is to discuss whether object recolours should be displayed in infoboxes or not), but I certainly do agree with having some standard for images in object infoboxes. We already have a ''de facto'' standard for Sim articles in showcasing the Sim's portrait in the infobox. Although object images don't tend to come along as nicely or easily (from what I hear, object thumbnails are of pitifully small size), I think we can get away with in-game screenshots, provided that the background is neutral in some sense, such as by using an empty lawn or a simple wall that isn't too distracting (I don't think it's necessary to have a solid-colour background; that would have to be added in later on and is just more work). I should note that I ''have'' used wall coverings in object images before, such as those in the [//sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Vending_machine&oldid=854689#The_Sims_2:_Apartment_Life vending machine] article. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 15:15, January 24, 2019 (UTC)
::You're right, I think I got a bit carried away in terms of discussing an overall standard to object infobox images, instead of limiting it just to the first issue of the recolor images/tabbers. I think both are good discussions to have, and probably relevant to each other, so I'd be more inclined to just rename this thread accordingly. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</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>''' 16:05, January 24, 2019 (UTC)
 
::: I express my thoughts and mix feelings on discord, so instead - I wanna add on k6ka opinion about regarding quality of pictures of showcasing object regardless of recolor (doesn't necessary have to be default looking). I would advice users to take snaps of objects that they already used and purchased in existing households, so the pictures come more naturally than left screenshoted in an empty grass yard or in front of a single wall. Or a build lot specifically for object shot with a 'set' of a room prop. [[User:DrakonoSkerdikas|DrakonoSkerdikas]] ([[User talk:DrakonoSkerdikas|talk]]) 16:29, January 24, 2019 (UTC)
