::I don't know that this list of pros/cons is conclusive, it's just what occurs to me upon thinking about it. I'm not sure where I land on this idea. Ultimately, it is *a solution* to this long-standing issue, but I'm not sure that it is the *best solution*. -- '''[[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>''' 01:26, June 11, 2019 (UTC)
:::I like your list LiR, and what I can conclude of it is that having seperate pages would probably create a lot of clearity and a better wiki, but will be a hell of a job; mostly adding a lot of new pages. Although it might create a bit more chaos while in the process I do think in the end it will result in a clearer wiki than it is now. We also wouldn't have to fix inconsitencies with game orders (is TS3 above TS or TS2, is TS before TS console or not, etc.) The same Sim (or the Sim with the same name) will be mentioned on the page (eg: ''for Bella Goth in [[The Sims 4]], see [[Bella Goth (The Sims 4)]]'' or if it isn't sure a Sim with the same name is the same Sim or not: ''for the Sim with the same name in [[The Sims 4]], see [[Holly Alto (The Sims 4: Get Famous)]]''. This is technically something that's not new and has been done before (like me example with Holly, that 'issue' was just never resolved, or Sims with the same name in ''The Sims 2''. There could be a [[Bella Goth (disambiguation)]] page made, or simply a [[Bella Goth]] page with a list of all the Bellas (or both).
:::I wouldn't know how to solve your history issue, as I don't have enough knowledge of that, but seperating pages by era musn't be too difficult as most Sims that appear in multiple games have different infoboxes and info under ''The Sims 3'' subtitles. Again: it would take a lot of work, but I do think it might be worth it.
