::I think it's a little bit exaggerated. I feel like the absence in TS4 should be mentioned, but it doesn't necessarily mean it should be mentioned in its own section, which is why I put it in the opening paragraph of the article in the first place. Also, Sim and family articles aren't the same as feature (object?) articles. It's fairly unnecessary to mention if a Sim or a family doesn't appear in any series.

:::If the information belongs on the article at all, then it doesn't belong in the lead section. The lead section is intended to be a brief summary, so to speak, of the article contents. Ideally, the lead section would not contain any information that wasn't already contained in the main body of the article itself. So including a piece of information in the lead without also including it in the main body is poor form. -- '''[[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>''' 16:44, October 16, 2014 (UTC)
::::Actually, I think the way it is now is fine. It lets readers know that the functions are still available even though the object is not. Also, if the article as a whole can be considered to trace the development of the newspaper, the TS4 section closes that out.
