Complete avoidance of spoilers on this wiki may be impossible, but in general, readers are safe if they avoid pages for individual Sims or characters. Pages on simology, neighborhoods, the games themselves, and gameplay elements do not contain spoilers; pages about individual families or Sims are very likely to contain plot details and spoiler information. There are thousands of pages on this wiki that do not contain any form of spoiler information, and there are hundreds of pages on the wiki that do. Please be knowledgeable of this as you browse, as neither this wiki or the editors here are responsible if you inadvertently spoil your gameplay experience.

For editors

Please do not mark information as a spoiler, or otherwise highlight information which may spoil the game. Do not remove credible information from an article, even if that information is a spoiler. Removal of spoilers simply because they are spoilers will result in disciplinary action taken in accordance with wiki policies. Editors should not shy away from adding this information, either. This wiki is a collection of information about the series, meaning that any and all relevant information is welcome, even information that would be classified as a spoiler.
