<blockquote>The following files exist but are not embedded in any page. Please note that other web sites may link to a file with a direct URL, and so may still be listed here despite being in active use.</blockquote>
If you see an interesting image on this list which you feel could be used in an article, please insert the image there.

For starters it's a good idea to find articles about something you like in the games and add information to you think is missing. If there's something you're not sure about adding, try posting about it in the article talk page and others might be able to guide you.
 
At later task levels you will learn how to find articles in need of content.

These pages could use a hand and be freshened up a bit. They're bound to contain outdated templates or in need of a better image.

Before you attempt to categorize, it might be a good idea to look at similar pages to see what categories might be available. The [http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ACategoryTree&target=Browse&mode=categories&dotree=Show+tree CategoryTree] is also a good way to familiarize yourself with the categories. Finally if you find a category something might belong in, check the other pages in the category to see if you are correct.
 
Note that [[:Category:Browse]] is always uncategorized since it is the top category.
 
Our [[:Category:Copyright tags|license templates]] for images also add a [[:Category:Files by license|license category]] which removes the file from [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]]. The Sims Wiki has therefore created their own special page which lists files and videos without categories in addition to the license categories: [[The Sims Wiki:Special pages/uncategorized media|Special pages/uncategorized media]].
