The Sims Wiki is not a social networking site

The Sims Wiki is a wiki, not a social networking site. The Sims Wiki focuses on information about The Sims series much more than its users. Users who only come here just to talk, chat, and edit their user pages are generally frowned upon.

The Sims Wiki is not a repository of The Sims games

The Sims Wiki does not provide The Sims games. It would be highly illegal for us to do so. The Sims Wiki also does not allow downloads/torrents of these games upon request. The closest it can come to is trailers and gameplay videos from YouTube.

The Sims Wiki is not a modification site

The Sims Wiki does not allow mods, downloads, and custom content to be posted on the main articles. All that is allowed are widely-known mods/custom content.

The Sims Wiki is not an advertisement service

The Sims Wiki does not allow users to advertise their sites or services on this wiki. However, The Sims-related websites (primarily fansites) are allowed on The Sims Wiki:Affiliates. Spam links, etc. are strictly intolerable on any Wikia wiki.

The Sims Wiki is not an official site

The Sims Wiki is in no way officially connected to Electronic Arts, Maxis, or any other stakeholders in the The Sims franchise. Users should not expect their contributions to be seen by anyone officially connected to The Sims series. The Sims Wiki only purports to be a general resource and community site about The Sims.
