{{all|image=[[File:Discord-Logo_Wordmark-Color.svg|240px|link=The Sims Wiki:Discord]]|name=The Sims Wiki on Discord|caption= }}A couple weeks ago, we soft-launched a server on '''{{WP|Discord (software)|Discord}}''' for The Sims Wiki. Discord is a free-to-use real-time chat platform that features both text and voice chatting, image and file sharing, and several other neat features. The TSW Discord server is meant to be a place for members of the The Sims Wiki community to chat in real-time about both topics relevant and irrelevant to The Sims Wiki. Discord is not meant to replace our established "chat channels" - the [[TSW:IRC|IRC Channel]] or [[The Sims Wiki:Chat|wiki Chat]] - or to replace on-wiki discussions on article talk pages or the [[Forum:Index|Forums]]. However, having multiple off-wiki places to communicate, collaborate, and blow off a little steam can help to build a stronger community, and serve as a jumping-off point to on-wiki discussions or actions. If you're curious about Discord, or already have a Discord account, why not join us?

Right now, we're accepting new server members from the wiki editor community. If you've been editing the wiki for over a week (regardless of where you choose to edit), you are welcome on the server. Unlike IRC or Chat, there is a specific procedure set up to bring in new server users; this is to prevent spammers and trolls from joining the server. Be aware that the server does have a few basic rules of conduct - don't spam, don't attack others, keep discussions appropriate for general audiences.
