Forum:Term to describe "regular" Sims

So, once upon a time, it was (apparently) decided that on the wiki, we wouldn't use the term 'human' to refer to "normal" Sims (i.e. Sims that are not an "occult" or other life state). I can't say exactly what the motivation for this was since I'm not sure where, if anywhere, a discussion of this exists.

I noticed today, however, that on Sim and the Simbio templates, that normal Sims are listed on the template as 'human.' I looked through the template code and it looks like it was all changed by Random Ranaun in December. He hasn't edited the wiki yet this year, and I don't really know what prompted him to change it in the first place. In this case, I'd rather not override what he did without figuring out whether or not we should.

So, how do we feel about this? When referring to non-"special" Sims, should we call them 'human' or 'Sim' or 'normal' or something else? --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 05:31, February 14, 2014 (UTC)
