The Sims Wiki was founded on February 6, 2005, five years after the release of ''[[The Sims]]'' and a month before the release of ''[[The Sims 2: University]]''. The wiki grew over time, gathering information about the games that had been released up to that point. Growth increased after the release of ''[[The Sims 3]]'' in 2009, and with the debut of the ''Game Guide'' (formerly ''Tutorial'') namespace in 2011. Despite having thousands of articles about the games and everything in them, the work of expanding and improving the wiki is never over.

The Sims Wiki has a dedicated area for fan-created stories and Sims, called the ''Fanon Namespace''. The creation of this namespace was the result of many discussions over a two year period, ending in the [[The_Sims_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal/Archive_11#Merge_with_The_Sims_Fanon_Wiki|creation of the Fanon Namespace]] in 2011. Today, there are thousands of fanon articles written by hundreds of individual authors, with a wide range of subjects and stories.

Welcome to The Sims Wiki

The Sims Wiki (abbreviated TSW) is a wiki about The Sims series. We are working to build a comprehensive and collaborative encyclopedia that thoroughly documents all the games within The Sims series. The wiki can be edited by anyone, and we are always looking for new volunteers to help build our database and grow our community of editors and fans of the series.

History

See also: The Sims Wiki:History

The Sims Wiki was founded on February 6, 2005, five years after the release of The Sims and a month before the release of The Sims 2: University. The wiki grew over time, gathering information about the games that had been released up to that point. Growth increased after the release of The Sims 3 in 2009, and with the debut of the Game Guide (formerly Tutorial) namespace in 2011. Despite having thousands of articles about the games and everything in them, the work of expanding and improving the wiki is never over.

The Sims Wiki has a dedicated area for fan-created stories and Sims, called the Fanon Namespace. The creation of this namespace was the result of many discussions over a two year period, ending in the creation of the Fanon Namespace in 2011. Today, there are thousands of fanon articles written by hundreds of individual authors, with a wide range of subjects and stories.
