Premade Sims: Place Sims 4 in the "main universe" timeline:

So... I've been working on a save file for about 2/3 years now. Its a fix/upgraded version of the premade Sims 4 worlds. In My save file all appearances, relationships, skills, clothing, etc are have been corrected. I also wanted to include more of the premade classic sims, like connecting Zoe Patel to the Patel family in Belladonna Cove (as Ramir and Ana's unborn baby, or maybe as Ramir younger/older sister, don't know yet).
The thing is that I want to share that for you all to enjoy, even more than I want to play myself. So I need some help to decide where the SIms 4 premades could fit in the old Sims 1/2/3 timeline before adding recreation of those classic premade sims. Here are the options:

50 years before Sunset Valley: According to my calculations, this is where Twinbrook and Moonlight Falls happens. Again, according to my calculation methods, its 23 years before Bridgeport and 33 years before Starlight Shores. So, you'll find recreation of characters from Twinbrook and Moonlight Falls, and younger versions of some characters from Sunset Valley, Bridgeport and Starlight Shores;

25 years before Sunset Valley: Its around the time or Bridgeport, but in this case you'll find older versions of characters from Twinbrook and Moonlight Falls, and younger characters from Sunset Valley and Starlight Shores;

During Sunset Valley: Here you'll find Sunset Valley characters among your Sims 4 ones. You'll find older versions of past ones mentioned above, maybe others from future, etc... (I don't want to promise too much cuz I'm limiting 7/8 families per world so that I don't overwork);

Between Sunset Valley and Sims 1: This option is here to match the Landgraabs from Oasis Springs, as Malcolm is older;

During Sims 1: 25 years after Sunset Valley, you'll of course find out what happened to those characters. Living along your SIms 4 favorites;

Between Sims 1 and 2: I wanted to include this one which matches with a teen Cassandra, living with her parents and her child brother Alex. Meaning... their Sims 4 version... Maybe I can also match the Caliente/Lothario from Sims 4 as teens or something;

During Sims 2: 25 years after Sims 1, you'll find characters from Sims 2 living here, and get to find what happened to other Sims 1 families like the roomis, Mashugas, etc;

25 years after Sims 2: here you'll find out what happened to Sims 2 households. This one matches with the young adults Dirk, Dustin and Pleasant twins. Here you could also find Alexander married to Cecilia Goth, and maybe a single Cassandra Lothario after her husband mysteryously disappeared (Time travel?! Riverview?! Someone?!);

Other: share your ideas.

Also, explain to me why you choose your option.

Remember: other worlds like Riverview, Shang Simla, Champs Les Sims, Al Simhara, Sims University, Hidden Springs, etc happen during SUnset Valley timeline, while som happend 25 years before, later etc... I won't promise anything, cuz its too much work for me and too many sims for a single save file. I'll keep working on updates for this save file, tho. So you can expect something from there.

I think that the current Sims 4 matches most-closely to this option. It would also be cool if you could create the Pleasant twins as children.

Before I click a poll option, are you asking us to vote on when we think TS4 occurs, or asking what characters we'd like you to create to be available for download and therefore decide when our version of TS4 is...if that makes sense?

@Alwe1507 not actually what we think Sims 4 occurs, because its set in an alternate universe. Itsm ore like... IF you could place it anywhere, where would you place it? And the choice would lead me to add some characters from other games/worlds matching what their ages should be in said time.

@Simtown15 yes, would be sweet to see them as kids. But I don't know if Alex would be a kid at the same time as them, I have to check my spreadsheet later. But would be cute to see him as a toddler too. hehe

Timeline set in an Alternative Universe in a Galaxy Far, Far Away after Sims 3. It's where all the weird, crazy, funny, unusual sims live.

@SERVERFRA haha I wasn't expecting this. But where would you place it if it were in the regular universe?

Actually, that's what I describe Sims 4. I really don't think it belongs in the regular Universe. It's way too out there.??
