In the lower left, next to the currently active sim's head, there is a row with the other sims of the household, to switch to them. In this case two humans, a dog and a horse:https://64.media.tumblr.com/a0b4ec321f38371b24cffd14014d8c3c/abe68ff23206c1b0-d1/s640x960/514567b7556c5ab855eea562f65e24c916c42268.pnjWhat is this row called? Sim picker? Sim bar? Sim chooser? Sim head row? Guilottine queue?I'm primarily looking for the english term, but if someone knew the german one, that would a bonus.

Let me look into lessons how it's officially called in The Sims 4 (as The Sims 2's is called differently in the manual).Well, I had to look up the old lessons, but it is called The Skewer (or Sim Skewer).

Thank you!(Looks like my guilottine joke wasn't that far off :o )

I'm trying to remember if I ever knew what to call that row... I think I never did. But Sim Chooser sounds about right, that's the term I will use from now on.It's also interesting that the need to call the row something came up only now (day one player here). I had posted a screenshot and wanted to add "The contains a spoiler", only to realize that I had no idea what to call it.

I think I've gone more towards Sim Bar or Sim Chooser in my own head. I've got to say, Sim Skewer sounds really weird. I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to it that way.Guillotine Queue has got to be my favorite, though. Even if it is a joke, it is quite illustrative of what to look for. Where's the row of heads... oh, there it is!

Yeah, no wonder it seems to be omitted from the new lessons.

Decided to also look into The Sims 2's manual. It's called Sim Chooser back there. Still interesting though.

I've never really thought about what it was called. I've never called it anything (TS2, TS3, or TS4). Portrait panel seems fitting though.

Never thought about it. Sim panel, portrait panel or sim chooser all seem fitting. Skewer sounds odd, or maybe my English is not good enough to understand this one completely.

guillotine queue made me laugh.
