Like I've already explained in my "stay tuned" page, I was going to take notes of all the lore details from each game, one at a time exclusively and then compare them between each game to find and fix any lore discrepancies.
I am posting my notes onto this blog so that when I do compare the lore and make my own lore edits for the downloadable save, I want the community to be able to follow and understand so that if anyone does want to share input, you can!
This will be a long list, so I've added 🔸️(if there's a lore issue) and🔹️(if another game completed the information without issue) icons to indicate where you can scroll to the end and see what the questions or notes about this information is.
I will be doing this for sims 2, 3 and 4. This is exclusively sims 1 lore information.
*Sims do not have listed eye colors in the sims 1*
If anything appears to be missing, let me know!
EDIT: simswiki is a reference to the Sims Wiki on Fandom. I used "simswiki" to be faster but forgot there are multiple websites. Sorry for any confusion!!

Tiffany's last name is from Sims 2
Sims 2 was used to confirm Mrs. Crumplebottom, the NPC and Cornelia Goth are sisters in Sims 1.
Bella's last name would be Bachelor as well
Alexander Goth doesn't appear until Sims 2
Ruby Broke doesn't appear until Sims 3
Lou Thanasia doesn't appear until Sims 2
Betty's last name is from Sims 2
Betty is believed to also be Eliza from the sims 4, and that Bob and Eliza Pancakes are a reference to old lore
Diane's last name is from Sims 2
Both roomies appear in Sims 2 IKEA promos
Michael appears to be coming home from college, still wearing his uni sweater, while Bella is already married with a daughter (Cassandra) who seems at least five. This should imply that he is either younger than Bella, or at least similar ages. However, he appears to have passed away from old age before Sims 2, while Bella is still an adult.
Johnny Burbs genetics do not fully match his parents. This could be explained away by grandparents genetics, but since they aren't listed in Sims 1, we had to make note of it
Claire's legal or birth last name does not have to be Charming. She is the only sim with the last name, and it's completely possible she changed it
Mortimer and Bella are supposed to be the same age, but in the sims 2, he appears to be much older than her. This may be about his testing on the elixir of life so it may not be a discrepancy if explained correctly
The ghosts in the Goth Family Graveyard have certian genetics which make it entirely possible for some of them to be Bella's Bachelor relatives instead of Mortimer's, and the genetics will have to be compared to see who is most likely to be who
"Mama" is obviously not her real name and Hick itself may not be her maiden name.
Not only is Elden's father not mentioned, Elden has a different hair color than "mama", implying his father has black hair
Ulysses is a Greek name and although no Hatfield ancestors are known, it may be possible to tie them back to the Thebes family (royalty before the migration here)
Ruby isn't "actually" pregnant, since pregnancy isn't a real game mechanic, but she should have a 4th child between the sims 1 and 2 time jump
Edward Jones is theorized to be the unborn child of Aiden and Hannah Jones in sims 3, but his son Bobby is also theorized to be the grandson of Robert Jones, who has a son Edward Jones. The issue is the child Edward is blonde whereas sims 1 Edward is a redhead like Aiden/Hannah would be. Since sims 3 towns are NOT all on the same timeframe, it is possible this is all one big family and some of them are cousins or siblings. More information in Sims 3 genetics will make the solution more obvious
Barbara Jones has no maiden name recorded, however, it is implied she is the Twin Sister of Julia Valentino, meaning they would both have the same maiden names
Tara Kat is an adult in the Sims 2 but doesn't appear as Ginia's daughter during Sims 1 so is probably a niece, and if they shared a last name, Tara's father should be Ginia's brother
MAHUIZOH is an Aztec name and Zaghawa are a people of Sudan, Africa so these many be Sims with ancestry from Wanmani Island (these are two very different real life locations but in castaways, native Sims had a vary of features between tan medium and dark)
Eliza and Bob pancakes are probably a reference but not exact
Chris and Melissa are not related but should both have last names/ancestry
Snooty Patooty probably isn't Chip's actual last name, and with his blonde hair and trust fund, it's possible he could be a Landgraab?
Chip is assumed to also be Chip the Dancer
Buffy is said to be in the same society clubs as Cornelia Goth, which is more evidence they are rich / Landgraabs???
Buffy dresses very similar to Bella Goth, and same skin, could she be a relative ?
Julia Valentino is probably identical twins with Barbara Jones .
