### Long after The Sims 2

These events took place long after *The Sims 2*
* Founding of Oasis Landing
* Invention of Plumbots
* Birth of Emit Relevart
* Emit Relevart moves in to Oasis Landing

## Alternate timeline

In *The Sims 4* and *The Sims FreePlay* there is an alternate timeline, meaning that things of the original timeline worked out differently. This alternate timeline possibly was created through the use of time travel with the time machine in *The Sims 3: Ambitions* and the time portal in *The Sims 3: Into the Future*.

The events of *The Sims 4* are possibly set between the ones of *The Sims* and *The Sims 2* of the original timeline.

### Long before The Sims 4

These events took place long before *The Sims 4*
* Existence of Tyrannosaurus rex' in Mesozoic (70 Million years ago).
* Existence of the Omisca in Selvadorada.
* Existence of the Ottoman Sampire.
* The construction of the Ancient Ruins and The Bluffs, and the presence of their civilizations.
* Count Vladislaus Straud I founded Forgotten Hollow 200 years ago.
* The Von Haunt Estate burns down in a fire, killing Lord Bernard Escargot Shallot IV and Lady Mimsy Alcorn Shallot in 1898.
* The Married Couple, were after a local myth former a prince and his forbidden love, which have been enchanted and so be together forever.
* Giant sloths invade Princess Cordelia's kingdom, forcing the princess and the kingdom's residents to evacuate.
* Madre Cosecha helped the people of Selvadorada during a great famine. During that time, the Giant Omisca Cricket also became extinct.
* The construction of the mine which leads to the Forgotten Grotto.
* A mysterious shipwreck crashed on to Deadgrass Isle's shore, bringing cats and dogs to Brindleton Bay.

### Differences from the original timeline

* The Landgraab family moved to Oasis Springs and didn't stay in Sunset Valley until Malcolm moved to Moonlight Bay as a young adult.
* In The Sims Freeplay, 34 Sims come together and make the town of Simtown.
* The mother of Nina and Dina Caliente is Katrina Caliente and not Nighat Caliente, giving the Caliente twins a slightly different appearance because of their different genetical origin.
* Young adult Nina and Dina Caliente are living in Oasis Springs and not in Barnacle Bay.
* Holly Alto, Dustin Broke and Dirk Dreamer all reside in Del Sol Valley, instead of living in the neighborhoods from the games they originally appeared in. All of them also have major genetical differences from their original counterparts and are young adults, rather than teenagers.
* Bella Goth was not abducted by aliens.

1. ↑ 1,0 1,1 Reference is to the base game, as later neighborhoods/worlds for *The Sims 3* are not all set in the same time frame. Only Sunset Valley, Riverview, and Twinbrook are known to be set prior to both *The Sims* and *The Sims 2*.
2. ↑ It is likely that Aurora Skies, Monte Vista, and Midnight Hollow are set somewhere in this period.
3. ↑ It is likely that Lucky Palms is set near the beginning of this period.
