message: I still think it needs work, and to avoid an edit war, I bringing it here. This is my current proposal for the wording:
*Sims with high Creativity skill can now paint art based on the user's own image collection.
I tried to make it used the same tone, etc, of the othere entries (which it should), with input from other versions on the page. Please comment. — Jaxad0127 16:31, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anybody cite an official reference for the release date of this game? My Googling has resulted in about a dozen different sites that show a dozen different release dates. Can anybody officially confirm what date it actually was released? - Vaelor 05:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Something needs to be done about the infobox. It looks oddly shapen or something. Does anyone know if its possible to change the width of it at all? i.e. force it to be slightly wider?--Crossmr 20:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: GBA/DS

message: Would anyone be interested in helping find a good source to show that the Nintendo DS version is the most popular version in Europe, and that it's most popular on the DS in North America (I can't confirm that it's more popular than the PC version, but I have data that shows it sold best, but I can't release it). - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The best (and likely only thing) you can do is show sales records. That doesn't necessarily indicate its the most widely played, just that a lot of people bought it (who could potentially not like it which doesn't make it popular)--Crossmr 14:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: For it to exceed sales of the PC version is a pretty noticeable thing; even if it's not as good, for the best-selling version to be not-a-PC version is definitely abnormal. In all likelihood, the DS version sold because of the immense popularity of Nintendogs, which has a 50% attach rate on the DS (5 million copies to the DS' ten million sold), so I doubt that people bought it looking for a good Sims game, you know? - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Which is opinion. Regardless of what we think we need verifiable and reliable sources to making claims in the article.--Crossmr 00:40, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And "who could potentially not like it which doesn't make it popular" isn't? I never said "put in this statement about the DS version", I said I wanted to look up information that may point to the idea that the DS version is more popular. - A Link to the Past (talk) 03:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said, to make a claim of popularity you need something to back that up. Pure sales figures can be used to say that it sold well or sold better than TS2: Pets, but to make a claim as to whether or not its more popular you're going to need additional data. As far as looking it up, I'd say if that kind of data was available you would find it on a site like Gamespot.--Crossmr 23:29, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, and that's why I'm LOOKING up data to back me up. - A Link to the Past (talk) 19:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Upon further investigation, this article barely even acknowledges the existence of console or hanheld versions besides the infobox and category; Hell, outside of categories and the infobox, their existence is treated as trivial information. - A Link to the Past (talk) 07:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Users experienced a lot of problems with this expansion: installation often caused the game to stop recognizing other EPs, and even the patch created new problems. Is this relevant to the article?

message: In the PS2 version of the game, is it still possible for Sims to age and die? It's just that I have been attempting to 'speed up' the process with fire (Don't judge me), and no Sims are killed by the flames. I have also tried to starve Sims, but they simply keep collapsing, and the Grim Reaper does not come. Also, can Sims have children in the PS2 version of the game? --Merco 17:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

message: What would be a good source? Is a Sims fan site good enough or what? Knowitall (talk) 21:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, fan sites are self-published and fail WP:V. To source this you'd need something from a reliable source, like a game review, or another article written on the expansion pack. Blogs, forums, fansites have only been considered reliable in the narrow circumstance that the subject of the article has written those items.--Crossmr (talk) 21:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Why was there no Xbox port? Because support for the xbox ran up to the end of 2006, and there were aslo PS2 and GameCube ports, so this was not a next gen project, if someone could answer this it would help. Thanks, mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 15:48, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Dunno if anyone knows why there was no Xbox port, so if someone comes across this talk page edit, please tell me if you know, if you don't tell me overwise, cos I wanna know if no one knows. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 11:50, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

text: User 71.8.17.110, is that question related to the concurrent post, Why was there no Xbox port? mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 09:20, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

text: The Xbox 360 had been out for almost a year by the time the game came out. Development of the game across all platforms probably started in the months just after the 360 was released, when developer support dropped sharply in favor of the new console. Because of that it may have not been seen as profitable enough to develop and release a version for the original Xbox. PS2 and GC versions were released because their successor consoles had not been released yet and they still had full support from developers. Misterkillboy (talk) 07:10, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
