Should the genie be counted as a creature, considering you can't control him as a sim? 69.136.91.226 ( talk) 23:12, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I was just wondering whether we should include, in the relevant sections, all the additions made by the EP's. For example in needs should we put how Plant People's (from Seasons) needs are affected? I have noticed that we have done this with a few sections, such as Relationships (information from Nightlife), but should we do it for all?
If you think so then I will begin immediately to update all the sections. MasterOfHisOwnDomain ( talk) 11:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Image:Sim Family Watching T.V..jpg. Does it violate any rules of uploading photos to Wikipedia? Because, surely EA doesn't care that Sims videos are constantly being published on YouTube, Photobucket, blogs, etc. I created this picture, but didn't ask EA if the picture was okay, because they never listen to my questions. If it does violate any rules, please delete it. I have no idea how to delete articles.
Why this picture is a good one.
I have another picture of the same scene, but it has a few things cut out of the shot. Tell me if you'd rather see that one, or just delete this scene and never bring it up again. Rj1020 ( talk) 06:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Is it okay to add the Sims Resource (www.thesimsresource.com) to the list, as it contains quite a lot of custom content and tutorials? Thanks. -- Marianian ( talk) 14:04, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Excuse me, but are websites the only valid reference for information? It seems to me that if an EA product ( Free Time) comes with information on a new product, that should be a valid reference. The information on the upcoming Apartments expansion was removed because it isn't mentioned on their website. Who knows why EA hasn't announced it on their website yet? But they did announce it in their latest expansion. I understand a Sims resource site isn't reliable. But can't we just use the flyer as a ref and use the resource site for a visual until EA announces it on their site? Or is the image just a Photoshop job? — Frecklefσσt | Talk 17:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Who keeps adding landlord as the creature? I remember from and old thread on thesims2.ea.com's bbs from EA games that there isn't going to be landlords as a creature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.121.0.194 ( talk) 18:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
The flyer does not mention the landlord as an NPC, all it says is that "Sims discover apartment living - from getting along with new neighbors to meddle-some landlords". While landlord(s) may be an NPC, they may also be a new player-controlled interaction .... let's leave the speculation out until EA confirms one way or another. Article reverted to TBA. Fanx ( talk) 22:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
"Getting along with … meddle-some landlords" implies that they will not be playable Sims. The flyer never mentions the possibility of controlling a landlord. — C. Raleigh ( talk) 17:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I just added the listed developer for each EP/SP because it's been causing quite a frenzy on the BBS and other sites about when the quality declined in relation to when Maxis stopped being the developer. I added this based on the links below and what I've also read elsewhere, notably about Maxis being the developer for Apartment Life, and if anyone has any other sources which content mine lets sort it out here.

where is the source? I think we should remove this from sims2 wiki. There`s no confirmation taken from EA. Only from rumors they said 203.99.237.138 ( talk) 05:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking about putting in more information about the careers in the Sims 2 and expansions but I am not quite sure which sources are recommended and which ones are not. Also, I could shorten the section about careers and add a new article that lists all of the careers in the Sims 2 and expansion packs and talks about not only the careers in general but gives a little bit of info on each career tract.

Removing this from the article: "When the evil witch comes, talk to it. But it might poo all over the floor, then explode into millions of pieces. Collect the pieces, and you'll get a prize. (Hint: It's more poo on the floor!)"
until someone gets a creditable source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.190.50.210 ( talk) 01:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Should we include a new section about all the game designers and engineers and everybody who currently works for The Sims? We can simply get the info in the Credits section in the game. 75.49.7.84 ( talk) 23:31, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Seeing as how many of the collections include more than 60 items, which is the amount of items included in one stuff pack, I think we should add them back to the article. Perhaps under the add-ons section. -- Funnykidrian ( talk) 06:21, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Should something about the homebrew mods used for teen pregnancy have some sort of reference (if not briefly covered) as if it was included in the games code, it would be a world wide controversy (remember Hot Coffee?). UnknownThing ( talk) 21:38, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
I have beefed up the Game Customization section as I felt it was a bit lacking in info. It now has more information about the different methods and types of custom content, and about the paysite vs. free site debate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greenhplover ( talk • contribs) 06:54, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
It's not meant to be used as an argument against paysites, or proof that paysites are illegal, it's just meant to verify what the article says the opponents' argument against paysites is. Where in the rules does it say that that type of source is not allowed? I'm putting it back up until you or I can find that. Greenhplover ( talk) 01:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
