Protect?
Just in case of high traffic, would this page be semi-protected? Just sort of anticipation.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:49, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * There haven't been any problems so far, so I'd say no. Not until it becomes an issue. Besides, there are enough people watching the page right now to make sure any vandalism that does take place can be quickly fixed. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 15:50, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I honestly find pre-emptive page protection on new entries to be severely overused. I'm vehemently opposed to protecting the page until it becomes a last resort, and I mean a last resort. 15:53, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I see your point. I thought I had one step ahead in the rumor page by locking it; maybe you could undo it if necessary. I do hope we have enough people to look after the page though. Sometimes anons are just slick.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:00, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it should be protected.  Cavia (  wheek  •   speak  ) 16:58, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Why? --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 16:59, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * This? Maybe I'm just judging to early, but it could be protected so that only registered users can edit it.  Cavia (  wheek  •   speak  ) 17:01, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * One incident of vandalism along with 33 good edits, some by unregistered users, is not a good reason to semi-protect a page. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 17:02, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Compound onto that, the purpose of a wiki is so that anyone can edit it and stuff like that is almost always expected. Pre-emptively protecting a page based on one little thing breaks that purpose. 17:04, May 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * I see that I overreacted. I've been waiting for this the entire day, I'm guess I'm too tired. e.e  Cavia (  wheek  •   speak  ) 17:06, May 6, 2013 (UTC)

Oh Sims, I think you have finally broken me.

But Since I am a mindslave to you, I guess I'm buying it anyway v.v

Theme Color
Okay, so...

Every game era has their own theme color. The theme color is used for Sim's biography template, game template, neighborhood template, and many others. The color themes are the following:
 * 1) The Sims: Red
 * 2) The Sims 2: Blue
 * 3) The Sims 3: Green
 * 4) The Urbz: Orange
 * 5) The Sims Medieval: Yellow
 * 6) The Sims Social: Light Blue

Does anyone have a suggestion for the The Sims 4 color theme? Since the logo involves both blue and green, we can make the color theme to have mixture of lighter blue and green. Otherwise, we can also go with the traditional one-color theme. Ideas?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:53, May 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * Why don't we give it light blue? By the time TS4 is out Sim Social will be long gone. --DentSig.png Talk 15:56, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Even though it will be shut down, it doesn't mean the game will be gone to oblivion. The article will be still there even if it's shut down, thus the color will still be used.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:14, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it would be nice if it was a mixed blue-green color, like a dark shade of turquoise. Either way if that doesn't suit well, then a dark green would probably suit the bill too. HanaGoth96 ( Neigh...? ) 16:18, May 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I would agree with a mix between green and blue, as The Sims 2 is definetly blue and The Sims 3 is definetly green. I think it's more than suitable to have a mix between the used green and blue in the given logo from The Sims 4.  Tiezel     (talk)     curious?   16:40, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * We could darken the blue used on TS2 pages/templates, then use a light blue for TS4. Our themes in the past have been single-colored, so I don't know if it would be a good idea to vary from that too much. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 16:45, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * For fun I messed around with the template used on my wiki (see it here) just to see if mixing colours would work.. Now the bigger part is green, but this could also be blue, and then the header would be green. I tried to use the colours used in the logo, and luckily it has a nice dark/light balance in it.  Tiezel     (talk)     curious?   19:30, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking about green border and blue inner box, not a blend of blue and green actually. Thanks for giving a preview though.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:48, May 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * When I saw this, I assumed purple had been suggested. Why not? It's awesome! Purple forever! Me!-Bwahaha! 21:50, May 21, 2013 (UTC)Hurshbr


 * I think either we are going to have to reuse a color. I don't think purple is quite accurate. Maybe a gray and dark blue?  Tyscott12 (talk) 03:32, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * To be fair, red as the colour for The Sims 1 isn't that accurate either. I think purple would look great.Turbofrog (talk) 03:40, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Good point. Purple? Well I'm thinking about changing The Sims Social to purple and reserve sky blue for The Sims 4. How about that?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:15, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ehhh... I think that Sky Blue suits The Sims Social. I'm kind of anal when it comes to that sort of stuff.
 * ~You can take my pride, but not my potatoesTurbofrog (talk)

(Resetting indent) DEFINITELY PURPLE it is one of my favorite colors. I don't think the sky blue would work out, maybe a light purple like lilac or something like a dark orchid. 21:46, July 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * You're kind of what, Turbofrog?


 * I'm still not sure about purple though. But that's just me.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  07:57, July 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think a light purple would go but a darker one might look nice, maybe the colour of the favourite, Spiceberry might look quite nice Chunkyheels (talk ) 08:00, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't mind a purple/spiceberry colour. I had this idea of a silvery kind of colour. The pagecover picture reminded me of a sleek, edgy silver. :D ~ Waikikamukow  ( Anyone wanna chat? ) 08:02, July 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's just an idea but we could make a Poll like we did when Island Paradise came out and put it on the homepage to decide and put certain colours up that have been suggested here and a few others. Chunkyheels (talk ) 08:14, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * We could as LiR for that. He's in charge for the poll.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  08:41, July 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just to clarify, when I used the word "anal", I meant sort of stuck up. I didn't mean anything about sexual acts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Turbofrog (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~


 * I don't mind the idea of a poll, but I think people may just vote for their favourite colour and not necessarily is the best theme colour. That's the only criticism I have of the idea, though. And don't worry TurboFrog, I understood what you meant, at least. :p ~ Waikikamukow  ( Anyone wanna chat? ) 07:52, July 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well of course, Turbofrog. :p I was just kidding. It just sounded odd.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  09:38, July 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Maybe someone should set up a poll for colours... I'll be happy to do that on here, if you'd like. Turbofrog (talk) 08:40, July 27, 2013 (UTC) You can take my pride, but not my potatoes.

Graphics
I saw the new pictures. Somebody please tell me that those weren't taken on a computer. I really hope those aren't the graphics on a computer, just a Nintendo or something. Me!-Bwahaha! 21:53, May 21, 2013 (UTC)Hurshbr
 * It's just concept art. The actual game and the Sims in it will probably look vastly different than what they appear to be now. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 22:01, May 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Phew! That's good. [[File:Feeling Purple smiley.png]] Wow, that's a large face. Me!-Bwahaha! 22:08, May 21, 2013 (UTC)Hurshbr

Get rid of that fake box art please!!!

--84.26.70.101 (talk) 15:11, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Dude, thats not fake boxart. If you had a brain and did research, you would know that. Its from EA origins preorder page, obviously proving its real. Moron. 216.176.21.111 (talk) 15:06, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Watch your word, there's no need to be rude. Besides you can't specify which cover is fake, you can't prove if that would be the final version of the cover. Which is why it's captioned "placeholder cover" instead of "fake cover." We definitely won't showcase a fake, user-made cover.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:14, June 2, 2013 (UTC)
