The Sims Wiki:Monthly Question

Every month, The Sims Wiki hosts a Monthly Question, asking an open-ended question (or questions) to the community at large. The question is posted on the main page, and in a separate Monthly Question blog.

Past Monthly Questions

 * September 2014: Will you get The Sims 4? Why or why not?
 * August 2014: Is there any past expansion pack theme or idea that should not be re-introduced in The Sims 4?
 * July 2014: If you could choose a theme for the first Sims 4 expansion pack, what would it be?
 * June 2014: If you could add, change, or completely remove a single feature from The Sims 4, what would it be?
 * May 2014: Do you think that The Sims games should be made more difficult or less difficult in the future, and why?

PlumbBobs
To encourage productive and thoughtful answers, all users are allowed to award "upvote" PlumbBobs to other comments on the blog.

PlumbBobs can be awarded by:
 * 1) Selecting 'reply' to a comment made in response to the blog.
 * 2) Adding PlumbBob in the comment section (followed by a reply, if you wish to add one).
 * 3) Selecting 'post comment'.

One user may only award one PlumbBob to a comment, but a user may award as many PlumbBobs as they like to as many different comments as they prefer. There is no maximum limit on the number of PlumbBobs that any user can give or receive. Anonymous/unregistered users may give and receive PlumbBobs for their comments. There is no "negative" or "downvote" PlumbBob or "Anti-PlumbBob", and each "positive" PlumbBob is worth only one vote when tabulated. Unfortunately, due to the nature of blog post comments, only comments posted in direct response to the blog can be awarded a PlumbBob; you cannot give a PlumbBob to comments replying to other comments on the blog.

At the end of the month, the PlumbBobs awarded in the month's Monthly Question blog will be counted and totaled, and the most PlumbBobbed comments will be featured in the following month's Monthly Question blog. The authors of the top comments will also receive an award to post onto their user page. Anonymous/unregistered users may have their comments selected as top comments, but may not receive a user page award. For the purposes of selecting top comments and totaling PlumbBobs awarded, PlumbBobs added to a Monthly Question blog after the end of the month will not be counted.

Total PlumbBobs
The following is a list of all registered users who have received PlumbBobs, as well as how many PlumbBobs they have received and how many times their comment has won/tied for top comment. Only PlumbBobs awarded before the end of the month are counted here, and are only counted once a particular month has ended.

Question suggestions
Ultimately, the administrators will select the question to be asked each month. However, if you have any suggestions for possible questions, you can add them here and they may be selected for use as a future Monthly Question.


 * If you had the option of choosing whichever engine The Sims 4 would run on, which would it be? And why? Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 03:47, June 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you often torture your Sims? If yes, what method do you torture them? If not, why?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:42, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * What do you think about the social media integration in the game, such as The Sims 4 and The Sims 3: Showtime? Should the feature be improved or scrapped entirely? Why?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:03, July 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * In your opinion, what would you say is the best feature in The Sims, as a whole? Beds (talk - blog ) 15:33, August 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * How many affairs can your romance Sim commit (without cheats and hacks) without being caught? --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:44, October 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * The basis of this Monthly Question is so that users participate by describing their answers or opinions on an open-ended question. Having a "how many" or a "yes/no" question isn't qualified for the Monthly Question.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  08:39, October 10, 2014 (UTC)
