Interesting...
'''Send your Sims to a friend’s game and have your friend’s Sim come to your game with the new Simport feature! '''

This will be interesting. ;-) Alex9400 | TALK with me. I ♥ ♦³ :-) 16:47, December 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. ._. -ThomasWikia 10:33, December 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe, I'd rather see the rabbit holes be removed, or give us more streets/shops/malls/places to visit. Buffyfan123 03:45, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Theme?
Is there anyone who knows what theme The Sims 3: Showtime will have?
 * The theme is rising to fame, like in The Sims: Superstar. 18:29, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

Linux?
From this link, I found out that Linux is included at the platform. Does that mean Showtime is releasing for Linux users? But yet, The Sims 3 do not include Linux. Is there a mishap? Please clarify. Thanks. ThomasWikia 04:50, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is a complete mislap, and it only got the Windows OS correctly. The Sims 3 only runs smoothly on Snow Leopard, since it has issues with Lion and Leopard is just vintage, it never supported tiger. And the term "Linux" is way too general. But then again, let's wait and see. 18:29, December 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's a mistake on Amazon's part. There's no way EA would start supporting Linux in the middle of The Sims 3's life. Half of the DVD is the Windows version and the other half is the Mac version, that and Origin is Windows exclusive. I highly doubt that Linux will be supported now or in the future.--The Black Scorpion 20:39, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

DJ
New work as a DJ? I guess the songs will be from Skrillex, Daft Punk and deadmau5. =) - Random contributor
 * I guess not. The songs might be made by The Sims Studio only.. but let's see. ThomasWikia Main 10:12, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

So Excited!
This expansion pack will be great! I'm really interested in stage lighting and stuff, so it should be a great expansion pack for me! Can't wait til' March!

New Death : By Magic?
I read the source where the editor got it from but it doesn't really explain much about the death and if its really called "Death by Magic". We don't really know a lot of detail about the death and how it occurs right? 119.224.27.62 (talk) 08:22, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * From the newest press release, "Beware the Box of Danger! If a Sim fails at correctly executing their tricks with this object, death may come calling". This is the box we see in the trailer, the one the magician sticks the sword though. Thus, if that trick goes wrong, the Sim inside of the box will die.--The Black Scorpion 08:36, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * So its more like death by Failed Trick than death by Magic, because its not really magic killing the Sim, the "Magic" skill of the performer will likely determine whether or not this trick will succed or fail. But if failing that trick ALWAYS results in the death of the assistant, I believe that the death rate from this trick will be extremely high if there is'nt some way to Practice with a Dummy. Or if the required skill level to succesfuly perform this trick is'nt to high -- Mr. Hamming 00:23, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Katy Perry
I love Katy Perry. That's all i wanted to say. :D '''Alex9400 | TALK with me. I ♥ ♦³ :-)''' 20:12, January 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Going to get the collector's edition right?

The Return of Genie?
From the screenshot I saw, it looks like Genie will be back in this game as a returning life state for real! And it looks as if it's playable! Is it true?  Nikel  Talk  12:06, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Those are two of many screenshots uploaded to the Exchange by secondary accounts of a few participants of the Showtime Beta. They are real and yes the Genie is the creature. Due to the embargo, I can not give any info about the Genie. We'll have to wait until after the live chat on Thursday.--The Black Scorpion 12:26, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * According to the live chat, nothing is explained about genies yet. Graham knows that a lot of The Sims 3 community knows that there's a genie as a life-state. Probably you have to wait.

Notes section
Is it fine if I post four different types of editions in a new article? The four are: standard edition, limited edition, bundled edition and collector's edition. All the box arts goes at the bottom of the topic. So, can I?

 ThomasWikia Main 14:39, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Gosh, so many choices, so little time! Can't EA just release one of each EP??? Does every edition of Showtime game really exist?  Nikel  Talk  14:49, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, EA has offer these kind of stuff so that their customers can sell one of these, thus getting lots of cash.
 * It could be better if EA can just show what are their future packs (showing themes) and make them. The customers will create hype and chooses what they want. And EA should hold a suggestion live chat, the customers will tell what suggestions they want in the packs.
 * That's my opinions.
 *  ThomasWikia Main 02:23, January 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sounds like EA's name has been smeared with their greed of money...  Nikel  Talk  15:00, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Starlight Shores?
I noticed the new town is going to be called Starlight Shores,and I found a possible picture of it. Is this true?Most say that it's just made to look fitting,but not the actual town.Dailingping11 11:42, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure with it... It's true that the town is going to be Starlight Shores, but I haven't seen what it will be like. Where did you get that snapshot?  Nikel  Talk  13:42, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * For crying out loud, does nobody else follow the SimGurus/Producers on Twitter? That was staged in Sunset Valley. Also, there was a live chat a few weeks ago where they showed off the LA inspired town.--The Black Scorpion 01:35, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'm barely on twitter. Nor am I excited about this Showtime. :/  Nikel  Talk  09:44, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not Starlight Shores.. because they don't look like Starlight Shores... :/
 * Oh and Black Scorpion, chillax. :)
 *  ThomasWikia Main 12:00, February 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Eh...at least now I know the rumour that this is fake originated from. Dailingping11 16:14, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Release countdown colors
I'm not a fan of the colors used on the release countdown header - I think they should be changed back to standard info header colors, as found in Info. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:05, February 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree, since it will be consistent. It's not a big problem to deal with anyway, so I'll just revert it.  Nikel  Talk  09:46, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

90% fake!
