Redwood Shores?
In this interview with Executive Producer, Sam Player, the Gamespot representitive references that she is at Redwood Shores at the beginning of the video. Is there a chance that the console version is developed by Visceral Games (formerly known as EA Redwood Shores)? GEORGIEGIBBONS 15:11, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Late Night and The Sims 3 Console are being devoloped by EA Play/The Sims Team at Redwood. It was mentioned by Rod Humble at that EA event. however there are rumors that EA is outsourcing the devolopment of the Wii version of TS3 to another company.Bafendo 03:18, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Sunset Valley
Judgeing by the ancient art of YouTube, is it possible that Sunset Valley is the neighborhood which will be packaged with the game? GEORGIEGIBBONS (talk) 19:20, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Never mind. GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 19:01, September 27, 2010 (UTC)

IP unable to remove content
Why won't it let me remove the smut from the XBOX360 section? The last bit in the "console exclusive" section? I tried to delete it, but it won't appear on the edit page when I try.
 * Are you referring to the name of the town (Moonlight Bay)? GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 21:48, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Noo, someone put something about uploading sims into the real world in order to have intercourse with them or some bull like that.75.213.254.195 18:27, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I remember the edit in question. It had been removed and the user was warned for vandalism. (I remember a similar edit to Call of Duty: Black Ops on Wikipedia. As a response to your question, I'm not sure why you couldn't edit the page, though I know that Wikia has recently been having some techinical issues. Nonetheless, thank you for wanting to remove the vandalism and keep up the good work! Regards, GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 18:41, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Those issues are related to the changes they are doing. mainy the theme changes as all wikis are eventually gonna be under a new layout/theme.Bafendo 18:46, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

Keyboard/mouse?
Now I have looked all over the place for info regarding the possible use of peripherals with this game (i.e, mouse and keyboard). I'm assuming that because there isn't any info then this game doesn't support it...but wouldn't that be awesome? Probably the only thing stopping me from buying this for PS3 is the fact that strategy games and games like the sims SUCK with a controller. The Sims 2 was a piece of !@#$ on PS2. Anyway, if anyone has seen anything, interviews with devs or comments, whatever, about keyboard/mouse, lemme know!

 * No, the PS3 version will not support any PC peripherals. Sorry. GEORGIE  GIBBONS  talk contributions 21:01, November 5, 2010 (UTC)

preformance
how is the in game preformacece for the xbox version, it looks good in the videos but complaints are splurted out, Im getting it tomorrow along with the new xbox and was wondering if its such a huge deal as people make out??King Ratcliffe 21:59, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have heard that it is worth getting although the in-game performance is below average. Unlike the PC version, the console version has loading screens and also it may be worth noting that I had a party in the game and I noticed that there was some slowdown because there were loads of different Sims present.

 * I had a crap computer anyway when I got the pc version so the xbox version will prob be more better i wont even notice it :) thanks though, merry christmas King Ratcliffe 22:06, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Split
Since The Sims 3 (Wii) has already been created, we might as well go ahead and split the article up for each console, in my opinion. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 22:06, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no problem with that. Though I think the PS3/360 versions should stay together as they are practically the same version, whereas the DS version can have its own article. GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  22:09, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Graves
On the console, two of my sims have now died and I cant find their graves, in my inventory and anywhere on the lot?? where are they or how do I get them??King Ratcliffe 21:47, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is something I have found myself. Unless EA release a patch sometime soon, I don't think there is a way. Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  22:22, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
