:I had no problem with the images. They reminded me of the files added by [[User:TheXmas|TheXmas]]. TheXmas added several "non-canon" images but these files have managed to stay on the wiki for well over three years now. Some of his images were even featured media. In all honesty, I don't see the difference between the two users and the images they added. I [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Mate1234#Original_appearances told] Mate he could add them because I did really like them. However, I'm not going to vehemently argue for the images to stay simply because it's not worth arguing about.

::I wouldn't disagree with that, Auror. I like them too. However, there's a real difference between TheXmas' and Mate's images. Mate couldn't follow TheXmas' style of making such image. He did it poorly, which is why I don't like his images. Examples of TheXmas' images are here: [[:File:Veronaville
:::I removed the images for a number of reasons. One of them, as LiR said before, was that the images appeared to be very fanon-like. There was no consistency, the angles were all over the place instead of being head-on, and the Sims were shown doing something completely unremarkable and unrelated to their character, unlike TheXmas' images. Secondly, the quality of the images wasn't great. I agree with what Nikel stated above. The images look like half-finished Photoshop experiments, to be quite honest, not to mention the awkward angles and positioning of the Sims. I also found the images to be very unnecessary. Each of the Sims featured in the images Mate uploaded already have headshots and various storytelling images if we want to show their full appearances, uploading anything more when the desired effect can be easily achieved with current images feels like overkill. I'll accept whatever the community decides on this matter, but my opinion is that the images in question aren't really worth keeping. —[[User:Random Ranaun|<font color="#008000">Random Ranaun</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:Random Ranaun|<font color="#006400">Talk to me!</font>]])</sup> 04:14, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
:::[[User:Random Ranaun|Random Ranaun]] says that they are unneeded and that they are fanon. However, I have licensed them as ''Sim from TS2'' because they are supposed to be that. However, [[User:TheXmas|TheXmas ]]licensed them as fanon and posted them on canon article, and they were never removed. Then [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] said that I did it poorly. For some images, that´s true because I have no idea which tool [[User:TheXmas |TheXmas ]] used for his images.
:::<u>Only thing I wanted to do is improve the articles the best I can, and all users are supposed to do so.</u> And only Maxis made Sims are on those images, so I will say that they are not ''full'' fanon. [[User:Mate1234|Mate1234]] ([[User talk:Mate1234|talk]]) 06:44, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
