Another easter egg not mentioned is the Lifetime Reward, I believe it came with Supernatural, called the Philosopher's Stone which turns objects into gold. It's obviously a reference to Harry Potter.

:No, it isn't. The concept of the [[Wikipedia:Philosopher's stone|philosopher's stone]] is ancient. [[User:Dharden|Dharden]] ([[User_talk:Dharden|talk]]) 16:55, July 25, 2014 (UTC)
== (A) Game of Thorns ==
Not sure, if this is really an allusion to [[wikipedia:en:A Game of Thrones|A Game of Thrones]], some fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin.
#The title doesn't begin with the "A" (just removed it from the article).
#Without the "A" it would be the TV series, but that premiered in 2011, while Sims 3 was released in 2009.
#The Sims novel isn't fantasy, but mystery.
#I can't find any connection between the names of the official author, George R. R. Martin (George Raymond (Richard) Martin), and of the fictional one, Guy le France.
Btw., in the German translation of the game they totally removed any possible allusion, for the TV series and the first novel are also called "A Game of Thrones" while the Sim novel was literally translated to "Dornenspiel" (thorn = Dorn; throne = Thron). -- [[User:CompleCCity|CompleCCity]] ([[User talk:CompleCCity|talk]]) 13:35, July 7, 2015 (UTC)
:In the Dutch game it's called: Doornenspel. But in Sims 4 there is a book called Het spel der Tronen. If you translate that it literally means: Game of Thrones.

::I replied your message in your talk page, but I guess it's better if I quote some parts of my message here because it's relevant to the discussion:
<blockquote>As a commoner, the instance I heard "Game of Thorns," I immediately got reminded of the novel / series. To me, it didn't matter if it lacked a word / letter to the original title, or had differences in some details like the genre or author. I mean, it doesn't exactly have to be a full reference, because the pun title already rings the bell. Thus, I still think the book is a reference to that series and needs to be kept here, albeit ignoring certain details. However, it might be worth pointing out the points you've explained there in the list because I find those facts interesting and relevant as well.</blockquote>

:::Just did add these facts onto the page. As I am aware of the sensitivity of easter egg articles, perhaps someone could check that … -- [[User:CompleCCity|CompleCCity]] ([[User talk:CompleCCity|talk]]) 14:04, July 17, 2015 (UTC)
== Quantum Power Suit? ==
I feel sad no one has added the Quantum Power Suit as a possible nod to Mass Effect. The holographic guantlet looks suspiciously similar to an omnitool. [[User:Mimi Sardinia|Mimi Sardinia]] ([[User talk:Mimi Sardinia|talk]]) 12:11, February 13, 2018 (UTC)
