Unprotect

I'd like to suggest that we unprotect this page at the end of September, once it stops being the Featured Article. We can always re-protect it after that time, if it is an issue. Waiting until then will hopefully avoid vandalism from the buzz surrounding the game. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 19:49, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

No objections here, I'm in for it. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 20:02, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

I agree. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 11:23, September 3, 2014 (UTC)

I agree, for reasons stated above. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 11:29, September 3, 2014 (UTC)

Works for me. Dharden (talk) 11:44, September 3, 2014 (UTC)

Expiration for page protection has been set to October 1 at midnight. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 17:06, September 3, 2014 (UTC)

cheats

are cheats in the sims 4 the same as the sims 3 cheats?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Commentadder (talk • contribs) 20:25 4 September 2014 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~

Some of the cheats are the same, but not all. There is a list on http://www.ign.com/wikis/the-sims-4/Cheat_Codes and various other sites. You can also see a list of cheats by typing help in to the cheat console. Some codes don't work in neighborhood view though.Suceress (talk) 19:12, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Mac Version IS REAL

Just so you guys know, a Mac Version HAS BEEN CONFIRMED and HAS BEEN SINCE THE SUMMER. There is just no known release date yet.

Source: http://www.ea.com/news/the-sims-4-in-development-for-pc-and-mac —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.110.78.153 (talk • contribs) 18:08 6 September 2014 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~

That was the first announcement of The Sims 4, in May of last year. Since that announcement, the developers have repeatedly said that their focus is on building the PC version of the game, and they've given no details on when (or even if) they plan on creating a version for Mac. Keep in mind that this isn't the first time that the developers/SimGurus have announced something that later did not come true; the existence of cars and toddlers in TS4 was confirmed months before the announcement that they did not exist. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 18:56, September 6, 2014 (UTC)

Money making with handiness

Tip: Focusing on the handiness skill can earn your sim up to $12,000 a day with creating bathtubs when woodworking. This excludes expenses, fun emotion, and social emotion. I think it could be great for starting up families (starting from 1 sim.)

Traits used : Loner, Cheerful (Just incase it doesn't work so well for others.)

Patch section

What's exactly the point of this patch section? If it talks about how the patching in this game works, it's relevant. But the section only talks about the very first patch for the game which is rather pointless and irrelevant. It's not practical to describe every single patch released for the game because each of them is already explained in their respective patch page. I suggest that if it's not rewritten, it should be just removed. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 09:09, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

I agree. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 19:13, September 15, 2014 (UTC)

Timeline

If The Sims 4 wasn't in an alternative universe, I think the timeline would be in this order: The Sims 3, The Sims 1, The Sims 4 and then The Sims 2. For example, Cassandra Goth isn't born (The Sims 3) and then she is a child (The Sims 1) and then she is a teen (The Sims 4) and lastly, she is an adult (The Sims 2). Think about it: unborn, child, teen and adult! In order. 2.217.125.232 (talk) 18:11, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
