== Timer ==

When is someone going to stop the timer. Because as far as I know The Sims 3 has been delayed -- '''[[Image:F4Sig.jpg|19px]] [[User:**The Falling One**|<font face="Comic Sans MS" color="darkred"> † The Falling Øne© </font>]]''' 10:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
: A delay has not been confirmed. Many European and North American retailers still list the release as on or near Feb. 20th. Until the delay is confirmed the timer remains. --[[User:A_morris|a_morris]] <small>([[User_talk:A_morris|talk]])</small> 18:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:: Hope your not giving False Hope. Here some say it will be 16 march or so -- '''[[Image:F4Sig.jpg|19px]] [[User:**The Falling One**|<font face="Comic Sans MS" color="darkred"> † The Falling Øne© </font>]]''' 19:51, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

== Just so you know ==
Somebody deleted the entire main page so I restored it and I'm not a regular editor so I thought I'd let people know.[[User:Jackrandall1|Jackrandall1]] 13:35, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
: Clearing the whole page -_-" [[User:Logan96]] must be feeling proud :P -- '''[[Image:F4Sig.jpg|19px]] [[User:**The Falling One**|<font face="Comic Sans MS" color="darkred"> † The Falling Øne© </font>]]''' 07:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

== Vandalizm ==
Vandalizm keeps happening to the sims 3 page, by an anonymous user, can some one put that on the main page so that people know they should keep a look out?--[[User:Limemabean|Limemabean]] 03:35, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

==New Skin==
I love the new skin! Its amazing! Whoever made it- well done >.<
[[User:Matta jr|Matta jr]] 17:51, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


Sorry if I sound mean but, can someone redo the logo so it's not a white box around the background? I would if I could, but I'm wiki stupid. Thanks! [[User:Dictation|Dictation]] 19:37, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
:A new logo is being discussed at '''[[The Sims Wiki:Logo Contest]]'''.--[[User:Richard1990|Richard]]<sup>[[User talk:Richard1990|talk]]</sup> 23:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
the newer skin is great If you made it good job

== News error ==

In the news section, it states that the Sims 3 has been released in England. No it hasn't been released in England, it has been released in the United Kingdom, which is more correct. [[User:Wormulon|Wormulon]] 22:08, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

== Sims 3 Mutants ==

I have an idea for an expansion pack. With it, whenever you make a new Sim you'll be able to give them a mutant form. You can costimize it as crazy as you can. Once playing as the sim at your house, you'll have to option to turn into a mutant whenever all your needs are VERY low. Once then, the only interaction is to destroy or kill stuff. You can turn back whenever you want. This is a stupid idea, I know, and it needs improvement.--[[User:FawkesGamer360|FawkesGamer360]] 03:54, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

== New Sims 3 Pictures ==

Okay, the pictures of sims in sims 3 are REALLY bad! We need new pictures!


== Poll ==
The poll really needs to be changed. It's had the same question for nearly 3 weeks. --[[User:Bella Goth|Bella Goth]] 20:21, December 31, 2009 (UTC)Bella Goth


== New Icons ==
I dont want to touch them myself as I don't have replacements, but the new icons on the front page for Pre-Made Sims etc. are being blown up (they are over sized) and therefore are very pixely, I recommend finding a replacement for these icons.

== Buttons ==

|text = I have added more buttons on the main page, and I believe that I have given them a more suitable place (the Contents column), but I had to change the look of the main page pretty drastically, so, I just want to know what people think about it, so could someone please give me some feedback? Lol.

== Page Stretch ==

The unnecessary page stretch caused by the table of contents is bothering me. A lot. Could someone change it? I can't be the only one who feels bothered by it. It disrupts the nice rectangular format of the page...<br />~[[User:FangzV | <span style="color:green;">FangzV</span>]]''' ([[User_Talk:FangzV | <span style="color:red;">Flame</span> at me ''here'']]) as said on 18:53, February 7, 2010 (UTC)'''

== I think I know who ==

I think I know who is vandilising [[The Sims 3]] page. I looked at the changes and one of the change showers said, "User talk: 110.33.253.32" and i clicked on it. when i got on it, i cliked on controbutins and i saw that this person had typed down "THE UNREGISTERED VANDILISER STRIKES AGAIN!" on one of The Sims 3 pages. So the vandiliser is 110.33.253.32.
Sincerly, [[Special:Contributions/168.8.230.57|168.8.230.57]] 12:22, May 14, 2010 (UTC) and p.s, here's the proof: [http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/110.33.253.32]

Content update

File:The sims wiki screenshot main page text.png
Screenshot of the main page with window reduced to menu+contents in width.

I'd like to suggest a few changes for 'Contents' on the main page:

  • Aspirations should be changed to Traits. Traits will get the Simology image and Simlogy will get a new one.
  • Custom content gets changed to Downloads and gets a new image.
  • Would also be cool to have Fast Lane Stuff on there.
  • Maybe the latest patch page aswell.

Duskey(talk)(blog) 06:23, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Added The Sims Wiki:Sandbox/Contents to display my proposed changes. Duskey(talk)(blog) 21:12, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
Additional: What's with the fixed width on the top text? (see screenshot on the right) Duskey(talk)(blog) 21:43, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
Additional: I added some suggestions to the news segment on the aforementioned The Sims Wiki:Sandbox/Contents page. Duskey(talk)(blog) 08:09, July 17, 2010 (UTC)
The blank space in the upper right corner is where Wikia put(s) ads. Any changes made should not be against Wikia's Terms of Use:

Not intentionally block, remove, or otherwise obstruct the proper functioning and view of advertisements by other users, including but not limited to changing or adding javascript or CSS changes to the Service that would prevent the proper display or function of advertisements.

Look at Help:Main page column tags.
I like the additions you have made to the news section. However I don't like that the layout will push down the Featured Article & Featured Media sections. As "featured" sections I believe they should be visible "above the fold". --a_morris (talk) 15:08, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
Ah yes the ads, that explains it. The news section wasn't actually meant to be made wider, I reduced the table width in the sandbox to reflect that. Duskey(talk) 16:50, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
Ok. That looks good. --a_morris (talk) 19:26, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
If it messes comepletely with users running low resolutions, we could always skip the flavor text of upcoming releases and just have the icon with the title. The patches list isn't that wide to begin with so I think it's ok. Does anyone have any comments on the the contents? Duskey(talk) 19:32, July 18, 2010 (UTC)
