Archive 3[edit]

Today, March 23, 2013, I have archived the recent talk to Archive 3 of The Sims 3 talk page. Previous two edits are war but misunderstood due to me not leaving any notice. This is the official notice of /Archive 3 to The Sims 3 Talk Page. Sundogs ^{Wikia UserPage} 19:02, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edit - The Good Article Review is listed on Archive 3's listing. Sundogs ^{Wikia UserPage} 19:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Sims 3 expansion and stuff packs listing together?[edit]

Since the Good Article review suggested that The Sims 3 expansion packs and stuff packs be on its own listing, my question is this, if we decide to split The Sims 3 games, i.e. core game with expansion and stuff packs, onto one listing, should we remove The Sims 3: Stuff Packs article and merge it into a new article with core / expansion pack / stuff pack article listing? I think the core / expansion pack / stuff pack article is wise, and thus, eliminating the stuff pack article (in my honest opinion) because we don't need two lists of stuff packs. So, this is a public vote! (and note the good article review is in the Archive 3 article page; see archive list above for link). Sundogs ^{talk page sandbox} 01:09, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Should we split the Game Play of The Sims 3?[edit]

As the good article reviewer stated, in archive 3, the reviewer stated that we should spin-off the game play into its own article entitled Gameplay of The Sims 3 and I am willing to do the work, since it is listed on commissioned work on sandbox (can be found here),and so, I am asking those to look at the good article review, link found here, and leave your vote and/or opinions here. I am asking the public-at-large to vote on this and message above. Sundogs ^{talk page sandbox} 01:17, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

January 2014: Multiple issues[edit]

I have tagged the Gameplay section of this article for multiple issues pertaining to its content and verification. The sheer excessive detail this section gets into is overwhelming, and a clear violation of WP:GAMEGUIDE and WP:GAMECRUFT. Wikipedia's goal is to present concisely-written information to the reader, who has no previous experience with the subject, and guide them into further research through sourcing. There is virtually no sourcing throughout the entire section at all. According to WP:VG's quality scale, B-Class material must be suitably referenced. The criteria also explains that material must reasonably cover the topic (read: stray away from excessive detail) and be written with as broad an audience as possible. As the article appears to fail the B-Class Criteria, I am also demoting it to C-Class. CR4ZE (t) 12:19, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weird links to The Sims 3[edit]

Here are weird links to The Sims 3. Is this ok? --Transiturus (talk) 09:10, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like those are all actors from Yo soy Betty, la fea. I've retargeted the remaining ones accordingly. Ionmars10 (talk) 11:51, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
