[edit] The Sims 2 IKEA Home Stuff

It was officially announced at the EA store —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.247.125.69 (talk) 00:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

It seems this SP was cancelled, this product isn't available anymore, visit the BBS topic --Iblis Trigger (talk) 16:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
So I was right all along then, it will never exist. Jammy (talk) 16:50, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

What makes you think it is cancelled? Only because it has been removed from EA Store? Maybe EA simply advised the people from EA Store to remove the information about the pack because it´s too early? That doesn´t mean it´s cancelled. EA isn´t that good in coordination of info, that´s all. IKEA Home Stuff WILL surely be released. Neo, 17:32, 13 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.153.106.220 (talk)

Because an email was sent to everyone who had pre-ordered the game saying the game was cancelled. Jammy (talk) 17:44, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
If you would read that email more carefully you will find out that nothing indicates it is officially cancelled. Only the before given release date was cancelled, not the pack itself. Neo, 21:04, 13 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.153.106.220 (talk)
It IS official, it hasn´t been cancelled: http://www.diesims.de/products.view.asp?id=65. And it never WAS cancelled. Neo, 15:53, 15 May 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.153.59.242 (talk)
Finally, it was officially announced @ The Sims 2 site -- Iblis Trigger (talk) 18:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wrong company infos !

Maxis is dead since they are in EA, since 2007 the Maxis logo was removed from The Sims franchise ! It's no longer Maxis but it's EA Games only. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.52.208.241 (talk) 13:12, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

No Maxis are not dead, EA don't make games, they assign companies to make games for them which they publish. Publishing a game does not make them the developers. So even if Maxis are dead, so would the Sims series as EA don't make games. Jammy (talk) 15:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merged

I went ahead and merged all of the stuff packs into one article. If anyone wants to go though and add pictures, go ahead. ♦TH1RT3EN talk ♦ contribs 00:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Yeah nice job (sarcasm). You messed up with the article. Scattered information everywhere. I cannot help here though, but please someone organize it fast !

[edit] Speedy deletion?

This article is not about any of the things stated in the tag. I'm confused about why it was even added. ♦TH1RT3EN talk ♦ contribs 03:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not being the author

I can and did remove the deletion tag. The best way to protect against its re-addition is to get a few third party references from magazines or reviews talking about these packs.DGG 06:01, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] H&M stuff

The information about H&M stuff on the sims 2 official web site seems to say that you can open a clothing store with this pack and have fashion shows and stuff a little bit like open for business. I haven't added anything to the article, but I think it would be useful for someone else to read the web site info and give me their input on the pack before change anything. Still the pack is categorized under stuff packs so I'm not holding my hopes up. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 468jgirl (talk • contribs) 01:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sims 2 Holiday.jpg

being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 11:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Sims 2 Holiday Edition 2005

The cover used is actually a pre-release box art. The box art used on the actual product at the time of release is a different (and more polished one). This is why I'm going to change it. It would be appreciated if someone removes the white borders. I did it in Paint, but the program also decreased the quality of the overall picture. So I left it in its orginal state instead. --Funnykidrian 02:32, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, I figured out how to do it in Photoshop. --Funnykidrian 02:45, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
