The Sims 3 Create-A-Sim Standalone Icon Disgrace

Ok, this is just awful. I can’t even believe I’m reporting this, it’s just simply pathetic. TheSimsSlovenija recently reported on finding the icon for the stand-alone version of the Create-A-Sim from the original Sims 3 Game. I thought it was joke when I saw it, but look at it here, on the Sims 3 website! I hope it gets changed, but if not, we will soon start seeing it on peoples profiles. It’s a disgrace.

Intel integrated chipsets featuring underclocked parts will not perform adequately.
Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.
Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn’t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.
