Aug 9, 2020 at 14:37 comment added Harry Gindi @DylanWilson The example I'm thinking of here is where C is something that is already abelian or at least additive, so I think the point is that CMG is implicitly thinking of the construction Ho Stab Ch^+(C) (identifying Ch^+(C) with sC, in which case this does have a universal property I think.
Aug 9, 2020 at 13:28 comment added Dylan Wilson more stuff: if you'd like to take an ordinary category $C$ and then view $sC$ as simplicially enriched, I think you need $C$ to be complete or cocomplete (otherwise how do you define the simplicial structure on hom-objects?). Also, another issue you might run into is that the construction 'sC' isn't very universal, as far as I know... for specific examples of C it ends up having a universal property as a sifted cocompletion of a certain subcategory of C, but I don't know a good invariant description in general

Aug 9, 2020 at 12:36 comment added curious math guy @DylanWilson Thank you very much! I'll change my question accordingly.
Aug 9, 2020 at 12:33 comment added Dylan Wilson I think there's some confusions here that are worth sorting through. (1) 'associated simplicial category' would usually mean C back again, but you seem to use it later to mean the category of simplicial objects in C, with its simplicial structure? (2) the htpy category of a stable $\infty$-category has a canonical triangulated structure, not just any old $\infty$-category, (3) the homotopy category of sA, for A abelian, is not $D(A)$, or triangulated, but rather $D_{\ge 0}(A)$... I think there are some other issues, but that's a start
