Re:Image categories
Yes, sorry my mistake I will not add anymore that category. Thanks Good Work ;). Guilherme Guerreiro 09:06, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Downtown/ Bridgeport
Do you think you should merge Bridgeport to Downtown, Grant Rodiek stated that Bridgeport is Downtown but with other name because when the city didn´t have name he called the city Downtown. So do you think we should merge or not. Thanks for helping me with my questions ;) Guilherme Guerreiro 09:19, August 17, 2010 (UTC).

New category
Do you think you should create a category named Sims with glasses ? It is an intresting category I think. Thanks Guilherme Guerreiro 09:52, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

I think I will need help because millions of sims have glasses. Try to find them ! Thanks Guilherme Guerreiro 10:01, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Warnings
I'll have to get in the habit of doing it. Not exactly easy, since it looks the same with and without "subst:". If it's not a difference that makes no difference, what's the difference? (Serious question. All I can find on the matter says to use "subst:" on templates that are used inline, but nothing I can find says why to do it or what difference it makes.) Dharden (talk) 13:55, August 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I see. is replaced with what's in the template; but  without the "subst:" just says "go get this and display it". It's straightforward enough once it's explained, but it is not self-evident. Dharden (talk) 18:57, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Yo, Duskey. Good luck handling the Wiki; I'm going to be offline handling things in rl for a couple weeks. Don't break anything. And no rowdy parties while I'm gone, or next time I'll hire a babysitter. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 04:55, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

What is SimsCentral?
Answering your request, SimsCentral is a place where I/other admins, sysops and bearucrats can post news bites in paragraphs, at any time. For example: ''I if wanted to add something like someone from the wiki was retiring, you could post it immediately, with the newsletter you'd have to wait a bit. If it turns out that they are not, you could retract the post. In the newsletter, it would be shorter so you'd have to add something else.''

Also (I can do this with the newsletter as well) I can save the data onto a HTML format readable offline. Anybody can on Internet Explorer 8 and Notepad. Just press F11, copy the entire text, open Notepad, paste it in, and Save As an HTML.

I hope this helped - TDM : Always here to help but only one thing : Call me Data 07:48, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

I will do that. TDM : Always here to help but only one thing : Call me Data 20:08, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Sims headshots
I'm glad you asked me about the threatening message i received because I didn't even know what I've done wrong: All I did was creating some pages about the sims 2 nannies and adding categories and miscellaneous informations about other sims, like their eye color. And I've never spoken to Simscontributor before.... I was very surprised to read it.

Anyway, I have two little (and perhaps dumb) questions about uploading some images: I saw on the other sims wikis (french and spanish) some sims headshots which are way better than the ones I uploaded myself (for example the one of Macy Clay) and wanted to upload these instead of mines, but I don't know if I can do that without doing anything special, like an "unusual" licensing or something like that..

I also wondered how to "make" these headshots myself. Could you tell me how if you know?

Thanks you already, JM9193 12:07, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

New Userbox
Hey Duskey, I found myself today with a bit of free time, so I decided to create a new userbox. What do you think of it?

I like it, personally. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 19:59, August 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Edited it to allow custom number. Duskey ( talk ) 21:03, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Fruits
I already have the Vegetables category written in the Food infobox. I agree with naming the category "Fruits from The Sims 2 Castaway (DS)", but does that mean that we'll have to name the other category, "Fruits from The Sims 3?" Also, do you have any The Sims 2 Castaway games? I'm trying to add more information about them, since they have so many new objects, clothing, etc. --Random Ranaun 07:28, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh. So, do we delete The Sims 3 sections of Watermelon and Tomato? --Random Ranaun 07:36, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh ok. I'll start editing right away. In the meantime, do you think you could try and look for Users who played The Sims 2 Castaway? I need all the help I can get. :S --Random Ranaun 07:49, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know. That's why I need to find users who play those games. --Random Ranaun 22:29, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, The Sims console games are usually very different from their handheld counterparts. I think we should have the fruit and recipe pages just say that their from "The Sims 2 Castaway (Nintendo DS)" until we find out if they really are from the console version. I know that the Wii and the PS2 versions are the same, but I'm not sure about the PSP version. I'll see if I can buy The Sims 2 Castaway for Wii/PS2 and add the information on it. If the fruits and other items are also in the PS2 version, I'll add information about them on their articles and create new articles if the PS2 version features more fruits or items. But I'm still not sure. Just because it has the same features as the DS version, doesn't mean that it has the same items. --Random Ranaun 09:37, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. I'll continue to add information about the DS version then. :)

Other Languagues
Hi Duskey, I´m Ignacio. Thanks for the message in the Spanish wiki an the Italian to. Later I will create a portal to. Can you make a hybrid flag with the Spain flag and the like the Uk and Usa? Please.

RE: The Sims 2 Castaway
As far as I know, they are both the same game with the same kind of story/objective. However, I do suspect that there are some differences between the console and NDS versions. Regards, GEORGIEGIBBONS 16:16, August 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * According to the DS version review on IGN, it seems they are two different games as the DS version seems to start with the player falling into a crate and it is developed by a different team. GEORGIEGIBBONS 16:21, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The PSP version is different to the NDS version but according to the PSP IGN review, it is more similar to the console version although there are still a few differences (such as no fishing occupation on PSP). Regards, GEORGIEGIBBONS 17:06, August 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for creating the list. It's actually quite a good idea as we can use it to gather comparisons between all versions and use the information to improve Castaway related articles. Thanks again :) Regards, GEORGIEGIBBONS 18:28, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

Update
Not necessarily - Under development2 would be useful after the release of a specific expansion, while Update simply says that an article needs to be updated for new games and expansions. That would be useful if, say, a particular feature were changed twice in two separate expansions, but the article was never edited to reflect those changes. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 17:28, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Duskey! Sorry bother you one more time but why is in Monster user page an warn saying 2 days until A morris needs to return, What does that mean ? What is he thinking to put that in his user page?

Repo-woman
Thanks for your congratulation for my numerous edits, but I'm a bit surprised since I only edited 1000 pages since my registration. I know I edited some more pages before but I thought the IP adresses attributed to unregistred contributors were changing with time... So I really don't know how you learned how much edits I made before my registration... Just by curiosity.

Anyway, I have some doubts about the name of the repo-woman from Riverview. I play the french version of the game and her name contains a letter usually absent in english, the "é". I just wondered if you could give me her english name, so I would be able to create a page on her. I already created some pages under wrong names a long time ago and I can't find hers on the internet.

Sorry to disturb you with my silly questions, JM9193 17:31, September 3, 2010 (UTC).

Thanks for you answer. I knew it was odd that one could know How many edits I made before I register. I think I'll find another way to get this repo-woman's name.

Oh, and concerning your previous message, I fear I won't be able to add the Barnacle bay sims' pages... I'm not really fond of the SimPoints system and I don't think I'll download the town, unless it costs less than 1000 simPoints (the ones offered with the game). However, I will normally be able to add sims from Bridgeport :). JM9193 18:23, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Can You fix
Hi Duskey I need your help, in some sim pages that have daughters there is a problem instead of appearing a image of a female symbol, appears a link of the image please fix it because I don't jnow what to do ! Thanks very much. Guilherme Guerreiro 10:51, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

The same happens with sims with sisters.


 * I fixed the double redirects to File:Female.png, but it doesn't seem to be making a difference. The redirects work when the links are clicked, but not when the pages load. Dharden (talk) 12:42, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * ETA: Curiouser and curiouser. I checked in the Sandbox, and it's working there, and seems to be working when I went to edit mode on one of the affected pages and clicked Preview without changing anything. However, if I just reload the page, it still shows the link. Dharden (talk) 12:52, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * ETA2: Saving the affected pages appears to fix the issue, even if nothing is changed. Computers, go fig. Anyway, the affected pages have Younger sister, Older sister, Daughter, and Sister in the Relative template. Dharden (talk) 13:12, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Whoops, my bad! I found a picture better than female.jpg. Trouble was it was female.PNG and the JPG portion was hardcoded into Template:Relative so I figured a redirect would be the way to do is, but the cache system makes fools of us all. I know multiple files were already redirecting to female.jpg but it never occured to me that it would result in double redirects, I guess it must've been late :p Once again, sorry for giving you a scare. Is it "fixed" now? Duskey ( talk ) 22:48, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
