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)

Thank you

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.

Bye. --Nacho 14:58, August 25, 2010 (UTC)

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)

Yes, I found this template very good, and easily usable :). But too that Videos don't take as much space on the page !! Thank you for userbox User french wiki. Julien2660 16:51, August 28, 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)

Danny Monster user page
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? Will he block her because she is absent? I don't understand ! Thanks Guilherme Guerreiro 11:26, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

But it is a bit strange ! There is a strange dialogue here The Sims Wiki talk:Requests for bureaucratship#Opening the requests page, he is saying that A morris is inactive and he could be a bureaucrat and things like these, I don't understand.. Thanks Guilherme Guerreiro 11:49, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * No I'm just putting those on there as eta's(estimated time of arrival)Also,there's two countdowns the second one is the time she said she would return and the first one is a ETA.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 11:39, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
