RE: TS2 Sims skin tones
Yeah, I sort of do have a comparison against other Sims. Elders are quite hard because their skin tone is lighter than younger Sims with the same one. For toddlers and up, medium is easy to see, and dark. Although light and tan, I tend to get mixed up a lot. The Sims 3 skin tones, can be very hard because every skin tone is different. Light and tan, again, very hard, then I get tan and medium mixed up, as well as medium and dark. Before I know it I'm having an argument with myself choosing which skin tone category to put them in. Joey.eyeball (talk) 18:41, December 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * This thing has nothing to do with skin tones but relates to Sim's bios, and is body shape. For example, when you reverted my edits on Angela Pleasant a while ago, you changed my words from thin to fit. I always thought fit was like Don Lothario's body shape, or is it just like thin? Joey.eyeball (talk) 05:17, December 5, 2013 (UTC)

There are three fitness levels - fat, thin and fit. Dustin, Don, Angela and Darren are fit. C.Syde65 (talk) 04:39, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

RE: TS2: Apartment Pets
Hi. On the TS2: Apartment Pets article an AU spammed on it. Just warning that you might want to ban his/her IP address. ICecreAm waS heRe 23:10, December 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * Normally, it's best to give vandals a warning before you block them from editing, as is the policy on Wikipedia. Once they've vandalized enough, IPs should be blocked for a little while, such as a day or a week. IP blocks should never be indefinite, as IP addresses often change owners. Vandalism-only accounts also should be warned, but if they're clearly evident on harming the wiki, they should be blocked indefinitely. K6ka (talk | contrib) | NG Userpage | The Last Stand Wiki | The Sims Wiki | YouTube | Wikipedia 23:24, December 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for reporting the vandalism, Icecream18! :) And thanks for covering me, K6ka!


 * To make it simple, the anonymous user only has only made one mild vandalism, so it doesn't really warrant him a ban. I would give him a warning, but it seems too late now, unless he decides to vandalize again in the future, which isn't very likely.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:03, December 8, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Create more Bluewater Village Townie pages
Hi, do you think you could upload some more information about the Bluewater Village townies.

If you do reply, my official user page is C.Syde65. I'm just having trouble getting in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by C.Syde65 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~


 * I couldn't reveal who all the Bluewater Village townies are by name and by sight if I wanted to. I don't know how and anyway I doubt whether I have the editing software. Don't you need SimPE to find such information out? I'm asking anyone who will or might do the job, not you personally. C.Syde65 (talk) 06:33, December 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have SimPE now and I have the pictures of all the Bluewater Village townies. I'm all ready to create the remaining townie pages. Thanks to a different site, I've found the names of about half of these townies. But I don't know where to find the correct names for the rest of them.C.Syde65 (talk) 07:30, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

RE: About Social Class Sims
If most people don't consider any of the Belladonna Cove townies as belonging to a social class, It is not my job to argue with them. The townies in question may not officially belong to a social class as such. But I'm just saying that the game has treated some of these townies as social class Sims in the past, such as Toby Siew being treated as a bohemian. It may take some time before I fully understand what other players consider nessessary information or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by C.Syde65 (talk • contribs) (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~


 * Well apparently when I clicked on the NPC and townie maker and summoned all the Sims of a particular social class, some of the Belladonna Cove townies were among them. C.Syde65 (talk) 06:00, December 9, 2013 (UTC)

4 points in Sci-Fi
Well so far all the adult townies in the Sims 2 that I've seen had 4 points in Sci-Fi. All the teenage and child townies in the Sims 2 seem to have a random number of points in Sci-Fi. I'm not sure about the elder townies because I've never counted them.

Mrs. Crumplebottom
I'm sorry but she does indeed have a personality.

I'd advice you to double check your information before assuming that what other people have written is false.C.Syde65 (talk) 06:09, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

Sometimes I would add her to the family, and play around with her. But I wouldn't save the game afterwards. I'm not sure but you could be referring to her genetic personality. She's not exactly accurate because she is an object, not a character.

You should play the Sims 2, then add Mrs. Crumplebottom to a family, check her personality points and then exit without saving. She always has 10 neat and active points, 5 outgoing points and 0 playful and nice points.

C.Syde65 (talk) 06:29, December 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Whether or not she has an active personality may be something that varies. I used SimPE to look at her information, and she had an active personality, but the genetic personality was all zeroes.

Ok, I am confused about if I should put Dark/Light Blue on Sim articles for their eye colour or just Blue. I'd prefer Blue. Joey.eyeball (talk) 03:24, December 14, 2013 (UTC)

Blond or Blonde
Hey Nikel. I hope you are well! Joseph and I have been talking about which adjective is best when describing Sims' hair colours. We were hoping that you might like to take a look at our talk pages (Joseph's / mine) and see what you think.

A basic overview: I think that blond should be used for males and blonde for females, as the words are derived from French and that's how the French language uses them. However, it might be difficult to change all incorrect Sim pages so that they use that usage (if we decide to go with that).

 * You may have also noticed on my sandbox comparison that I put custom as a lot of things. I think that would be better to put instead of manually putting it as blue, red, grey etc. What do you think? Joey.eyeball (talk) 04:55, December 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, I don't mean that. I mean that instead of bright purple hair and labeling it as purple, you would label it as custom. So you would end up having categories like "Sims with custom eye colour" or "Sims with custom skin colour". Joey.eyeball (talk) 05:09, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Rod Humble
Well I don't have FreeTime, but I can summon him using cheats because I have Apartment Life. Apparently when making him selectable the game recognizes him as a Cancer. All object NPCs with no personality points are considered Cancers. However SimPE and the Sims 2 game don't always agree with one another. In this case you should agree with the game over SimPE. I've tried to add Rod to the family but it doesn't work. C.Syde65 (talk) 05:56, December 27, 2013 (UTC)

Randomized Names
Yes the names of the witches, landlords and butlers from Magic always have randomized names. C.Syde65 (talk) 08:07, December 30, 2013 (UTC)

The landlords and butlers (and witches minus Frances and Phoebe) always had their names randomized. I can remember how frustrating it was that before getting SimPE I was unable to learn their real names. Someone else actually wrote that before me. I just edited it so it would make more sense.

Character file
If object Sims' character files can't be opened then how have people uploaded their thumbnails. And how are you supposed to copy their genetics and use them to make a Sim "clone"? C.Syde65 (talk) 00:43, December 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, but the character files can be opened - for universal Sims, their character file is located in the objects.package file, which a lot of SimPE amateurs miss. The file is huge, though, and it should be made read-only before you tamper with it.

Sim DNA
Exactly how do you type it in? There are a few cheats that just won't work no matter how I write them in. C.Syde65 (talk) 01:02, January 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm confused at what you're trying to ask. What cheats are not working for you? How does this have to do with Sim DNA? K6ka (talk | contrib) | NG Userpage | The Last Stand Wiki | The Sims Wiki | YouTube | Wikipedia 01:31, January 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * I guess by this, I'm assured that this cheat isn't available in normal games... The  cheat. I don't know how exactly I enabled it in my game, but I have two suspects. The first one, try creating a userstartup.cheat file in your config folder. There, include   so that testingcheatsenabled will be enabled in your game by default. After that, input   in the cheat box to show the list of cheats in your game, and see if there are new cheats on the list, like the SimDNA one.  Nikel   Talk  –  Vote!  02:40, January 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hm, never seen or heard about this cheat before. What does it do? K6ka (talk | contrib) | NG Userpage | The Last Stand Wiki | The Sims Wiki | YouTube | Wikipedia 03:32, January 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * It basically shows the appearance of the Sim (eye color, skin tone, etc.), both genetics and as they appear, on the top right message. Ever heard of  cheat? I think this method enabled that cheat too...?  Nikel   Talk  –  Vote!  03:42, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

I tried the cheat, but it didn't work, nor was it listed in the game. I might just have to use SimPE to find the information I'm looking for. But I don't know what number codes apply to what genetics. C.Syde65 (talk) 08:19, January 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry if it's taking a while. Here's the list of cheats in my game when I entered "help" in the cheat box. Ignore the aliases; they're customized. And this is also what the SimDNA cheat would appear when you enter it.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:28, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

My list was smaller and it didn't have the SimDNA cheat on it. I haven't been able to type the SimDNA cheat in correctly, neither have I managed to use the familyfunds cheat. C.Syde65 (talk) 00:44, January 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, I know. That's because those cheats weren't available by default, and I've said that I had no idea how I enabled that. C.Syde, have you tried enabling Allmenus cheat in your game? That's the second suspect that could've enabled those cheats.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:53, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

Well the last time I checked, Remington's gender preference was -0.01 for men and 0.01 for women. And Cara's was 0.01 for men and -0.01 for women. However I may not have been looking in the original program files at the time. C.Syde65 (talk) 04:26, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

New Information RE: The Sims 2
And yes, this is related to corruption, so if you don't want to hear it then I suggest you revert this edit right now. :p

It turns out that this method of extracting in-game Sims via SimPE is incomplete - and it's incompleteness will cause neighborhood corruption! The correct instructions are here - after extracting the Sim via SimPE, you have to clone it via BodyShop. Reason being is that SimPE, along with extracting the appearance of the Sim, also takes out a chunk of character data along with it. And, of course, that will corrupt your neighborhood.

Source: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=334971&c=1&ht=&page=565&pp=25#startcomments

I guess I'll need to perform an emergency edit on Game guide:Avoiding corruption, since I linked to that incomplete method.

Repo Men
If you really have to fine, but can you at least keep some of the information I added (including their thumbnails) even if you don't think they should have different pages. C.Syde65 (talk) 21:35, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to put it but I think that there should at least be some degree of information about the individual Repo Men even if they aren't important enough to have their own seperate pages. They could just have their articles merged, and they obviously don't belong on the same page as the Repo Man as an NPC. C.Syde65 (talk) 00:41, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

I've added the thumbnails to the Repo Man page the same way as the Social Worker thumbnails are on the Social Worker page. Now all someone has to do is to decide what to do with those individual Repo Men pages. C.Syde65 (talk) 20:52, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, maybe not all information I contribute is important enough. But you can't always tell that. I just write up information that I think people might what to know. But if some things aren't important enough that's okay. That's obviously how we become better editors. C.Syde65 (talk) 22:00, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

Hair Lengths
What do you mean Talin Deppiesse's hair isn't short. What you think is short and what I think is short are probably two totally different types of short. If a male Sim has hair in a helmet cut - like Vidcund Curious - I tend to put them in the short hair category. True, Vidcund's hair is quite long for a male, but compared to Bella Goth's hair, it is quite short. When I sort Sims by hair lengths I think about hair lengths in general. This means that if someone has hair like Vidcund, I say that his hair could still be much longer than it is already. I guess I can't argue that Ripp Grunt has medium length hair. But what about Mercutio Monty and Sullivan Buckingham? What category are most people likely to put them in? C.Syde65 (talk) 22:11, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

I consider Gabriel Green to have medium length hair. But considering that his hair is long for a male, I guess he could go in the long haired category. C.Syde65 (talk) 03:53, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Template Configuration Changes Coming
Hello,

In order to improve site performance and guarantee site health, Wikia has decided to lower the maximum number of templates that can be transcluded into a page. Even if the templates are fairly straight forward, pulling them into a page can still be a technically costly process when the number of transcluded templates reaches the hundreds of thousands. Wikia is thus setting the limit at 300,000 template transclusions, a number that 99.99% of pages on our network fall below.

That said, some of the pages that are above 300,000 transclusions exist on this particular wiki. Once this limit is changed, pages which are "above" the limit will display an error on the page where the 300,001st template call is made.

General suggestions for effectively curtailing the number of templates on these pages is to divide the page into appropriate subpages or possibly to combine a number of templates together instead of reusing the same template over and over. Another common issue we see is “nested” templates (templates within templates within templates). Merging some of the code into a single, “flat” template will dramatically decrease the number of transclusions.

If you would like specific advice regarding any of these pages, feel free to leave a reply here and we will look into it further.

Here are the pages on your wiki that have template transclusions over the forthcoming limit:

Witches personality points
Are you sure that it is not revelant to add their default personalities? There may be a small chance that the game doesn't always randomize their personalities. C.Syde65 (talk) 05:17, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

They may be randomized, but I've just realized that I do recall their default personalities being kept occasionally. Still, that might not make much difference. C.Syde65 (talk) 05:25, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

I was talking about both of them, but not at the same time. I think the witches' default personalities should still be kept because it may confuse other readers. This is also because of their mis-matched zodiac signs. I am inclined to look at this situation from the same perspective as I do with townies and randomized names, even if not everyone else does.

Break Dancer images
I'm just wondering how all three Break Dancer pictures are meant to be kept on the wikia, if only one of them is currently being used. All three of them are of equal importance if you think about it.

Apartment Stairs
I know for a fact that there have been occasions where my Sims seem to have been unable to use the spiral stairs. Even though there is no evidence to prove that something is in their way. I'm not sure why and it doesn't seem to happen much. But it only seems to happen in my game when I'm far from expecting it. C.Syde65 (talk) 04:36, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Headshots
Nina and Dina use different lipstick in my game than the default ones. Nina's is less bright and Dina's is closer to her skintone colour.

I could always upload Nina and Dina's default thumbnails for the canon pages. Or someone else could anyway. C.Syde65 (talk) 04:55, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

Every picture I've posted on my fanon pages are fanon, except the Strangetown Bella Goth. But that's obvious, and anyway I wasn't the one who uploaded it - which again is obvious. C.Syde65 (talk) 05:25, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

I just decided to replace the original Strangetown Bella Goth image with a new one (which is the usual size, the first was smaller) for both the canon and my fanon Bella Goth pages. However the first headshot still exists on the wikipedia and it has not been deleted. C.Syde65 (talk) 05:59, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

Blonde vs. Blond

School Grade
In The Sims 2 there is a glitch where using the aging on/off cheat may prevent Sims from getting a higher grade than C+.

Renaming my page
Hi, Nikel.

I found that you renamed the page my fanon story was on. That is really page 1 of my fanon story, not a family page. I had to get all of the family information first, before I started my story, because I haven't written it yet. The information being there is important to the story. Since it is a story, I'll have to undo your edit.

WayfinderOwl (talk) 20:04, February 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's alright. I have been very busy lately with work. If I didn't get time to write the story, I was going to change it to a family page. I didn't want to have anyone expecting a story, that I might not get to write.

I noticed that you deleted the redirect Great kisser, which led to Great Kisser. The redirect appeared to have been placed for readers who fail to capitalize the first letter of the second word. It seems like a perfectly acceptable redirect to me. Is there any reason why you deleted it? K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 20:14, March 18, 2014 (UTC)

 * Oops... guess the answer is no. It's more of a convenience for those who like to type in the article name directly in the address bar. Redirects like these are very common on Wikipedia, so I thought it wouldn't do any harm to have them here as well. On the other wiki I'm admin on such redirects are almost everywhere.

Your userpage
I had a look at your userpage, and liked how you have the back ground border, and the tab things. Would you mind if I put the same on mine? (I really don't like how I have my userboxes arranged, but I don't want to remove them.) I wanted to ask first, in case you minded me sort of copying you. WayfinderOwl (talk) 03:39, March 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I will. :D WayfinderOwl (talk) 14:44, March 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * How do you stop the collasped boxes from centering all the text, and creating huge gaps between each other, when the information is hidden? No matter what coding I do, it won't stop. The only box I want centered, is the "about me" box, because I like the tabs centered. Some how I even managed to mess up the look of the templates in the tabs. WayfinderOwl (talk) 16:06, March 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, that is what I mean. Sorry if my last message was confusing. When the coding wouldn't work, I got frustrated. I tend to not make much sense when I'm frustrated. Also, for some reason the tabber template won't work properly. The templates in the tabber tabs have gone rounded rectangles, instead of how they are supposed to look. WayfinderOwl (talk) 16:32, March 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for trying. It looks much better. I was going put the tabber outside the table, but I saw on your to-do list, and it works fine inside one. If it can't be fixed, I could just have the 'about me' part out of a table. WayfinderOwl (talk) 16:45, March 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh! I'll remove it then. I don't like that title template anymore. Thank you for what you have done. You don't have to edit it any more. I'll just play around with it now that I know what the problem is, and the major problems have been fixed. Thanks again, and sorry for being a bother. WayfinderOwl (talk) 17:06, March 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Great! :) I will, when I think of something to put, instead of the old title message. I kinda like it not being there at the moment. Good to know that it might work now. WayfinderOwl (talk) 16:41, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

Userboxes
I tried making two userboxes for Gunther and Cornelia Goth, but I'm not sure the right coding to make them add catergories. I've not used them on the wiki or anything, just seen what they looked like after clicking preview. I'm not really good at all this coding stuff.

Hairstyles
I know that this message should have been posted like a couple of months ago, but I was wondering why you don't consider Sims like Abhijeet Deppiesse to have curly hair, because if he grew his hair, it would eventually be similar to Sabastian Go's hairstyle. I'm not saying it's wrong not to add them to the curly haired category, I'm just wondering why you don't think that they (or Abhijeet at least) have curly hair.

RE: Suggestion

 * Not all of them (AFAIK) have made appearances in Sim-form, and even for those that have, the articles are primarily about the living people. So far, what the people in your new category have in common is that they have contributed to the series in some way other than by appearing in Sim-form. The category name should probably reflect that, but I can't think of anything at the moment. Dharden (talk) 13:22, April 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * What I had in mind was "people who exist in real life, who may have contributed The Sims series, but not necessarily have a Sim-form". Those like Katy Perry or Avril Lavigne don't count as the article context is about the Simself, not the real person. I thought "Category:Real life people" fits?

Pet template
Hey Nikel,

I hope you don't mind, but you helped me already a lot in the past so I kinda hoped you could help me again, haha :P I have a question regarding the Pet template I adapted for the Dutch wiki.

As you can see I have a problem with the species part and I don't really know how to fix it, it could simply be that I messed up something while translating certain things, or maybe I messed some things up because some forms of coding work in English. For example the s part doesn't apply in Dutch, as in the plural of cat in Dutch is something else then adding letters on the singular form. That's actually a kind of part two of my question, could you help me out in getting those options? As in what I just explained, but also getting the option that if a cate is male it says something like; if male; male cats, if female; female cats. Because also in Dutch there's a different word for saying someone's gender is male and male cats.

I'm sorry if this explanation is kinda vague >.< I just hope you can help me and I can always explain some more (as in what I need exactly etc.)

Thanks in advance  Tiezel     (talk)     curious?   20:07, April 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your fast reply, I think the GetSpeciesCat idea sounds like the best to me, because indeed it's kinda messy. If you want to make this template it would help me a lot, as I really have no idea how to. I think I kind of understand the species and gender parameters (just correct me if I'm doing this all wrong..) but I don't have any clue how I can fit in the age parameter in this way..? Plus also the normal cats category x.x


 * So basically if the gender is male (man) the category will be Mannetjes animal, if the gender is female (vrouw) the category will be Vrouwtjes animal. A cat is a kat (plural katten), a dog is a hond (plural honden), a wolf is wolf (plural wolven), a horse is a paard (plural paarden).
 * kitten is kitten (plural kittens) puppy is puppy (plural puppy's), a foal is a veulen (plural veulens). And if it would be possible to squeeze in age somewhere as well it will be; adult is volwasse and elder will be oudere.


 * I hope this is enough information for you.. at least you'll learn some Dutch, haha! Thank you so much again  Tiezel     (talk)     curious?   18:43, April 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes that works like in English; just kittens, puppy's and veulens for the 'baby' versions and volwasse katten/honden/paarden for adults and oudere katten/honden/paarden for elders.  Tiezel     (talk)     curious?   12:43, April 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry I read your message a long time ago already but I forgot to reply. Thanks for your help, I think it's sort of normal now ;) and you were right about the 'volwassene' thing, I changed it. You know it's bad when you don't even know your own language anymore :') If you don't mind I have another question though.. I recently changed our FamilyInfobox template and now it gives a lot of extra spaces on familypages. I can't seem to find the problem though.. would you mind to take a look for me?

Wikia's Video Swap Tool
Hi there!

Though you might already know about, I thought I’d remind you about [Special:LicensedVideoSwap|Wikia’s Video Swap tool], which allows you to very easily swap out YouTube videos embedded across your community for the Wikia equivalent. It only effects YouTube videos with a matching Wikia video. Swapping out your videos for matching officially licensed Wikia videos means that the videos on your community are less likely to be taken down and rendered unwatchable.

With your approval, I can go through and make these swaps for you — if you’d rather undertake this task yourself — or if you’re uninterested entirely — just let me know! I'll likely start making some of the swaps for you in a week, so be sure to let me know as soon as you can if you'd rather not make the switch."

Thanks!

No problems on the wiki so far. Currently only two users edited the Bella and Mortimer Goth pages in the past few days.

RE: Beta old hairstyle
Apparently you said something in your message 'Unused accessories on aliens' about Romeo having a better (beta) old hairstyle. Are you suggesting that the 'Gibs hairstyle' the one Romeo has (with or without the hat) and the one Beau Broke gets as a child is an early hairstyle that they discontinued (or in this case hidden rather than removed completely)?

And are you suggesting that the 'Gibs hairstyle' is an early version of the hairstyle John Burb has in the Sims 2? Because if you are, how does a person know that the hairstyles are early ones?  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 00:18, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

Bot account
Have you considered getting a bot for yourself? I was looking through recent changes and noticed that you were updating category links manually... that's the sort of job that bot could more easily and quickly do, plus it would have the added benefit of not flooding the list of recent changes :p My bot uses AutoWikiBrowser (AWB), which is a pretty easy bot to learn and to use. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 19:56, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Non-LiR speaking. No, you don't need to be registered to use AWB - you need to be registered or a sysop to use it on Wikipedia, but there are no requirements on other MediaWiki installations. I personally can't figure out how to use AWB (though oddly I can use the cleanup app on Vada, which is slightly similar to AWB but far more limited in its capabilities). Anyways, you can look towards LiR for bot-tasks, or you can ask Lab once he gets back from vacation, since he seems to be the genius at bot-making here. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 16:04, June 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Lab uses different software which I don't know anything about. I chose to use AWB because it's relatively easy to learn and you don't need programming knowledge to run it correctly. As K6ka said, you don't need to register to use it, but it's usually customary to create a new Wikia account for your bot... if you don't do this, then you should be sure to set a bot flag on your account in Special:Userrights. If you don't want to do this, though, my bot is certainly at your disposal. What kinds of changes did you need to make yet? --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 16:50, June 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clearing it out, guys. I don't have time to learn about or set up a bot at the moment, but I do want to consider having one. Also, I'd definitely do the user right trick next time. I've seen LiR doing it several times already.


 * @LiR: If you check Category:Types of NPCs, some categories don't follow the naming convention, i.e. Category:Delivery People and Category:Police Officers.
