RE: Merging tattoo Artist
No, let's wait with that. A wiki is not a democrazy. We like it better if we can discuss things and come to some sort of solution. Some people are against, some are for and sometimes we can reach a compromise. Votes are only used if there's good arguments on both sides and none of them will budge.

Grats on rollback
Grats on become a rollback user! Duskey ( talk ) 21:01, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think you missed much, but try taking a look in The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal, stuff's always going on there. Duskey ( talk ) 21:03, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Era template
You should check out Template talk:Era before adding that template to everything. As you can see the icons do not look pretty where they are and they're too big and adding the era template to all our articles is a LOT of work. It also breaks if a sitenotice is up, so don't add it to more articles until we fix the kinks. Duskey ( talk ) 22:44, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. At the moment the icons it places on the right side of the screen are too big and "clip" into the horizontal line. Until now we've only used the template to mark featured articles and protected pages, which is fine since that only leaves a small star or padlock on the page, but these newly added icons are stil too big.
 * Also, if we add them on a few pages, it means we'll have to add them to all pages in order to be consistent, which means ALL articles will need the era template, depending on which game they're about. It's a nice addition, but with over 5,000 articles, it'll be quite a lot of work. Therefor we'll need alot of editors to do it, but not enough people are aware of the template.
 * Lastly, the template is not very good. If you see the screenshot I added, you can see that whenever we add a sitenotice, which is a message seen at the top of the wiki on all pages, the icons aren't moved down with the rest of the page, meaning they'll just float in mid-air.
 * We'll need to adress all these issues before we can implement the era template fully. I hope this helped clear up the confusion. Duskey ( talk ) 23:05, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Admin Requests ?
There's a list of minimum requirements on The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship though it may be a bit old. Admin requests are unfortunately closed at the moment and we're discussing whether they should be open again. Duskey ( talk ) 14:08, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, the only thing an admin has over a regular editor are some small buttons, such as 'rollback' (which rollback users also have) 'delete' and 'move file' (normal editors can move articles, but not files). Perhaps you should be on the lookout for vandalism and spam, to test the rollback button, though we do not get it often. You can also try the rollback button in our The Sims Wiki:Sandbox to see how it works.
 * If you're worried about your spelling, try to improve your english either by having a dictionary handy or looking up words you don't know the spelling to on the net. Using the preview button and re-reading your post, checking for errors is always a good idea, even for small and trivial posts.
 * you can probably right click, then click check spelling-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 15:05, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Archiving
Hi GG (can I call you GG?) I see you recently cleaned up your talk page. You should create an archive instead. See Help:Archiving talk pages. Archiving talk pages is great 'cause you can find old discussions there. The Sims Wiki uses Template:Archive and Template:Archive navigation for them. You don't HAVE to, it's just a good idea so you won't ever loose some information. Duskey ( talk ) 20:21, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure. You simply cut the text you want to archive from your talk page and paste it on a new page eg.  and place Template:Archive at the top of the new page to let people know they shouldn't be editing it. Then you place Template:Archive navigation at the top of this talk page with the first parameter as a link to the new archive page eg.  . I hope this explains it a bit better. You can always check my talk page and archives to see how I did it. Duskey ( talk ) 20:13, September 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I moved the page for you, it's meant to be a sub-page of your talk page. -- Duskey talk 02:46, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Molly French
Why did you undo my edit to Molly French? Her in-game preferences do not appear match the speculation in the article, however her relationships may work out. I do not wish to get involved in an edit-war over this, but you could have at least given a reason for the reversion. --vom 11:23, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh ! I thought better and I will delete that information and put your edit, I deleted you're edit because in my game I found her allways with lesbian and heterosexual relationships, but that may not happen in all games so thanks, I will delete that ! Continue you're good Work =) Guilherme Guerreiro 11:27, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem, looks like it was just a miscommunication then! I found this out using the NRaas Master Controller package, which can dig out some of the information that e.g. SimPe would do in Sims 2. According to Master Controller (I can't vouch for its accuracy, but have no reason to believe it isn't reliable) her preferences are 1000 male/-1000 female, which seems to be normal for heterosexual sims as far as I can see; though as the game progresses this can change depending on how their relationships develop and who with. A casual browse through the neighbourhood suggests most have prefs of 0/0 for male/female respectively, which I found surprising, so it's possible that this figure isn't quite as significant as I'd thought anyway! Cheers. :) --vom 11:35, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry but what is the master controller? Thanks vey much ;)Guilherme Guerreiro 11:40, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's an add-on package that adds a means of querying and changing all manner of information about characters and other objects in game; it adds a new menu option when left-clicking on the thing in question. It's really rather handy for those of us who can't resist tinkering! You can find it here - download links for both the package and its documentation are at the bottom of the first post. --vom 11:51, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * But is this for The Sims 3 or 2, can we edit gender preference or name or family tree it is just like a SimPE? Thanks


 * It's for Sims 3, and it does allow you to change preferences, names, traits and pretty much everything else. Personally I'm just interested in prying, but those of a more creative disposition can be pretty much as creative as they like! --vom 19:25, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, I may have to eat my words here: it seems that the sims' preferences aren't set in stone but initialised at the beginning of a new game, so they could go in any direction (or just stay neutral). Unfortunately I've no idea what determines their preferences or if it's just a dice-roll, but I have to retract my comment about her apparent inclinations as being just an example of "that's how it is in my game", however much I thought otherwise at the time. Fortunately I started a new game with AwesomeMod's "InformOnStoryAction" enabled which reveals that there's rather more going on than I'd assumed. I hate having to admit I may be wrong, but I figure it's better than keeping quiet about it! --vom 17:10, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry but where is the link to downlad master controller in that site I didn't see it =(. Guilherme Guerreiro 17:15, September 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's here: I admit it took me a while to find it as well! Good add-on, but his links could be a bit clearer. :D --vom 17:30, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Can You fix
The problem appears to be that the redirects to the proper image aren't redirecting when the page loads, but only when the link is clicked. Dharden (talk) 12:31, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fixed. Turns out it was Family3 which I had forgotten to update. -- Duskey talk 11:06, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Images?
Don't worry, I will add the images later. I effectively have simPE (if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to know the english names of the Sims, since I play the french version), and I'll be glad to add as many headshots as I can. I just sometimes forget about it...

Speaking of headshots, I observed that you often uploaded mant headshots of Sims 3 Sims (the ones like Bessie Biller's, for example). I just wondered if you could tell me how you took them, since I'm unable to take them myself. These are of a way better quality than mines. Thanks, JM9193 20:30, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

I understood it very well, however I have some trouble to upload the one of Marigold: I try to remplace my old one with the new one, but the old one is remaining. I tried several times, but it never worked. Sorry.JM9193 14:49, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry, I will add some when I've time... Not this evening since it's already late and I have not enough time to play, but I will :).

By the way, what's the name of the Riverview repo-woman in your game? Her french name is Sharon Timéo, but I don't know if it's the same name than in english since the 'é' doesn't appear in english. If her portuguese name (I suppose you play sims in portuguese since your user page indicates that you are from this country) ressembles to it, perhaps is her english name Sharon Timeo... I know this is silly, but perhaps would it help me to find her name. Sorry for the disturbing... JM9193 18:43, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

I do not think that my headshots are better than yours. They are done the same way! This would be odd.

I don't know if you have the same problem than me, but export the sims to the launcher takes an entire eternity. I had to wait 1 hour to export the eight I just uploaded... A bit long... :). I hope you don't have that problem... JM9193 18:43, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE Candidates for Deletion
I effectively think that Alan and Bobby are generated babyssitters (as well as Thad Clayton). When I searched for NPC's in the three towns, I had come to the conclusion that there are 2 Npcs per group: 1 male and 1 female (except for the social workers: 2 bring adopted children home, two are taking the neglected ones away). If this is right, Alana Churchill and Bobby Clemens are effectively generated. Moreover, I didn't saw them when I used "make me know everyone" on the mailbox (testingcheatsenabled true must be activated). And Alana has no "customized" clothes. JM9193 19:22, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

This is odd. Perhaps should I search again in Sunset Valley and verify if there's a Thad Clayton. But I'm almost sure there was no Alana and no Bobby.JM9193 19:31, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Patch problem
I have no idea how to fix it or what might be causing it. Try the offical Sims 3 help site or maybe other people have similar problems. Try other Sims sites, especially forums to see if someone else is experiencing the same. -- Duskey talk 04:11, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

About warning other users
I see that you left a message on Isabel 123456's talk page informing her that she should "be more careful or [she] maybe blocked forver [sic] ." While you are allowed to warn other users on their talk pages (except through the use of the warning template), you should avoid making statements such as "if you don't stop, you'll be blocked," because you don't have the power to issue blocks. A better response might be "if you don't stop, your actions will be reported to the administrators, and they may block you." Ideally, any sort of continued bad activity should be referred to an administrator. Thanks! -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 14:46, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Admin Request
Oh, I'm sorry I never answered your question on my talk page! I forgot it was even there. Anyways, I think you have contributed a lot and you're dedicated. The only concern I really have is your use of English. However, that's something that you can improve and people here (myself included) are always willing to help you learn the language better - you seem to have a pretty good grasp of it already, my guess is that you're probably lacking a bit in understanding figures of speech, but that's normal. So, if admin applications were being accepted, I would definitely support you. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 20:20, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * The thing I notice most regarding your English is that it's pretty clear you're not a native speaker of it... but if I read what you're saying, I understand most (if not all) of it.


 * For example, on my talk page you said "I do not have a very good English but I think I much better than I was in start of wiki because what I didn't understand here I searched for the meaning!" If I, being a native English speaker, were to write that sentence, it would read something like this: "I don't speak very good English, but I think I am much better than I was when I joined the wiki. When I didn't understand what someone said here, I searched for the meaning!" Fortunately, the issues are mainly in the flow of your words and they don't make it much more difficult to understand the point you're trying to make. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 21:22, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just out of curiosity, what is your native language? Also, about how long have you been learning/speaking English? I know that English is an important world language, so I think you being active on this wiki is certainly beneficial to you, as talking with proficient and native English speakers may help you improve your own skills. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 21:29, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for butting in. I'm not a native english speaker myself either, but I learned it from playing computer games at a young age and from watching English TV shows and movies, so you're probably going in the right direction if you're gaming some :) -- Duskey talk 09:52, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Amy Star
How do you know Amy Star is a vampire? In the article she's the victim and if you mean she turns into a vampire, then that might be "fanon" since she's not a vampire to begin with. -- Duskey talk 23:05, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
