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.

You've made an unusually large amount edits on the Sims wiki. At least compared to most of the other user pages that I've come across.C.Syde65 (talk) 03:56, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

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. (I suppose that looking should be safe as long as you don't try to change anything.) Dharden (talk) 13:42, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

Dark/Light Blue or Blue
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)


 * So I'm hearing that we put Dark/Light Blue for The Sims 2, and just Blue for The Sims 3, because I can work with that. Joey.eyeball (talk) 03:42, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Bad Drama
Drama occurred today between me and a user trying to stop this user who made much vandalism in many pages. Joey.eyeball (talk) 02:02, December 19, 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).

Please let us know what you think! ~ Waikikamukow  ( Anyone wanna chat? ) 03:35, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Muscular Sims
Yeah, I thought that would be better. I really need to get this sorted. Joey.eyeball (talk) 04:48, December 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * 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)


 * Well, there still needs to be a improvement in that area of editing. Joey.eyeball (talk) 05:55, 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)

Thanks, anyway I don't always find it easy to write statements.

Maternity Clothes
Do you know if it is possible to use SimPE to make maternity clothes available to Sims as everyday outfits, so that the maternity clothes will be shown on the Sim's thumbnail. I'd want one of my Sims to have maternity wear as an everyday outfit. C.Syde65 (talk) 05:39, December 29, 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)

Gender preference
I meant that Remington had a distaste for men and Cara for women. C.Syde65 (talk) 04:17, January 3, 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.

I was able to log in using my MTS login, but whenever I try to edit a page, it said the "Page has been protected from editing".

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:
