Suggestion
Hi again, why haven't you answer to my above questions? Forward, I suggest that we could create new type of list, this type of list would be "Sims by lifestate" this page would have the links to "List of Vampires", "List of Ghosts", etc. What's your point about this? Thanks so much. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:12, December 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. A list of aliens is already started. --a_morris (talk) 22:05, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Width of Admin Portal
Do you know why The Sims Wiki:Admin Portal is so wide? I tried going into the page itself to narrow it down, but I'm not exactly sure how. Thanks. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:09, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * On an oddly related note, can you please go to my test page and help me with figuring out #if statements (specifically related to displaying a WikiButton with custom background color on my talk page)? I've been trying any conceivable combination of text, bars and ! templates to produce the desired effect (that is, that the field be an optional field on my test page template); I've been working on it for over an hour and I have no idea what I am doing wrong and I frankly don't have the energy to continue to slave away on it, or to try and decipher this page anymore. The logic seems so basic that I feel honestly very dumb for not having figured it out by now, but I am literally clueless at this point.

Warning
The constrainFloorElavation cheat should not be featured on the List of build cheats page﻿ because it only works on some versions of the game making it not an official cheat. Homerjs 04:19, December 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * As previously cited, you removed that caveat along with the cheat: . --a_morris (talk) 04:34, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

Bot?
Since Duskey appears to have left wiki our wiki's bot is now inactive too, should we create a new bot to fulfill bot tasks? Thanks. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:20, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. I have been thinking of using a bot myself as well. --a_morris (talk) 14:21, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Did you contact wiki about this? Isn't it necessary a permission from main wiki? Thanks so much. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:37, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Riverblossom Hills
Hello i was just wondering why dont Riverblossom Hills have a Player stories page?Ellen Carli 17:35, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the Wiki and Opportunities.
A morris, I want to thank you for founding this wiki, it inspired me to start my own wiki to keep track of and properly plan my TS3 worlds. I'm still a total n00b at wiki-editing, so I have drawn a lot of my knowledge from the pages here and there are obvious similarities that I'm gradually scaling away as I learn more:

http://pasimficandbeyond.wikia.com/wiki/Pasimfic_Wiki

I hope that's not a problem. I'll be contributing here more again now that my TS3 remake of Riverblossom Hills is finally complete. The Riverblossom Hills pages here were invaluable in getting the characters' details right.

Thank you very much,

Kiwi_tea.

I accept your thanks on behalf of all editors on and hope to see you again. --a_morris (talk) 20:55, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for creating a bot, would you mind if I ask to decorate A bot's user page. Thanks --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:44, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * go ahead. --a_morris (talk) 20:55, December 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you appreciate A bot's decoration, if not feel free to change it :D. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:22, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

The Sims Series
Hey A morris, I created a table on the Main Page that has a list of the games. I tried many times to make the table collapsible, but I just can't get it to work. Do you know how to make it collapsible? — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 02:17, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Time To Give Credit Where Credit Is Due
Hey A morris! I was just struck aghast by the fact that you don't have any (well, almost) awards! Here are some you truly deserve:


 * Trophy: Achieving your and the wiki's goals


 * Desk: Your hard work


 * Smile: For being friendly all the time


 * Hat: Your skills when editing

-- BobNewbie talk • blog 17:35, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Congrats, a_morris! I was thinking in giving you awards too but Bob did it first!! Congrats, you sincerely deserve them! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:38, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Fanon wiki merge
Hi A morris. I brought up the discussion about merging with the Fanon Wiki again here. Could you read it and tell me what you think? — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 23:28, December 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Additionally, I've created a section on the Admin portal talk to find consensus among admins... your opinion there would be useful as I'm looking to get the opinions of most, if not all, of the active admin staff before this idea moves forward. You can find the section here. Thanks -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:52, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Problems with Sim template
Hi. Somewhere something is messed up to where one of the Sim templates (possibly Sim3). I tried undoing Eduardog's edit but that didn't fix the issue. The template (whichever one is bugging up) is causing the Sim's favorite food and favorite color categories to red-link to categories where the favorite item is given in lowercase instead of upper case (for example: Category:Sims that love Aqua in the "correct" set-up, to Category:Sims that love aqua in the current set-up). Since those pages with lowercase names don't exist, they show up as red links.

Sorry I can't be a little more technically descriptive, but I'm not really sure what's causing this mess or how to address it. If you need an example of what I'm saying, take a look at the pages for any Sim from TS3. -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:57, December 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have changed the Favorites to lowercase as that is the proper case when naming categories. I am also going to changing them the to Category:Sims who love aqua. I haven't gotten around to making the category changes yet. See also GetFavoritesCat. --a_morris (talk) 17:01, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

2 things
after realizing that you will not get my message because I edited someone elses question lol accident

here it is
 * You know what would be really cool? On all careers you could put a picture of the male and female uniform as another box next to the skills. And it would be nice if the grids where fixed and the description wasn's so thin.
 * thanksJr.simpson27 10:54, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * and another thing, I want to create a family tree of my sims. I downloaded the mega hood and want to connect all the families and make a family tree of it. I think it would be cool to see, and then to have myself do it, HOT DOG! lol but anyway, your family trees, how do you pull the icons of those sims? If thats to vauge Ill detail it. You have a fmaily tree of the smith's and Jenny's picture is in its respected place, that picture of her came from where in the files?
 * Thanks again Jr.simpson27 10:54, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks again Jr.simpson27 10:54, December 25, 2010 (UTC)

 * Thank you. Enjoy, yourself. --a_morris (talk) 20:25, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Community Portal
I'm glad to see you like the Community Portal redesign. I had started work on it yesterday afternoon and (thankfully) BobNewbie started working with me on it; in this case, two heads were definitely better than one, and I'm really pleased with the result, though I have made a couple changes since we went "public" with it.

My thought is that in order for the page to really live up to its potential, we need to start treating it like a hub and a resource center. That's why we added things like Community News, and a section for the poll and contest (which are off the Mainpage at the moment). Additionally, I added in a spot for community notices (I created a Community-Notice template), so if you ever have something you need to post or make known, feel free to add a message there.

I'm sure Bob and I will still be tweaking things a bit as we gather the opinions of the other users. If you see something odd or something which bugs you, feel free to join in tweaking as well! -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 21:24, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

How can I get a bot? It's for the Sims Medieval Wiki where I am an admin on, thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 23:02, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you a morris it's helping me out:). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:22, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia staff marked an account owned by me as a bot in Medieval Wiki, but I can't see what automated tasks that can do I don't have any automatic tools, I wonder if you could help me out? Because I think I'm just being dumb and not seeing what bots can do, can you help me with bot tools? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 12:30, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

Great change Propose
I want to propose you a great change on templates of sims from Sims 3 and sims 3 sections, could you please see this article in Les Sims Wiki, Cornelia Goth, I love the way it's organised, and I would like to propose that we could put images of icons for example bookworm in people who have the bookworm trait, unflirty would display for example, just an example, I think it would be good if you had images and icons in templates, can you make such definition, please tell me what you think. Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 13:01, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

We could also make the same to age, sign, sex and relationships, Les Sims Wiki has much better relationship files than what we have. Thanks --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 13:05, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

Please respond to this it's a change proposal. Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 00:54, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I like that too. I had a similar idea but it wasn't implemented. --a_morris (talk) 05:04, January 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * So what should we do? Start a discussion? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:11, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure. --a_morris (talk) 17:37, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Could you help me? I don't know how to explain this idea. Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:41, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Would you mind to give your input at community portal I've started a discussion about this issue. Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:04, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

There is something messing up with a category, could you please check this problem I've tried to fix it and I've nominated the category for deletion, also respond to my above messages. Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 01:06, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

Error 404 page
The page that comes up when a user enters an incorrect url on the wiki here's an example is out-of-date and I want to change it, but I can't find it on the MediaWiki namespace. Do you know where it is? Thanks. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 02:11, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
