Welcome
Hi, and welcome to The Sims Wiki, Nikel23 ! Thanks for your edit to the Apartment page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything about the wiki! (If you have questions about the game, please ask them in the Forum.) -- LostInRiverview (Talk) 11:23, July 6, 2010

Patch
Sadly, I'm not extremely knowledgeable about patches; I would assume, but I may be wrong, that OfB by default would include a fix for NL bugs. I took a look at the description of OfB's patch, and it covers a lot of things related to Nightlife, but it doesn't say whether it includes Nightlife's patch. Maybe try asking Duskey, the admin who does most of the work on the patches pages; he might know. Sorry I couldn't help much! -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 16:05, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * The Sims 2 patches are retroactive. That means if you install any expansion pack later than Nightlife you don't need the Nightlife patch. Same goes for the other Sims 2 pathes. I'm not 100% sure if the install order needs to be chronological, but in my experience, doing so is always a good idea. Even with The Sims 3. EA also recommends installing games in chronological order Duskey ( talk ) 10:39, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Patches and secret lots
About the M&G patch: I think so, yeah, but I'm not 100% sure. As for custom vacations lots etc. then yes I'm quite sure the secret lots are automatic. I don't know, it's been ages since I played TS2. Can always try asking in our Forum. -- Duskey talk 00:10, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Cell phones disappearing from inventory
"Note that cell phone has batteries. When a cell phone has been used for several times or several hours, it will disappear from inventory."

This appears to be an issue with Apartment Life, particularly with Sims in apartments. Dharden (talk) 14:09, September 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I remember that bug. It was fixed in the AL patch. -- Duskey talk 15:37, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nikel
Hi Nikel23! How are you? I just started my own wiki, Make Your TV wiki, and wanted to ask if you have time, please check it out. Thanks! BobNewbie talk • blog 11:47, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

Strays in Pets
I patched Pets right after I installed it, so I didn't realize that the original behavior was to always allow strays on community lots. I can understand why Maxis would change it, as I expect that it could get very annoying very quickly, but there are places where it's appropriate. Dharden (talk) 15:27, March 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thus the mod you mentioned, and Inge's "no pets" sign. (Why, oh why, couldn't Maxis have include something like the "Stray Away" sign from Unleashed?) Dharden (talk) 13:38, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Death from a sack of money
That a failed wishing-well wish for money can kill a Sim who has low motives is useful information, and information that players with Seasons may not have. It should not have been removed from Death, even though the victim technically dies from starvation rather than the blow to the head. Dharden (talk) 14:29, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * No, Death is not divided by types of ghost, and usually doesn't mention the type of ghost. What's relevant there is the event or condition that causes the Sim to die, not the type of ghost. So, while a Sim who dies after being hit on the head by a sack of money technically dies of starvation, the event which causes the Sim to die is being hit on the head by a sack of money, and that is what is relevant in Death. Dharden (talk) 03:59, March 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * What people will be looking for in a list like that is things that can kill a Sim from a gameplay perspective, not the game-mechanics aspects of how the Sim dies. It might be worth mentioning in Starvation that other things can drop a Sim's Hunger motive to the point where he or she starves. As for Death by Witch Throne, it's in the history. I can find it and put it back. Dharden (talk) 13:23, March 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I restored the Death by Snapdragon Bouquet and Death by Witch Throne sections, and tweaked the wording so it should be clearer that they kill by causing starvation. Dharden (talk) 13:47, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hi
I've fixed that problem in the central park forum. By the way, which part of Indonesia do you live? I'm from Indonesia as well. You can leave me a message on my talkpage, and I'll try to reply it as soon as possible. --Walker guy94 Talk 10:41, March 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! --Walker guy94 Talk 06:39, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Central Park
Thanks for letting me know about the vandalism to Forum:Central Park. Walker guy94 fixed it. (I'm in the eastern US, and that was a little before 6 in the morning by my clock.) Dharden (talk) 11:59, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Re: PlantSim image
I would prefer that you didn't. I think the image you want to use is a default replacement from a mod, while the one that's there is from the game. Dharden (talk) 17:16, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Images
I do not know how to add it :(, I only uploaded those pictures because I found them on another website, sorry. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:21, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes I do, you could ask to Trimalynn. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:16, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Ep Objects
I presume the lists at your sandbox pages aren't complete, because there is a lot more objects than that. The list form you've used looks a little untidy, try putting it in a table/point form, I'll try it in my sandbox when (or if) I get the time. I think we should make it in a form a bit like List of Moodlets, that is, the image of the object, albiet at a small size (I'm thinking around 35px or so), all in a table. We would then give a special section at the bottom to special objects. What do you think? --W H  (Talk) 04:35, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say include all objects, but don't include much other than title and price, what it's values are and that sort of thing. --W H  (Talk) 05:05, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Back !
Hi ! Thanks for your greeting.. and i'm glad knowing that you're also an Indonesian. I don't know much yet about customizing page in Sims Wiki, and i hope you wouldn't mind helping me some time. And.. i can't be sure if i could contribute much for Sims Wiki, remember that i haven't played The Sims for very long and i need to learn much about everything. See ya ! d.07 01:16, June 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Good evening. I know, but i think it will be really great if i could contribute something useful or.. at least edit or add information to the existing pages. I don't know, because i haven't found any potential pages to edit.. they're detailed already. Oh.. it's ok. Actually, i prefer TS3 just because i don't have any collections of TS2. TS2 is fantastic, there are so many things that can't be found in TS3, and that's one disappointing factor. Both have their plus and minus, right? I just.. haven't played TS2 for very long, so i don't know much about it. Cheers ! d.07 15:10, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, maybe i can start editing from there. I need some more observation, though. Yes, honestly TS3 is complicated than TS2, and i hate how TS3 is more faulty !! But have you really played TS3? No, this is really my first time on wikia as a user, but i've made it as one of my online resource when i get stuck playing a game. I'm more at reading people's forum than being involved in it. d.07 15:50, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * I see. Actually, i've wanted to make some sort of game walkthrough.. but never been realized, so here, i'm trying to give useful information or guide or stuff like that. Hmm, me too. I read much about TS2, because i haven't got the real taste of it. However, my friends prefer TS2 to TS3. d.07 16:44, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Haha, thanks.. but i still have to learn much here, and also i need to play the game as a trial to observe new things (no wonder why some users spend more time here than playing the game). About TS2 and TS3, everyone has their motives to prefer which is meant to be played, right? Anyway, i need help here to make a link towards ambiguous pages. Thanks ! d.07 01:26, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * This new layout kinda confuse me, lol. How to create a link towards ambiguous page, i mean.. if there are e.g. 3 pages contain the same topic but different in meaning. Thank youu..d.07 01:44, June 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * All right.. i once edited the Potion page, and i wanted to link the word 'bar' to the right page here, because there are 2 pages discuss about bar in TS3-LN. Please help, thank you.d.07 02:06, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ahh.. splendid !! Thank you very much. I actually have tried the method, but i think i misspelled the link. Haha.. thank you, once again ! By the way, i'd like to know where do you live? d.07 06:13, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Umm. It's quite faraway. Thanks, but i think your English is much more better, dude. No.. actually, i'm trying hard to avoid any typos, and it quite takes time even just to post something. About grammar.. i don't think so, i don't care much about my grammar, cause i believe those native English people would pardon English learner's grammar, *grin*. Have you taken any English courses? d.07 06:35, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm perfectionist too, depends on condition, though. Not really, i just want to fix many things before my absence tomorrow. There are still lots i want to fix, but my internet usage for this month has exceeded its max, haha. Yep.. i will think about making IRC channel soon. d.07 07:03, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's good for all of us then. Yes, the connection becomes slower, but the main problem is if my parents know i'm exceeding the internet too much. That would be dreadful, and i may get into trouble again. Thank you, i hope you will have nice holiday even though you're not going out somewhere. See ya later ! d.07 08:04, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Blog
It all seems fine now. I have noticed there's been problems like blogs not showing up for me too, you just have to wait a little bit and they'll be all good. --W H  (talk) 05:04, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

Your edit to Pleasantview
In editing the families section as you did, you removed information that could be useful to players. Therefore, your edit has been undone. Dharden (talk) 12:33, June 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * On the other hand, having subsections for families on lots and families in the bin is a good idea, and is more noticeable than a blockquote note that some families are in the bin. I put that back in. Dharden (talk) 12:43, June 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sure. There's often room for improvement, but just inserting the family-bio text isn't necessarily an improvement, and may be a disimprovement. Besides, anyone who wants to read that text can click through to the family article. Dharden (talk) 16:29, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

Era template
Well, the first image isn't the Era template. However, I'm working on a solution for the problem shown in the second image. —Random Ranaun (Talk to me! ) 03:28, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Aspiration Images
In this case it's not supposed to take away the background of the aspiration files and make them appear transparent as they are like that in-game and there's no need to do it, please do not replace the aspiration images. Thank you! -- Guilherme Guerreiro ( talk here ) 08:49, July 2, 2011 (UTC)

Hi.. long time no see ! My vacation? Hmm.. it was really exciting, but also the weariest vacation i've ever had that i was forced to sleep really late every night ''*sigh*. ''Whaa.. my cat? Thanks.. if you think he's the cutest, then you're normal. All the people said so ^^. I think you should ask your mom.. cats are the cutest animal ever, and they're loyal too (less loyal than dogs, however). d.07 14:15, July 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Really? What kind of cats are your neighbor has? No.. i don't really have sleep problem or such, it was just.. my cousins were getting married and i had to aid them, omg. Anyway about Generations, yeah.. it's really good but not that surprising. I like how EA added many features of improved generations, which means.. family-oriented players are tested here. d.07 15:02, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Wew, they look cute already, in my mind ^^ !! How many cats do your neighbor has? I have family-oriented trait, but i don't like family aspiration. Romance aspiration? No comments, it sucks! Yep, you're right.. but i like the new stuff, hairstyle, and clothing this EP gives. d.07 15:31, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh man.. that's a pity. Really. It will be better, i think, if your neighbor just sell some than let them be strays like that. Yes, that would be good, but that means more PC memory space needed. I would like it more, if EA would really fix bugs and glitches from existing EP. I found that patches didn't do really well. All right, see ya later. d.07 15:56, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi again! Yes, it's actually fine, but i believe the game would need some more space due to the improved gameplay. And also, adding new things isn't always an easy work, right? What do you think it should be? TS3: Animals? TS3: Strays, eh? LOL. I'm not going to play this TS3: Pets, anyway. Hmm.. yes, you're right :'( . Even when my little hamster dying, it was so hard looking for hamster vets around town. d.07 05:18, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's my brother.. he won't let me install TS3: Pets, nor any coming EPs of TS3. I want it so badly, you know, hahaha. Hmm yeah.. but i love my pets too much, hehehe. Well, how come the offspring becomes a calico? I'm wondering how the offspring's father look like. d.07 11:17, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hahahaa.. it's truly typical to most cats, isn't it? He's just trying to survive himself, maybe. No, we both use this only shared PC. This PC is actually referred to me, since he has his own laptop. But.. he has a part-time job, so.. basically, this PC has been customized mostly by him. The hard disk, softwares, and almost all were bought by him. That's why he feels like he has more authorization. d.07 12:13, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Right, i forgot to tell you that i found, sometimes, female cats tend to be shy. There's exception, though, that my very first female cat was interested in making trouble with other stray cats. I don't know.. but i wish so. d.07 23:52, July 3, 2011 (UTC)



Battles issues
I don't know if they are the same person, but I may try to see what's going on with these two accounts. The same person voting one more time in Battles, is not acceptable, so I'll try to deal with them later. Thanks for making me aware of it ^_^! -- Guilherme Guerreiro ( talk here ) 16:19, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Signature Testing
 Nikel  (Talk to  me!)

for me, the first signature is better than the second one. but the talk to me in the second signature color is too bright. its little hard to read it with this white background Wir.wiryawan 09:04, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

for me, now the talk to me botton now is too dark.... lol try sea blue for the nikel wordWir.wiryawan 09:21, July 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello! Hey, though i'm late, i want to congratulate you for the 1,000 edits you've made! Good job, dude! Your signature is awesome, and i agree with Wir.wiryawan, the first one looks much better (you arranged it very well). Btw, what's the "Absent" notification doing on your profile? You aren't 'really' absent, are you? --d.07 02:42, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm.. you can modify the second one, maybe? I didn't say it looks bad, the first one's just better for me. Ohhh.. i'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully your dad would give you the money ;-). I have bad news too, my internet usage this month has really exceeded its max.. you know, this is just too early. Now, i'm trying to figure everything out, even if it means i have to pay the excess with my money :'(. I gotta go now.. i will reply your message later, maybe this noon d.07 03:08, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my mom asked me to do chores *sigh*. Well, yes.. my dad and mom got very angry too. I don't think my brother would. He claims Speedy is better, because for him.. the speed is everything. I haven't known much about IM2, does it have particular limit? I will go offline now--i have work to do, so maybe you will receive my reply this evening. See ya. d.07 05:45, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's GB, i suppose :-D. Ach so..then, why don't you talk to your brother and ask him to change it like before? Yep, you're obviously right.. haha. Anyway, when your school holiday ends? My school starts on this coming Monday.. *sigh* d.07 07:09, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Never mind, as long as it's unlimited, right? Oh.. public schools in Bandung still take holiday 'till next week's Monday. Hahaha.. i hate it as well, but even in TS.. school is a must for any teen Sims, right? Do you know, i was confused with the words 'lalod' and 'cacad' you used. I thought they're new English vocabs, LOL. d.07 09:03, July 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes.. hahaha, but i never heard any of those. I usually write 'cacad' as 'cacat', yeah.. almost similar. Thank you :D :D, but it needs space and sure breaks the alignment. What? What did you say? Sign_ver1.png(Let's talk!)  (Blog)  01:15, July 10, 2011 (UTC)

Check her/him out! --(Let's talk!)  (Blog)  09:05, July 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * No.. no, that's fine. Your idea is great. I think i should have made another one by the regular script and wiki markup. And i need you to help me, cause i'm hopeless with making template ;-). Man, that's unfortunate. I think i will be semi-absent for some time too, during my school time. All right, i'll see you around! Sign_ver1.png(Let's talk!)  (Blog)  16:57, July 12, 2011 (UTC)

RE: TSS object only
yes, there is many object that created for the sim stories only. paintings, decorations, stereos, careers, and bulid mode walls and tiles. the sims castaway stories have the most of them. example: carudion, holy grail, bed, hyena skin, and crashed air plane. --Wir.wiryawan 12:57, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * some people try to extract that object to the sims 2 and 90% extracted. i have download the object long time ago, but sadly now all the download link all dead! if you want, i still have the backup but it need a lot of time to upload it --Wir.wiryawan 13:17, July 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * the cc from that is safe and dont cause any harm. some of them i extract my self with simpe. about house, the premade neighborhood there can be imported to the sims 2 but it must be fixed because i can make your game crash. i have try to fix four corners 60% completed then i stop. i dont have a time because i am working now.Wir.wiryawan 13:35, July 17, 2011 (UTC)

The Sims Stories
I know that this is probably none of my business, but in TSPS there is no elder life stage. When your Adult Sim is close to death you get a pop-up saying that your Sim should spend their last days happily so that they can go in peace. This is also in Castaway Stories, only in there there is an Elder life stage. Vss2eip 09:21, July 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * There's more, in The Sims Castaway Stories you can't place lots and then build houses on them. You can just play on and build on exising lots. Also in all three games you can't build neighborhoods. Vss2eip 09:27, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Personally, if you are planing to buy a game from these series, buy Castaway Stories. Pet Stories is also awesome too, but not that unique as Castaway Stories. Vss2eip 09:31, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Lots in Castaway Stories are placed random in an island. To travel somewhere you have to use the island map, or the travel portal located on every lot. Vss2eip 09:35, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Traveling is like going to another lot in The Sims 2. Only there is no taxi. The travel portal are mainly two torches (lighted) and between it just grass... I wanted also to say that not even one object in Castaway Stories appeared in The Sims 2. And also to use bath-tubs and toilets you need to place water towers and to listen to the radio or play on a video game you need a windmill with an electric genereator. Sorry for the long text. Vss2eip 09:44, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Vss2eip 09:57, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * To put my custom signature I have to use a template which is on my profile. To get there it just takes time and I don't want you to think I'm avoiding you or something. It's just easier to use the normal one. Vss2eip 10:02, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * The thing is that I don't have any idea to make a template. Should I copy one from another wiki or...? Vss2eip 10:09, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't like to waste you're time like this but if you can I would be very thankful. Vss2eip 10:17, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Whatever you think is best. Again thank you for doing this to me so much! If you need any help from contact me on my talk page. Again, thanks! i have to go now. I'll be back later. Vss2eip 10:29, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
