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)
