Safely transferring saved game data
According to Nikel, you might be able to answer this question for me as you normally seem to know this technical stuff better. You can view the original question and answers that made me write this message on this page.

Here is my plan to safely be able to transfer my saved game files over to another computer. On my current computer I have Nightlife, Open for Business, Apartment Life, Celebration! Stuff, Fashion Stuff, Kitchen &amp; Bath Interior Design Stuff and Home Stuff.

Will I safely be able to transfer my saved game files over if I do this?


 * Install Sims 2
 * Install Nightlife
 * Install Open for Business
 * Install Apartment Life
 * Install Celebration! Stuff
 * Install H&M Fashion Stuff
 * Install Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff
 * Install IKEA Home Stuff
 * Overwrite neighbourhoods package files with the one from my current computer.
 * Install University
 * Install Pets
 * Install Seasons
 * Install Bon Voyage
 * Install Free Time
 * Install Family Fun Stuff
 * Launch Apartment Life

Again you probably won't understand what I'm trying to ask you without looking at my questions on the Expansion Packs talk page.  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 22:06, May 1, 2014 (UTC)

So does that mean I should follow the instructions I wrote for myself, or do my instructions need to be re-written?  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 02:53, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

Again, I should mention that I don't currently have University, Family Fun Stuff, Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage and Free Time installed on my current computer. Are you suggesting that I should re-install my expansion and stuff packs in release order and then copy my saved game files over (even though my saved game files lack any content from the five expansion packs and one stuff pack I mentioned)?

The reason why I'm asking is that I've previously had problems with expansion packs where you install some expansion packs, and then you install one of the previous expansion packs. The game may be unable to properly show the content from the expansion pack in question (such as furniture, Witch Doctor mask, hairstyles and clothes etc).

I think the thing to do with is block first, then undo the vandalism. It seems pretty clear that whoever-this-is has no intention of making constructive edits. Dharden (talk) 01:40, May 6, 2014 (UTC)

Abandoned Fanons
I was going through the policies, just to remind myself of them. I still wasn't sure about the duration of time between page creater's last edit and when it is considered abandoned. That was never exactly made clear. How much time has to pass, before a fanon is marked abandoned? WayfinderOwl (talk) 21:26, May 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, makes sense. I thought I'd ask, because I'm going to be really busy for a couple of months later this year, and didn't want my fanons to be abandoned or deleted in my absense. I'll have to mark them as complete when that happens then. WayfinderOwl (talk) 21:34, May 7, 2014 (UTC)

Stub Articles/Fanon(?)
Hello k6, I saw some new pages created by Helloforgoodbyes 4 days ago (sorry for not updating for you or the admins) and I'm just wondering that are they pre-made Sims in Roaring Heights? And they have a little information about them and I think these are stubs. The links are here: [1], [2], [3].  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  10:21, May 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok then, I though it's a fanon, I'll edit the Morgans but only adding a template.  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  11:02, May 14, 2014 (UTC)

Checking up
Hi K6ka! :) How have you been doing? I've been so busy these days, and I think I couldn't catch up with things in the wiki until tomorrow evening. I just wanted to check up with things here. Is there anything happening recently? With the recent CAS trailer of The Sims 4, I thought we might be flooded with information especially in Bella Goth and Mortimer Goth, but I don't know. I haven't checked. I hope things are doing well here! See you tomorrow, hopefully!  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:48, May 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks for the news! I always kept telling myself to be skeptical about The Sims 4 but the CAS video made me excited for no reason! I was disappointed in a lot of things, and I knew a CAS video isn't enough to make up for it, but I just got excited... geez. Anyway, good luck for the training again!

Career2 Parameter for Sims Infobox?
How does the "career2" parameter for the Sims Infobox work? I noticed it on the Sim template, but when I tried to do something with it, nothing seemed to happen. Icemandeaf (talk) 21:38, May 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm... Is it possible that it doesn't carry over to Sim2? Because I tried several variations of using both career and career2, and nothing in career2 would show no matter what I did for career.


 * I just looked into it and sure enough it isn't there. Interesting. Icemandeaf (talk) 21:56, May 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * So if I had a retied sim who had a part time job, it wouldn't be possible to put both? Icemandeaf (talk) 22:04, May 19, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, I think I see what you mean. It looks like career is for Sims 2 careers and career2 is for Sims 3. Icemandeaf (talk) 22:08, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

Hello k6ka, I just finished creating an article about Dream Pod. See here: Dream Pod (under construction) This is just a test yet.

Spam filter
FWIW The filter was working for me before the changes you made; it was preventing me from editing with that string. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 00:02, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * I just tested it again; the filter works the same as before now, except that it exempts sysops, so I had to demote myself in order to test it. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 00:07, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * In this case, it wouldn't have mattered, since the filter isn't set to block users that trigger it, only disallow the edit. -  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 00:29, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * No, they're completely different flags. You can be a bureaucrat without being a sysop. Non-sysop bureaucrats have access to User Rights management but can't do normal sysop tasks (delete, block, etc) and aren't treated as sysops by MediaWiki. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 00:34, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * For further information... bureaucrat flags apparently allow me to block/unblock users (presumably so I can unblock myself if necessary) but I can't delete or protect pages. So, it seems that most (but not all) sysop rights are exclusive to that flag and not shared with bureaucrats unless they also hold the sysop flag. -  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 00:41, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * That page is deliberately simplified. While technically a bureaucrat needs sysop flags to act as a sysop, in actual practice bureaucrats almost always have sysop flags anyways, so they practically are equivalent to a regular sysop when it comes to performing administrative tasks. Explaining the relationship between sysop and bureaucrat is complicated and confusing, so that page is written to gloss over the issue a little, since the point we're trying to reinforce is that sysops and bureaucrats are equal to each other when it comes to acting as admins. -  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 00:55, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

When I changed it, all of the users with Slovakia userboxes were not appear in the Category:Users/Slovakia and instead they're appeared in the Category:Users/COUNTRY. I'll remake it again if you can delete those three.  .ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  | ''' (my mistakes)  10:21, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

 * Okay. Then I guess we leave them for now. And also, I think it is impossible, in my thoughts, to rename a category page, since there is no "Rename" option and it says "Permission error" when I tried it. :|  .ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  | ''' (my mistakes)  11:04, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Which NPCs are safe to play as
I noticed that you moved the DJs back to the category for NPCs that are considered to be dangerous. But there's a DJ that I've been using for ages and nothing bad has happened.

I converted one of the DJs - Amin Graham into a Townie for my game, and so far, the game has treated him as a regular townie - no signs of coruption.

Clearly my information and experience contradicts yours, so I remain unconvinced. Exactly how do you know - or rather what makes you suspect that DJs aren't safe to be made playable?  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 01:32, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

Ah yes, I get it now. Some players seem to believe that DJs aren't safe because they can't be made playable without cheats. I think once they have been made playable, the game just sees them as Sims, or townies if the player moves them into the townie bin.

I certainly haven't experienced any problems with DJs.  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 01:38, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

I forgot to say that the reason I removed them rather than shifting them was because I didn't see the list of townies and NPCs that are safe to make playable.  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 01:41, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

True, and it's possible to meet the Social Worker without cheats!  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 01:54, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

Changing the page layout
Hey k6, I've been thinking that we shouldn't change the page layout that we decided. Because if we add some more of it, it would end up like this. I check too to add the TS3 toilet page layout, but it was still the same as I show. I think that each articles have limitations in this.  .ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  |  (my mistakes)  13:07, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Apologies for butting in (and for not being able to catch up with things due to my absence), but... is that what would happen if a page uses too many infobox templates? If so, then it's a real mess. Also, is this a new discussion or continuation of an old discussion? I want to know the original one.


 * I... really don't think we need to list every single chair that exists in the game. I mean, look at this! Each chair has no significance to each other, so what's really the point of listing them all? I think we should find an alternative for this. I certainly don't want chairs to have their own separate page for each game. What will even be written there?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:26, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

 * Well, I'm thinking that maybe we could just find the thumbnail of each chair and add it to the page using tag, but then again, I feel like it's really pointless... Certain items in the series are just too insignificant to be singled out.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:32, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

RE: A notice
Okay I guess I was being tricked into becoming a little too sympathetic. It was actually very convincing that she's not an outright vandal - I'm not sure what to believe but I do agree that she does not deserve to come back. I'm not sure how she'll manage but if the admins keep her away, then at least they should find a better solution or contact wiki staff to ensure that she doesn't come back. Otherwise she'll just continually create sockpuppets.

Also I have no idea why she even bothers coming here, when she has her own fanon Sims wiki. I've taken a look at her website but as far as I'm concerned, it isn't in very good shape. It's hard to know whether ILS5 is - a user who is desperate for another chance and deserves to return to the Sims wiki, or a user who is deliberately making unconstructive edits (and should have seen her indefinite block coming). --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 20:24, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Image from Teen
I'm not sure how it should be handled, but the same WC just removed the same image from the teen page that was taken down and placed back yesterday.

Opposing my nomination

 * If this is what it feels like to be opposed then it’s not so bad. To be honest I’m actually pleased that you haven’t supported my nomination, because it indicates where I’m going wrong. I'd rather be opposed for a good reason than be supported for "nothing". And it's better than simply leaving the discussion page empty.
 * While most people normally take time over their edits, I am always in a rush because I feel that I have a mountain of things to do and I just want to get them all done. As a result I often forget to add several bits of information, so then I have to go back and type in the information that slips out of my mind - by which time other editors may already have noticed.
 * I often tend to do what many consider to be "A rough job which needs to be polished". I remember making an edit on a page, and another editor came along and tried to improve the grammar of my edit - but in doing so they re-wrote the opposite to what I had intended.
 * I have made many mistakes, most of which I am unlikely to repeat - but then there's always a new generation of mistakes, in addition to those mistakes that had no one else pointed them out to me, I would never have noticed.
 * Also when others try to explain things to me, I'm in too much of a hurry to actually take the time to consider and understand what they've said. This explains why I often misinterpret advice - such as "taking a step back and think a little bit deeper about what you're doing". Instead I might think of it as "wasting my time thinking about this when I could be jumping ahead to something else".
 * Naturally I'm often under the impression that nothing is wrong which is why I express my confidence and experience whilst failing to notice any advice. Instead I might see it as discouragement.
 * I can't see myself making any severe mistakes with those administrative tools but with those other mistakes, it doesn't look good. And of course a person can't always predict what they might or might do wrong. Recently I saw a nomination for administration-ship and thought "why has no one nominated me"? The answer was soon to be there waiting.
 * I'm unlikely to repeat those mistakes "blanking a page" or "making false assumptions regarding a certain user and their sockpuppets". And before I understood the concept of archiving a talk page, I removed some messages in order to show myself in a better light. Or back then I just didn’t want my talk page flooded. But that still doesn't mean that the 'charges' have been cleared...yet.
 * Now that I'm aware of these mistakes, I'm sure I can learn from them, and spend more time on things rather than jumping ahead. With that, I'll develop into a much better editor at a remarkably quick pace - being a quick learner.

I have left similar comments on LiR and Lab's talk pages, while most of the above has been written as a response to your particular message about whether I was ready to become an admin. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 07:13, June 25, 2014 (UTC)

A couple of things
I noticed that you were doing some block notice test pages under your user name. I have always wondered if the borders should be rounded like everything else seems to be, so I looked at the coding. I noticed there were some coding for rounding just like the family templates did. I think that the newer browsers are no longer supporting -moz-border-radius and -webkit-border-radius, but using border-radius. I didn't edit your test pages to add that code because it is under your user page, but I thought you might want to be aware of that because there are more and more newer browsers viewing the wiki now.

The other thing I wanted to ask was related to blocking. (Thanks for the link to the information about it because it really helped me understand it more, though it might still be a while before it all sinks in.) What is the typical length of blocking? I noticed you gave 1 week to an IP last week, and then the IP repeated vandalism, and you gave a 2 week block. What is it after that? And are all first blocks 1 week? Or is there some things that merit a different length? - Icemandeaf (talk) 16:15, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
