Bug collecting
I have all EP n SP installed. My patch is 1.67

Sim vs Simbio
This is going to sound like a stupid question, especially coming from me. I figured if there's anyone who would know, it would be you.

I know that Sim and Simbio are used in different situations. But functionally, is there any difference between the Sim and Simbio templates? Like does Sim3 behave or look any different than Simbio3 does? --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 07:02, September 5, 2014 (UTC)

About Mrs. Wainwright's eyecolor (and other's)
Susan Wainwright's eyes are about as blue as they're green to me, thus they're teal. Or aqua or something? It's actually pretty similiar to Aquamarine-colored IIRC. Teal is actually darker and cannot be considered green (it's actually the same color used for Terezi Pyrope's blood-color in Homestuck) and i think it looks more like the eyecolor of Erin Kennedy and Amy Bull. I think they have the same eyecolor and it's a bluish teal. Yet we say Erin's eyes are brown and Amy's are green. But they're both bluish-teal-eyed, and i think Amy's hair highlights also sort-of match. Or at least, the daughter my pure-white-eyed twin founder in the Pokèmasters legacy had with Erin, she had a really similiar eyecolor to Amy, and i guess Erin would be the same. Of course Yveltal A2 Pokèmasters (A2 because her father is Arceus and she's the second generation) might just have gotten a mutant eyecolor... this might make me wanna check, though. Uh, also the Wainwrights are my fave family pratically. (Yes this includes Cycl0n3 too! Cycl41r is my OTP, this would be Cycl0n3 Sw0rd\Blair Wainwright) And i cried for a whole month when i found the EA SP killed Blair Wainwright in one of my savefiles. So i like to describe their colorschemes in a better\poetic way. I'm pretty sure i did not even have the mods to change Erin's eyecolor when she became Togekiss Pokèmasters. And it seemed kind-of blue to me. Of course i might just be wrong. Of course Yveltal might just have broken the fourth wall between neighboorhoods\worlds and got Amy Bull's eyecolor despite me propably not having Ambitions when she was born. I might just go check, not like i already have Erin(Togekiss) and Yveltal saved somewhere, anyway. Okay? Or at least, i have Yveltal saved in there. She does not have her daddy's stark-white-eyes, and if her eye color is not a mutation, then it should be Erin's, right? This is a photo of her as a kid:

Oh, right, maybe i remembered wrong, and due to all the red she wears, and playing a savefile with Amy getting pregnant with Boyd Wainwright's children for storyline reasons, i somehow remembered Yveltal's eyes and thus Erin's, being bluer than they are. But Yv's fave color is cyan, and i could still imagine her and Erin having dark blue\indigo eyes no matter how far from the truth it is. Like how i imagine Cycl0n3 having red eyes. YAY!

Removal of Infomation
WizardJeremy (talk) 15:24, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

I have seen you recently removed a piece of infomation stating on the Testingcheatsenabled cheat page in which it stated "In The Sims 4 testingcheatsenabled has been changed to Testingcheats" and i would like to know why you have removed it as it was true infomation, was on topic of the page and was infomation that could be useful to the page.

Lifetime wish
I've started a section on Talk:Lifetime wish regarding your back-and-forth with Sims2fan1998. You've already stated that your information comes from the game code; would there be any way you could prove that substantively, so we can put this matter to rest? I have to AGF on their actions, so I don't think they're trying to deliberately add incorrect information to that list. If you could provide proof of what you're saying, though, it would help finally end this conflict. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 08:05, September 9, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Nickel23, this is a question about my constant edits to the pag on LTWs. While you state the writing I keep editing is from an inaccurate source, I would like to ask you what the source is you use. I could not help to notice some fundalmental flaws in what is written. For example, it says the Supernatural Skeptic trait opens up the lifetime wish for Celebrity Physic, when actaully the Supernatural Fan does instead, and it says the genius trait opens up LTWs such as Illustrios Author, Presenting the Private Aquarium, Perfect Garden, ect when actually the trait and LTWs are completely unrelated as I know from experience. I hope this does not sound rude but I just want to know what is written to be 100% true and why.

From Sims2Fan1998.

PS: Why is my name mentioned on your account page, saying it is creepy? I find it innapropriate that my name is there so please could you delete it.

BOYD WAINWRIGHT IS NOT GREYING!!! (Plus he would prolly be capable of inventing something to make his hair not greying anymore if it actually WAS greying, right?)
Boyd Wainwright 's hair is not greying. Really, it is not. Well, of course some people refer to it as greying, but he's just a really light platinum blond. You might think his hair is greying but it is not. Thorton Wolff and Nick Alto and yes Vita too and Gobias are all greying but he does not - of course he's older so he could also be greying too, but i do not think he is? Of course everyone has diff. opinion of a sim's haircolor, like one may think Chase Bayless is blonde one may think she's ash-brown. Blaise Kindle 's hair is colored orange to seem like fire, but some people might call her a ginger. Some people think Molly French has brown hair and some think it's puke-colored, kelp-brown, or olive green. You could even call it the "Wainwright Hair" but that would be a case of "shaped like itself", would it? Kaiko Mikkusu (talk) 14:02, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Laurie Lee
Since I read the desciprtion of premade sims, I found out that Laurie Lee is a mother of Brooke Branson and a wife of the Johnstone Gilman.

Angela Gilman
Yes, Laurie Lee is just mentioned Sim and won't show up in the game.

I think Angela Gilman is one of ancient member of the Gilman family and I will come with deceased since the game start. Unfortunately, I never tried to playing her and probably the console Sim3 doens't let ask move in to deceased sim. If I found the chance of way to play several deceased sim, I will update further information.

RE: Premade CAS Sim names
I have the Create a Sim demo and those Sims are in the Gallery made by Sim Guru Zephyr. Since they looked exactly the same as the generated ones in CAS and were created by Maxis, I figured that they are the actual Sims in the game. Joey.eyeball (talk) 05:28, October 10, 2014 (UTC)

Link shorteners
Hey Nikel. I've noticed that when you post to The Sims Wiki's Facebook page, you tend to include full page links. In case you didn't know, everything posted to the Facebook page is also instantly relayed to The Sims Wiki's Twitter account (and vice versa). However, Twitter imposes a maximum character count per post of 140 characters. So, if you post a long message on the TSW Facebook page or include a very long web link, the message is often truncated or cut off when it gets posted to Twitter. One way to avoid this issue is to use a url shortener, such as goo.gl or bit.ly. These sites take a standard-length url and shorten it down to a fraction of the length. For instance, bitly reduces the length of the url of this page (http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Nikel23) to "http://bit.ly/1ykkeqR." The effect is even more pronounced when linking to blog posts (e.g., http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Auror_Andrachome/Monthly_Question_-_October_2014 becomes http://bit.ly/1spX3Ju, going from 85 characters long to 21) or other pages with long addresses. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 08:35, October 11, 2014 (UTC)

traits
Hey! I was wondering if I could ask you something, as you helped me lots of times in the past! I was trying to adjust the traits panel in the Sim template of the Dutch Wiki and update it with The Sims 4 information. However I think I messed stuff up now (ehum), and can't really find what I did wrong. It's probably somewhere in the GetTraitLink template, but it might also be somewhere in the GetTraitImage one.. Would you be so kind to take a look for me? Much appreciated!  Tiezel     (talk)     curious?   20:58, October 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've been good thanks! How about you? Yeah the category template is still a big mess, I need to fix that some day anyway, as lots of categories are still wrong. However it's supposed to show the images of the traits, and as well they're still not lining up properly.. I'm not really sure why this is happening :/  Tiezel     (talk)     curious?   19:28, October 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah I've seen to fixed the line up problem, just now the images not showing up.  Tiezel     (talk)     curious?   19:43, October 13, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Aspiration as disambiguation page
All done! You can move the page now. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  14:37, October 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * I left out the Forum namespace in many of my bot tasks, because editing the forum page - even if it's a bot edit - will bump the thread and I can easily crowd out current discussions with four-year-old threads if I'm not careful. I was quite wary of doing so, so I left it out (The Unsigned template is supposed to be substituted, but I excluded the forum namespace when I was running the bot for that reason so you'll still see transcluded unsigned templates on forum pages). Otherwise I have mostly left things like discussion comments alone, but I can go back and fix it, at your request. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  18:20, October 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay, more pages fixed! Only a few left like comments (too messy), forum pages (as mentioned above), and other stuff that AWB can't fix, but it should be enough for a disambiguation page. --I am  k6ka  Talk to me!   See what I have done  20:41, October 17, 2014 (UTC)

Your information on your Sandbox
Apparently LiR insisted on removing this information from my sandbox page. He also left me a message saying that such information in a sandbox was completely unacceptable, could be construed as a personal attack against that user, and was a clear demonstration of a lack of good faith.

I can't speak for anyone else, but given the circumstances, I don't believe that it's a good idea for an admin, like yourself to keep such information in your sandbox either. As far as I'm concerned, a non good faith edit by a non admin is a non good faith edit by an admin.

Especially since I didn't realize that adding information to my sandbox like that was unacceptable, since you as an admin had already done so first. It is common belief that an admin would no better than to add such information to their sandbox.

People have said that a few things that I've done aren't acceptable for a user who wants to become an admin, and I confessed that it was because I'd seen an admin do those things. They said, well an admin should know not to do those things. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 04:28, October 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry if I appeared to write in a negative tone, and I certainly don't think that you are an incompetent administrator. Everyone can make mistakes, as an admin or not. I probably understand the concept of being an administrator a lot better than most users think (although probably still worse than what I think).


 * Until recently, I used a lot of references when editing, like recording confirmed or potential sockpuppets. Despite my success, I have been reprimanded a couple of times for trying to be something I'm not, even after observing the admin issues and having a test wiki for gaining experience with each individual tool.


 * It would never have occurred me that that practice was unacceptable either. I was already starting to lose interest in the whole ILS5 issue before LiR removed the information from my sandbox. I know you never meant for anyone to do what you did, and I understand your intention, because that was my intention as well.


 * One of my bad habits is my eagerness to do anything for the wiki, mainly just to show what I'm capable of. I always have a habit of starting big. But I am getting close to fixing those habits. That's one of the reasons I now have a test wiki, to help me improve my already positive editing skills without risking screwing up on a professional wiki. I have understood where some users such as myself go wrong. But the way I see it - we're all wiki editors who have a lot to learn, regardless of experience or how much we may have learned already, because there's never too much. I've learned loads recently and still there's room to learn more. So no harm done. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 10:44, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Nikel, you don't have to remove that information. My warning to C.syde was regarding this particular edit, because that edit clearly fails to AGF. I also removed his entire entry on ILS5's socks because, as I've told him before, it's none of his business and he shouldn't be involved in investigating sock puppets. As you're an administrator, I don't care about nor do I have a problem with whether you keep such a list. I don't believe your list constitutes lack of good faith, since your list only includes information about socks already blocked and their behavioral tendencies. --  LostInRiverview talk • blog  •  contribs 16:50, October 26, 2014 (UTC)
