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).

Happy birthday!
I heard today is your birthday. Or was it yesterday? My local time says here 12:17 AM, May 3rd. I guess I'm a bit late? XP Happy birthday, K6ka! :D  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:18, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

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)


 * I see where you're coming from, but I figure they've had their warnings. Dharden (talk) 01:59, 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)

No Friend Request Buttons?
Hmm... I wonder why there are no such thing as a friend request button. But I wrote who I consider as a friend on my userpage. :) Wikierzz1122 (talk) 21:47, May 7, 2014 (UTC)

Why do we hate each other?
Hey, k6. I wish we could be friends, but we seem to hate each other. If you could tell me how to be better, just message me.Frogz2007 (talk) 11:51, May 13, 2014 (UTC)

It was wrong of me to call you an enemy, I admit it. It was just that I was mad at the time. I'll never be mean again.Frogz2007 (talk) 12:04, May 13, 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)


 * Sure thing. Thanks for the help. Icemandeaf (talk) 22:23, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

Hi k6ka, I noticed that the battles will be end tomorrow in my time, so what will the next battle be?  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  11:49, May 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll wait for that. :)  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  11:58, May 23, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Editing other people's fanon
Okay, I thought it is still be require to ask permission to the author. Oh, and there is a user called Yazeer and he copy some images in his talk page. And judging in his profile, I think he is underage.  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  11:02, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

Right ThePeculiarMe , he took my pictures and gave it to his talk page User:Majo.mraz.9 11:05, May 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Should I deleted the images in his talk page or I could just let go?  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  11:18, May 26, 2014 (UTC)

I'll just leave these here
Welcome and WelcomeIP

With some minor updating, they could be made to be identical to the auto-welcome (which can be seen at MediaWiki:Welcome-message-user and MediaWiki:Welcome-message-anon, respectively). --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 01:52, May 29, 2014 (UTC)

Help about a new article
Hello k6ka, I just finished creating an article about Dream Pod. See here: Dream Pod (under construction) This is just a test yet. However, since this is my first time creating an article about an object, I'm not sure if this is right or not. I'm still struggling for this. So, tell me if this is right or not. If you see some wrong grammarizations, tell me too. Thanks! :)  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  11:41, June 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you! This is better. I'll put this in the main article. :D  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  12:14, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

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)

Deleting work
Hi k6, Can you please delete the Template:Userbox Slovakia, Category:Users/COUNTRY and Category:Users/Slovakia. I noticed that I didn't wrote the COUNTRY into Slovakia. 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)


 * Hmm, I can only define this strange. Wait, can an admin rename the category?  .ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  | ''' (my mistakes)  10:50, 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)


 * Guess I'm impatient. I check the Category:User/Slovakia and it appeared a user. (blame my brain)  .ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  | ''' (my mistakes)  11:07, June 12, 2014 (UTC)
