That story of mine
In chat the other day, I promised that I would post the link to my story on your talk page. Here it is. Only four chapters have gone up so far, but it will be updated often, I hope. WayfinderOwl (talk) 23:22, April 1, 2014 (UTC)

User changing several pages
There is a user, 75.179.49.111, who has changed several pages on Sims that don't seem to be verified or even correct. I corrected on such change yesterday and the user changed it back as well at several others. I think an admin needs to get involved. Icemandeaf (talk) 22:19, April 3, 2014 (UTC)

Suggestion
I've just made this category, Category:Real people, and now I think it sounds very strange and not accurate. Maybe I should rename it to Category:Real life people or Category:Real-life people, or maybe Category:People in real life? What do you think?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  10:35, April 5, 2014 (UTC)

Disappearing Graves & Game Corruption (Sims 2)
I need to clarify something:  I know that deliberately deleting tombstones / urns causes shredded character files, which leads to game corruption. That's why I never do that.

So the game files I brought over from my old computer to my new computer originally contain all graves, but somehow, none of the graves were physically visible in my new computer.

I take it that since I didn't deliberately delete the graves, the character files are still exactly as the game left them. As in, Claudio Monty has complete character data, but Specter's victims have incomplete data. From what I see on the Claudio Monty, Game guide:Resurrecting tips & Game_guide:Avoiding_corruption pages, it should be safe to resurrect some pre-made sims: the ones which have complete character data.

But what I'm not sure about: If graves go invisible even when the player didn't deliberately delete them, is the character file necessarily shredded as if the player deliberately deleted them?

This neighborhood in question is the MATY-merged Pleasantview-Strangetown-Veronaville. As far as I know, I am careful not to do anything that is known to corrupt the game, and have not encountered any bugs / major warning signs in the 1.5 years since I transferred my game files.

If you use SimPE, doesn't that help with bringing back deceased Sims, when transferring your game files over? C.Syde65 (talk) 01:30, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Username Signature
The information on the Special:Preferences page is too complicated and hard to follow. It would be nice to follow some simpler instructions. Also I want to know how to change the colour of my username signature. C.Syde65 (talk) 03:39, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Your joke on your userpage
I personally didn't find it impolite either and I found it hilarious as well. But other people that I know weren't sure whether it would pass off as not being impolite.  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 01:27, April 19, 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Contributers and editting fanons
Hey,

It's not my place to say anything directly to the WCs who do this, but there do seem to be few that are ignoring the property templates. I think it needs to be made clearer that other users aren't supposed do big edits to fanon pages they don't own. I have seen a few WCs edit fanon pages made by other users, and some have edited two of mine with out asking me with incorrect information, that I have had to undo. The biggest edit on mine was the one on this page, who made this trivia addition of information which isn't true, and I have not indicated of the sim being reference to this Dexter they mention, because I haven't even heard of this show. Maybe a note should be added to the template or something, that if a user or WC feels a big change should be made to the page, they should just mention it in the comments?

 * Thank you, I will. I wasn't sure if I could do that. Incase I was doing something only admins and rollbackers can do. On some wikis I've been on-but never actually edited on, people who posted on a person's talkpage telling them that they were breaking the rules, they would in turn get warned for acting like a syspop (is that how you spell the word?) I wasn't sure if it was a universal wiki thing, or just those wikis. WayfinderOwl (talk) 20:06, April 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'll remember that. (I have no idea why I thought it 'pop' instead of 'op', lol.) It will be good to know for future reference. Sometimes I see unneeded edits to canon pages, but I didn't know what the procedure is other than edit undoing before. At least I know now. WayfinderOwl (talk) 21:42, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Nomination for rollback
Wow, I had no idea. Seems like a great honor. I have replied to the nomination. Icemandeaf (talk) 01:23, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

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 & 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)
