Eh, the IRC is a bit boring, besides I am always on when no one else is. I feel lonely Dusk. :( DarthCookie  06:28, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi, I'm Simcontributor's mother, please do not mess around with him because he will get angry, and also stop being so mean to him! Should42563 (talk) 17:39, 20/09/10


 * I am not being mean. Simcontributor has broken our policies and guidelines on many occasions despite being told not to and we have been nothing, but patient. He has recieved several helpful tips and notifications about his actions on his talk page, which is where users communicate with each other. Many of these posts have been removed from his talk page by Simcontributor himself or by request. -- Duskey talk 20:45, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

The problem is that he deleted many content of many pages that's why Duskey is angry at him. ---Guilherme Guerreiro 16:41, September 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am not angry with anyone. Please do not assume emotions on my behalf. -- Duskey talk 20:45, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorrry Duskey I didn't know you were not angry forgive me please. ---Guilherme Guerreiro 20:47, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

 * Simcontributor's "mother", wait wait wait. First of all, I blocked him, on request by another user, not Duskey. Don't put the blame on him. Secondly, did he ever tell you what the f*** (sorry for the profanity, but this is lame) did he do on here and he got blocked? Deleting stuff from pages and attacking other users is not something you get away with. Thirdly, what happens if he gets angry? Will he hack the wikia or what? Oh I'm scared. Fourthly, if you are his mother, as you claim, help him get past his anger issues. Fifthly, getting angry by comments about you coming from the internet means you have no life. Sixthly, if he has such a big problem about Duskey, tell him not to come on here again. Seventhly, this is NOT a social site like facebook, this is a wikia, which means "an indefinite source of information about a specific subject". He never made constructive edits, which is what the site is about. Understand that. Eightly, a 7-year-old would understand that you are yourself imposting your mother, SimContributor. Kthxbai!


 * Masking profanity is just as bad a posting the profanity itself and we cannot assume people are using multiple accounts without proof. -- Duskey talk 20:45, September 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, as you said, I just assumed it, I did not act as if I was talking to a suckpuppet... - JEA13  [ iTalk  ] 11:16, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations on your uncontested bid for Bureaucrat. You're going to do an awesome job! -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 01:07, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

New Family Trees
Hey Duskey, finally, after many months, I give you the Wolff Family Tree! I also have the Koffi Family Tree done too. I'll be working on some other family trees if you need me. Feel free to make a request! --Random Ranaun 07:25, September 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Woah! That's actually pretty cool. I was thinking about incorporating something like that here, but I didn't know how. I'm all for using imagemaps for the family trees, but how do they work? --Random Ranaun 08:42, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Patches and secret lots
Hey, I need some wisdom here... It's about Apartment Life patch. I've downloaded it 3 times and at 99,97% it always stopped. I've had enough and I wanted to ask you this. If I install Mansion and Garden stuff, will it include Apartment Life patch too?

Also, if I create a college or a vacation destination, will it automatically include its secret lot? Or do I have to make it myself? Or, is secret lot not available to custom vacation destination and college?

Thanks. Nikel23 14:16, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

So Duskey, what are your thoughts on them putting Dina and Nina into the Sims 3? think it'll be something like Don going back in time? also i noticed in that video that when she clicked their household tag that there was three sims... could be possiable that another sim from the sims 2 came back with them. finally, do you think that the Dina and Nina makes BB something you'll buy?Bafendo 00:32, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

DJ Verse, please tell me about that page format.
 * What page format? The Sims Wiki:Project Sims/Manual of style? -- Duskey talk 01:27, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * What I meant to say was, what did you think of the picture on the left-hand side? Did it fit with the page? Does it stand out to much?
 * Hmm, I don't mind it, but remember that means we'll need to do the same to all other Sim articles for consistency ^^ -- Duskey talk 01:34, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Can you open sysop requests?--Monster2821 (talk) 20:18, September 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't see why. Administrative tasks are at a minimum. There's rarely any articles for deletion and when there is, they're deleted quickly. Vandalism is also low and also handled quickly. -- Duskey talk 04:13, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Sim Thumbnails
Of course, though, I'll try to upload them later today. I can't right now.

Hello!
Why Duskey! You should make the magical journey onto the IRC, for at least a moment. There are a couple things I want to chat about before I go to bed. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 05:15, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Just A Question
Ello! I was just browsing the wiki when I saw the cheat page for The Sims for the iPhone. (that was you who put the cheat there right?) Anyway, I followed the steps and my simoleons didn't seem to grow. When I have an unlimited amount is it supposed to show that the amount is growing of do I just assume that they are all there. Sorry, if I didn't state this clearly enough. :P Please answer the question here. I will view it later.PunkMusic

EDIT: I bought stuff but I didn't have enough simoleons. I did the cheat perfectly. Do you think I might be doing something wrong that Im not aware of?


 * I have no idea, I never tried that game. -- Duskey talk 05:44, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. Last time I went on the page it said the last person who edited it was you. I figured you might of put the cheat there.---PunkMusic

pt.sims issues + rollback request
Hey Duskey, pt.sims is almost ready to be announced. I've also edited Monaco.css a bit, but I still can't figure how to change the wiki's background (like the plumbbobs this wiki has!). I have a background ready that fits the wiki's logo, but I don't know how to change it! Could you help me? =) By the way, could you take a look at my Rollback request?

 * simsportugal redirects there.
 * name has been changed.
 * I added a favicon.
 * I added a logo.


 * The code from this wiki is

body { background:#64B668 url(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/sims/images/2/26/Background.png) repeat scroll 0 0; }
 * Just replace the hex color and the url with the image you want to use. -- Duskey talk 15:28, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Issue
Ok, the background worked fine, but it doesn't cover the white area that surrounds the logo! How to make that area covered with the background image I made just like here on The Sims Wiki? --- » Яσdяigσ X  [̲̅т̲̅α̲̅l̲̅k̲̅][̲̅b̲̅l̲̅σ̲̅g̲̅] « 16:00, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

My New Account
I'm making a new account and how would I get the rights on it? --- Monster2821 (talk) 18:17, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry for bumping in, but aren't multiple accounts forbidden? --- » Яσdяigσ X  [̲̅т̲̅α̲̅l̲̅k̲̅][̲̅b̲̅l̲̅σ̲̅g̲̅] « 18:45, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think they are, I'm not sure.-- ♥DarthCookie♥ ♥Talk♥ 18:57, September 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry to jump in as well - they are not forbidden under all cases, but it's highly variable. Typically, if a user creates a new account, they're expected to discontinue using their old one. Alternatively, multiple operating accounts are sometimes acceptable if the person is not trying to hide that fact and doesn't use the dual account to their advantage, or improperly (i.e. to sway a vote or discussion their way).
 * Monster (and any user that wants a new account) will probably have to present a convincing reason to have another account, because it's typically not enough to just want to have a second account - you usually need to have a good reason for it. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:52, September 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't see why you shouldn't be allowed a new username. Just stop using the old one and be sure to state on the old user and talk page that you're using a new one. -- Duskey talk 15:28, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Cell phones disappearing from inventory
I didn't see a mention of the bug when I looked up the AL patch, so I didn't know it'd been fixed. I've updated Telephone to show that. Dharden (talk) 17:01, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia's New Look
As you know, the Wikia's New Look will be available soon. Have you already ideas on what you are going to do, choose "Monobook" or the "New Look"? If you choose the "New Look", do you plan to change your "infobox" (like "Simbios") because they are a little big for the new content area, and the text will be compressed.

We search a solution for "Simbio" but it is difficult to find something practical and enjoyable... --Aster09 18:09, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Monster2821's adminship
Now on the subject that is currently on your hand, Monster2821's adminship. Now, truth be told, when he first requested, HE DID NOT deserve his admin rights. All he did was edit his user page and talk page and didn't help the wiki at all. Including vandalizing a page which he caused to be protected by the admins so vandals like him don't vandalize important pages again. Now, he has done some good work, although one thing still concerns me. His hunger for power. He really wants to become a bureaucrat and I'm honestly hoping no one nominates him. A morris spoke with him and told him to stop, but I don't really believe he listened. Now, "Danny" isn't exactly admin of the day, in fact he really doesn't deserve adminship as other people do. But, he can do the job, and he does it pretty well.
 * I think that should be all. I'm still not sure if he should keep his rights as admin, since he didn't earn them, a_morris just accepted him for some reason, but he's an admin and I'm sure that, thats going to stay that way.
 * i'm not hungry for power i don't treat it as a game.--STINGER.png(-My user page / my talk page-)ACR.pnger2821 23:00, September 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * In my opinion, Monster is doing a good job. He helps delete pages and is very good at reverting vandalism. No admins are perfect. -- Duskey talk 11:11, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Potential Vandal
Sometime today (Oct. 1st) someone edited the The Sims 3 (Console) in the "Xbox360/PS3 Features" section and added "* it has been confirmed that you can transfer your sim into the real world in order to have sexual intercorse with them" A feature I highly doubt was confirmed. The edit was done by an unsigned user and was listed as: (19:59, October 1, 2010 96.239.105.197 (Talk) (15,233 bytes) (new download) (undo)) I reverted it, And being rather new to Wiki's didn't know what your report policy or anything was, So I figured I'd give you a head's up.

New skin
Hi, I'll leave this message to some users on this wiki, if you disagree with the implementation of the Oasis skin, please use Special:Contact to say to wiki that monaco should be an option to the new skin, and the new skin should not be mandotory, of course you can give more reasons or other reasons, but please if you don't agree with the mandantory new skin contact Wki and give your reasons, this can make the difference. Note:If you agree with this message, copy and paste to the max of users talk pages you can. Thanks very much. Regards. ---Guilherme Guerreiro 10:11, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
