Contacting VSTF
Dharden, I just got back on-wiki and noticed the spam 'attack.' I'm going to wait and see if that user evades their block again... if they do, I'm going to contact VSTF to see if they have any solutions. I'll be opening Wiki Chat if you want to discuss this. --  LiR speak ~ read 02:51, May 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * The vandalism was extensive enough to contact VSTF, so I've done so. They think that the problem should be fixed, as they've blocked the site linked to in the spam. I'm heading to bed but hopefully one of our other admins (maybe Wogan) will be around before too long to keep an eye on things. -  LiR speak ~ read 03:10, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Problem with adding info with other languages
I tried to add a new section to Mitch Wolosenko with his name in different languages, but the Abuse Filter stopped me. I have already added such sections for other Sims. What should I do? --Geirma 18:14, May 31, 2012 (UTC) --Geirma 19:07, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * If it was the "Prolific spammer deterrent" filter then yeah that somehow caused problems for everyone. I've disabled it for now whilst I test it, so editing should be back to normal. Geirma, I suggest you try that edit again now and it should be fine. 18:23, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! It worked now.

Ghosts interaction in Sims 1
Hi, I am posting this on your page regarding your edits here?

In the history page I stated that the reason why I changed it was because, ghosts can wander inside a house without a Sim not even noticing they are right in front of them. Be Spooked is an interaction much like Talk. Ghosts will scare Sims only if they choose to. So even if a Sim 'sees' the ghost Be Spook interaction is not always induced.Blueknightex 00:29, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Lot Assignment titles
Do you think lot assignments should be entitled in all uppercase as shown in this edit or just lowercase them back? IMO, I prefer it in uppercase, but I'm not really sure.  Nikel  Talk  14:22, June 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I guess you're right. I'll fix the link then.  Nikel  Talk  16:06, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

about the page you took away it was a thing for users to tell the bio of there sims.

Ghost colors
I found the ghost colors from SimPE, that not all ghosts have unique colors. The coloring consists of RGB and Alpha. What is Alpha? Do you have any idea?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:57, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Now that makes sense. Does higher value make it more or less transparent?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:06, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh well, thanks!  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:10, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Oh thanks!
I didn't know I was looking at my history and I found it. Xxgreenbunnyxx (talk) 16:42, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

can you undeleate that if you can so i can copy and paste it as a blog post or under the sims freeplay?

ok thanks

Community input required
Hello, there is a fairly important discussion on the Community Portal talk page regarding the seemingly declining activity from users and input/suggestions on how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Punctuation inside quotes
Punctuation goes inside quotation marks: http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/quotes.asp

Good eye, though!108.230.213.173 (talk) 21:37, August 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * When dealing with quotes, yes. In that particular case, "Expello Mortis" is not a quote. It's in quotes to set it apart as a name, so that it stands out from the text. The reason for the quotes isn't grammatical, but visual. In that context, having the comma inside the quotes just looks odd. I can't point to any prescriptivist grammar-book reason for it, it just does. Dharden (talk) 22:02, August 14, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Downtown {Hot Date) articles
Hm, that's strange. I license my images all the time.  Colin the Panda -  Meow  09:35, September 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, when I first reinstalled The Sims 1 I just installed them all without stopping to play it. Then one day I had to reinstall it again but this time I stopped at Hot Date and began to play then resumed installing the other expansions. This time, instead of having multiple pet shops and no items from house party it had, well, House Party items. It depends on what you play first, if you install Hot Date then install Unleashed then it will have the Unleashed "version". I just refered to it as a version because I didn't really know what else to call it. So, I guess what you've said is correct.  Colin the Panda -  Meow  13:44, September 2, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Weather stone
It's just not about time to create the page of its own. But the anon is a little persistent. We'd better let him cool down first before we move or do anything else to it.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  13:34, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

SimPrograms
Dunno how much free time you have or if you'd be interested, but I will soon be leaving SimPrograms (along with Jud) and the new owner needs a few writers. I know you've very active on this wiki and your experince will come in very handy on SP. If interested let me know and I'll let her know.

Re: Plantsim Want Trees
I have had that experience with different hoods. People who barely know the ones who turned into plantsims will roll wants to have them cured. For example, I have a megahood with Pleasantview, Riverblossom Hills and Strangetown as the shopping districts, and I had Nervous Subject become a plantsim. A few sims who were acquainted with him started rolling wants for Nervous to be cured, even if their relationships were in the single digits. Basically, any non-knowledge sim that had any kind of contact with Nervous became obsessed with him being cured.38.80.200.61 (talk) 23:16, November 23, 2012 (UTC)

Why do you keep deleting my edits I wasn't spamming or trolling?

Objects that appear in all games
When seeing Category:Objects that appear in all games, I expect those objects to appear only in base games, or mostly commonly appear in base game. When they are only featured in certain EP (Unleashed, Pets, and Pets), I'm not really certain if it's what the category intended for. This user has categorized many objects, but I don't know if they're supposed to be categorized that way or not. What do you think?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:26, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Since diving board the only special case, well... I could say it came with Seasons and appears in all games. If an object is EP-exclusive, I wouldn't say it "appears" in all games, although it would contradict with the title meaning (unless we define it the meaning). Store objects imo can be considered base game compatible so they count as "appear" in all games...?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:52, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
