Now that LIR is a 'crat do you think requests should be closed or remain open?-- CookieMonster888 talk 19:21, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also what does this mean?: "Bureaucrat candidates that are not given bureaucrat privileges are ineligible to be nominated or to nominate themselves for at least a month."

Does it mean no more nominations can be made for at least a month after a "promotion" and/or a failed request?-- CookieMonster888 talk 19:29, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

Svetlana Baker
This page describes a sim that cannot be found in game or in the family bin. Should this page be deleted? I don't see her in either the family bin or in the game; she may not exist. Thanks, PlantsvsZombies 02:59, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

RE: RE: Strays
Seeing as I had never played Unleashed, I'm not the best guy to ask about it but nonetheless, the articles have been restored. 16:59, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

EP4 and EP5/Console EP1
hey EA Austrailia has released these two trailers for Generations and Unleashed. is this confirmation enough?Bafendo 16:56, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Dharden how are you ^^? Since I have already seen a page was created about the possible "The Sims 3: Unleashed", I would like some discussion on candidates for deletion because I have already nominated it for deletion, could you please check it? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:33, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Dharden for taking action :). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:45, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Strays in Pets
Well, it's true that sometimes the pets appear in inappropriate lots. They often visit the nightclub in Downtown! But that's okay, anyway. I mean, what's the point of Pets and pet park without strays? Nikel23 08:50, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

File:Strays.png
Could you delete this file please? There seems to be a glitch where the server sends an older version in the same size as a newer version, instead of the newer version itself. --Anz 09:27, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Aw, thanks. I'm in the UK. --Anz 13:38, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Family Galleries
Dharden, how are you ^^? I just wanted to ask something, where can I find the images which are shown in family (from The Sims 2) pages? For example the Goth family has loads of pictures of storyline of The Sims 2, such as birth of Cassandra and wedding of Mortimer and Bella Goth, but in my game I haven't found the pictures anywhere, do you know where they are located? Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:43, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... where can I find the pre-made storytelling galleries? Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:55, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, thank you and don't worry because the folders and files of The Sims game are always in the original language ;)! Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 23:02, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Strange, I checked the folder, it just has photos I took since I reinstalled the game, no photos of pre-made families :0! Do you have any photos? Thank you --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 23:06, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I found it :D! Wow I'm so happy, thanks Dharden! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 23:20, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Fanon
Just out of curiosity Dharden, will you create fanon pages about your sims ^^? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:16, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Death from a sack of money
I believe the death is divided into ghosts, though. So I suppose the Death by Starvation should be made into some subcategories, including Death from Sack of Money and Death by Witch Throne. Or maybe it shouldn't be merged with Death by Starvation. Instead, Death by Low Motives. How's about that? Besides, why EAxis didn't even bother to make a ghost of its own?Nikel23 03:18, March 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, well... I guess I can't argue with that. Then, sorry because I deleted the info about Death by Witch Throne... <:D


 * FYI, I myself has tried the Death from Sack of Money and Death by Witch Throne many times by dragging my Sim's motives as low as possible (not empty, though), but they, in fact, didn't die immediately. After being hit by sack anims, they'll start starved to death anims, not being hit to death anims. That's why I don't believe it's a way of death. I think it's just a way to deplete motives. I also tried the Death by Elevator, but it's just the same as above.


 * Well, that's just my own experience. Perhaps others' are different?Nikel23 12:56, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you, then... I'm a perfectionist so I like the way I organize it. But I'm not persistent. Nikel23 13:33, March 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Gee, I deleted that one too... Hehehe... <:D Sorry again. Nikel23 14:02, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

The Sims Medieval
Hello Dharden ;)! How are you? I just wanted to briefly ask you if you own The Sims Medieval? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:05, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I thought you had it... still few people have it, making it hard to contribute. Best wishes for you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:38, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Central Park
I think someone messed up the Central Park Forum. Will you check it out? Nikel23 09:46, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

Help? Again?
220.255.2.39 has been making inappropriate edits to The Sims Medevial page, and I was wondering if you could do something about that.

Thank you!

Email
Hello there! I thought I should contact the entire admin team about this, since this is a little bit off-wiki but still, from what I and some contacted admins can see, an idea that could be beneficial for The Sims Wiki.

I am currently in the planning - almost creating - process of making an email account for The Sims Wiki. This account, while not needed extremely, could bring a large amount of positive things for the wiki.

Firstly, this is a smaller The Sims Wiki version of Special:Contact. Through this, we can send surveys to users about new features or ideas we implement. Do the users agree with a makeover of the Community Portal? Do the users want this policy to be added? What ideas do users have for the future?

Secondly, we can use this for more private, though still completely controlled, user reporting. If I see someone being rude to me and don't want to "look stupid" by reporting it to an admin, which some users do think, what do I do? I send an email through, and let an admin read it and check what's been going on. Note: This isn't a "I emailed first!" scenario, every user involved, included the sender, will be investigated.

Thirdly, and this is completely optional for users, they can "subscribe" to the newsletter. This will be where they allow us to send a monthly, if not bi-weekly, email, containing links to active votes and discussions, the Newsletter, open positions, new features, etc.

Now, I still have a lot of ideas on how to use this productively, but another reason I'm contacting all admins is to sort out something. I know that I may not be completely trusted by all of the admins to handle this alone so I am going to ask all admins who wish to join the project to say so on my talk page, and I will send the password to you once the email account is activated. Currently, I prefer as little users managing this account as possible, due to problems that may arise if all admins had access to the same account. I would appreciate only bureaucrats requesting the password if they like, but I still encourage admins to request it if they wish.

Please note that this account will not use my, or any other user's real account password, as that would be pretty dumb to hand out on a silver plate.

I hope you all read this and think about ideas and or reasons to oppose it.

Have a nice day further.

Opinion ^^
Could I ask you, what's your opinion on my Fanon:Isaac Garvouis (don't read it all, it's too long)? Is it a good article? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:10, April 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh don't worry, it isn't necessary for you to be a "fanon specialist" just say what you feel ^^. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:17, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! Could you correct them? It's quite difficult for me to see which ones are wrong. Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:43, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you Dharden. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:51, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Images
I've been gone for a while so I couldn't answer, but yes I did collect some removed base game outfit recolors and I planned on using the images on the Unused Accessories page as these outfits along with others I did not upload are not featured in screen-shots or thumbnails so I decided to upload the textures themselves.thelamppost 17:51, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Also I used SimPE to find the recolors in the game files and uploaded them under the in-game file names so others could locate them, and since all of the hidden outfits excluding a handful of base-game ones use meshes already accessible so all it takes to 'unlock' them is to save the textures to photos and use body shop to extract a recolor of said outfit already in-game, once extracted open projects and replace the colored image with the hidden one but leave the alpha and bump map unchanged.--thelamppost 18:03, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

PlantSim image
Can I have a permission to change the current image of PlantSim with this?

--> Nikel23 15:43, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

But I think the smaller image of PlantSim was supposed to be the secondary icon e.g. a want to turn other Sim into PlantSim (A Sim image and small icon at the lower right). Besides, the PlantSim image can also be found in the Turn Ons. Nikel23
 * The image Nikel showed (PlantSim2) is correct, it appears on a Sim's preferences. Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:01, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:14, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Added an Intro
Hi, I am the admin of GTA Wiki, and I want to let you know that I added an intro to on the main page, as I find it important to have, every wiki have it, and I dont find it here so I thought of putting it, if you have problem with it you can remove it, I don't know when this wiki started but you may want to remove since this wiki started and add the correct month and year.WikisEditor 13:47, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

User and vandalism
Hello Dharden! How are you? Do you think the user who vandalized fellow userpages should be permanently blocked? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 16:59, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

The Penguin
How come they can put evolution on the penguin page, but not Creation. It seems to me a true evolutionist would not care if Creation is on there because they do not believe in it. I just wanted my beliefs on the sims wiki the same as you do. Please let us Christians, Jews, and whoever else believes in creation, and plays sims be included on here to. I'm not saying let's take your beliefs out of the sims wiki, I'm just asking that we have our part to.

WoganHemlock's Request for Fanon Administratorship
Hey Dharden, I'm not sure if there is meant to be a set time for these types of discussions but as they're usually completed within 2 weeks or earlier, I thought I should remind you of WoganHemlock's request, as that has been open for 2 weeks today. If this has been purposely put on hold for another reason, apologies for my misunderstanding. Regards, 16:51, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Potential Vandal
Hi. There has been conflict on several wikis about a vandal known as MeepSheep. Two of his known socks have been blocked here as a precaution, and I have mentioned it on the admin portal. Do you feel that all of his accounts should be blocked here, or should we wait for VSTF to deal with it. Thank you. --W H  (Talk) 06:35, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Administratorship on Swedish The Sims
Hello Dharden.

I'm requesting a administratorship for the Swedish version of The Sims wikia, so I can create some MediaWiki/templates there.

http://sv.sims.wikia.com/wiki/Huvudsida

As you can see, it doesn't look very... nice. So I thought I'd help them out. (I'm from Sweden anyways.)

Thanks for reading.

Science Project
Hi, I'm a sixth grader and I'm doing a science project on Sims. I was wondering if you could answer these questions or point me in the right direction. 169.204.80.127 16:36, May 23, 2011 (UTC)6th Grade student
 * How was Sims made?
 * What steps where taken to make it?
 * How long did it take?
 * How many people have played it in the past years? A graph would really help.
 * And how much has The Sims changed from when it was released to now?

P.S

Please answer by Wednsday or I might get an F.
