User talk:A morris

The Roomies
I just want to know, where did anyone get the last names of Chris and Melissa? I was just playing along with the last names, but I keep thinking about it. Do you know, A morris? --Bayoubash 21:44, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Maybe. I should try to look for the game, but I can't find it anymore in Indonesia. --Bayoubash 13:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh. Usually not all characters are put in the guides and whatnot. If I'm not mistaken, when I was 8 years old, I played a The Sims game in PS2 and I saw the Goths, Pleasants, Michael Bachelor and the Roomies. I looked at all stores in my town, but I haven't found one. I'll keep researching then. --Bayoubash 05:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Amalia's Votings
From Amalia (Real name Amy)Yes. I would love it if you help me with the votings. Thank you very much. Just now I've got shortcuts in two Sims (Daniel Pleasant and Beatrice Monty) and I am trying, but thanks for the help. You Rock. If you now any hints about any game (exept Family Guy), put it in my webpage, Amalia's Hints. Thank you very much. Amalia (Amy Cotton)

Thank you for puting the votings on the Main page. In Pleasantview, the Goth Family is in lead, in Strangetown, the Smith family is in lead and in Veronaville, the Capp families are in a tie lead together. Amalia (Amy Cotton)

Sunrise Valley
I heard on a couple of interviews and I think on edenstyle.com says EA or Maxis was gonna change the name

Fanon Wiki
can I get some other users to help and add some stuff to the wiki like sims machinima and etc;

Bad News
The photos of almost all Sims have been changed to a boring stage. They all just have black background and their signature photos (their face boxes). Can you tell me who did this and why? Most users took good photos of them and now their gone to a boring stage. Can you tell me why. Thank you, Amalia 06:25, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

PS; I won't be on the wiki for a full week in April due to a surgery on my leg. I am to spend three hours under the knife the first Wednesday after Easter. Can you watch Amalia's Votings until I send you a message saying I'm back from Hospital next month? Thank you, Amalia

Hey There
hi! I have a question:for the pregancy page, it failed to mention to process of conception in the sims 1. are we disincluding it becasue it isn't really a generation game or should we add it?FREEDOM 55

Vandalism
A morris, I watch the newly changed page everyday. And I see that vandalism is getting a little out of hand. Perhaps edits in this wiki should only be edited by signed up users. --Bayoubash 04:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Someone vandalised the Goth Family page. I restored it, but this is getting kind of annoying. I agree with Bayoubash, signed up users should be the only ones allowed to edit. Random Ranaun 18:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Mm-hmm --Bayoubash 15:39, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It is Wikia's recommendation to only protect specific pages from persistent vandalism. If either of you think this happening please let me know. --a_morris (talk) 20:55, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

An anonymous user vandalised the Ask Sunny the Sims 3 Questions page. The user who did it was 71.88.212.226. I restored it back to normal. Random Ranaun 02:40, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Gurl
Hey Gurl, can u resurrect people in The Sims 3- User:Joethatblackguy
 * You can resurrect a dead Sim to have a playable ghost. --a_morris (talk) 14:19, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I meant like as a human and I can't ask User:Mother Nature. Already asked him something about Claire Ursine


 * You should ask Mother Nature. --a_morris (talk) 14:16, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Family Trees
I was just wondering, when The Sims 3 comes out, will we have to update all the family trees? Random Ranaun 22:18, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, as long as there aren't any new additions we won't have to change the family tree images. If it is just a matter of the Sims looking differently, we can post individual portraits. --a_morris (talk) 21:38, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

But if the family trees in The Sims 3 show more ancestors, will we have to update it then? Random Ranaun 22:27, 26 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Possibly. We can try adding branches in that case. --a_morris (talk) 14:11, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Goth Family Page
Hello A Morris. I see there is already a Goth family page, but I was wondering if I could make a second one. Thank you for your time!--Bella Goth
 * No. Try to incorporate your idea into the existing page. If it is a player story, consider moving to The Sims Fanon Wiki. If you want to change the template or have an idea that will work for all families tell me what it is and I will consider it. --a_morris (talk) 13:57, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Bio Template Text Box
Hello-again, may I suggest adding Grandparents to the Bio Text Template Box. I would do it if you permit. Thank you!!! --Bella Goth
 * I think it will get to crowded. Grandparents can certainly be added to the main section of the page. You can also reach grandparents by traveling to their parents pages. One thing that is missing from individual Sims pages is a link to their family page. That is something I should add to the template. --a_morris (talk) 14:00, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Xavier Jacquet
Ok, I'm kinda confused. I checked the Jacquet family tree in the game and it said his name was Yves Jacquet. Why is his name different? Random Ranaun 02:12, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I might have the UK version. We can take a poll asking the community which name is more common. --a_morris (talk) 14:04, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Pleasant Family
I heard that Jeff Pleasant will be a child in the Sims 3, as he is close to the same age a Bella and Morty. Another user said that Diane Pleasant will be pregnant will Jennifer. Is this right or wrong?

Mrs. Crumplebottom vs Agnes Crumplebottom
Should we have a poll for this theory? Because there are some who agrees that Mrs. C is Agnes but there are some that doesn't. I for one, am confused. --Bayoubash 05:35, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello
Hi A morris, I'm back. I found the wiki I was serching for (Kingdom Hearts) and made quite a few new friends (you are still my friend). I will still help out with this wiki, but not as much now. Thank you, Amalia 09:27, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

PS; Someone vandelised over a few pages and is known as 12.8.190.2. You need to do something since I am still me.
 * I didn't see any vandalism committed by this 12.8.190.2. What vandalism do you mean? --a_morris (talk) 14:42, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, Nina Caliente, but that was a while ago now. Amalia 13:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Darleen Dreamer
A morris, Darleen Dreamer's picture doesn't match her picture in the game. It looks nothing like her. I think she wears a sweater, not some sort of tank top. --Bayoubash 08:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Bella Goth... xD
Hi... sorry to bother you, I see you already have tons of questions on here being a sysop and all... but I was wondering if you maybe have Bella Goth in your game without that annoying "dead token"? If so it'd be really great if you could maybe upload it somewhere so I could download it... I've tried asking on the Sims 2 BBS at this thread:



But didn't really get much help.

Thanks for your time!

--wolfheart 04:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * No, I do not have Bella. Try this.

please help!
I made a mistake and I edited an article without loging in... so now everyone can see my IP... can you help me earsing it from the history? please?
 * I don't know how that is possible. You will have to talk to someone of the Wikia Staff. --a_morris (talk) 20:38, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Family Pages
The family pages for the Sims 3 are all plural. (like the Altos Family, the Wolffs Family, the Keatons Family, etc.) Can we change them by removing the S's? Random Ranaun 01:20, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure. You can move them. --a_morris (talk) 02:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. :) When I move them, do I just and the delete template to the originals when I'm done? Random Ranaun 03:10, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You should have used the "Move" function. It automatically creates a redirect. It also keeps the history intact. --a_morris (talk) 13:51, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Can I move the Viejo Family and the Wan Family, because they're more like households. Random Ranaun 00:43, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure. You really don't have to ask me. Just use your judgement and the move function. --a_morris (talk) 01:27, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, A morris! Random Ranaun 01:29, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Here's another question. Is it considered a household if just one sim is living there? Random Ranaun 04:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

John Burb
John Burb has two different bios in The Sims and The Sims 2. How can I put both in the |caption = thingy? --Bayoubash 07:46, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a caption parameter for Simbio-start, Simbio1 and Simbio2. Just add the appropriate caption to the appropriate template. --a_morris (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Witch Doctor
thank you very much a morris for fixing up the witch doctor page i edited yesterday. i had no clue ho to put him in a blue framed box like that. thanks again a morris.

Sunny's Info Doesn't Make Sense
Do't you realize that people could edit Sunny's reponses?! How will we know the truth? I'm honestly sorry, I didn't mean to come off in a "bashing" way, I just don't believe most of those responses are Sunny's. --Erykah200 00:03, 5 April 2009 (UTC)--Erykah200

I totally see whre you are coming from. Thank-you an important precaution was taken, preventing any unknown expectations. Now ppl know the info they get has a risks of not being 100% accurate and you made them aware of that.And thanks A moriss for your perfect solution to the problem.^_^FREEDOM 55
 * ps:I just thought your concerns regarding validility would be better adressed here or on the disscusion portion of that page; more so for organizational purposes nothing personal. Peace, no worries ;D

Amalia On Bandipedia

 * At the moment, I do not have the authority to assign user rights. I am going to look into promoting some of you soon. A lot of you have been doing some great work. Thanks! --a_morris (talk) 13:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Grammar Problems
A morris, I noticed that some users put words that are not correct on some pages. Like perhaps not providing space for two words like herecently which should be spelled he recently. And some people put words such as Sims 3 and the Sims 2, too. Perhaps we should provide a rule for the grammars? --Bayoubash 04:57, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Michelle Sanchez/Suarez
A morris, I have noticed that there are two pages for the same person, but they both have different last names. Michelle Sanchez/Suarez is going to be in The Sims 3, so we can't find out which one is right, but which one should we use, Sanchez or Suarez? --Random Ranaun 14:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know which one is correct. Place the Under development template on both of them and a link to the other for now. --a_morris (talk) 14:47, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Admins
Yeah the more admins, the better! You can give adminship at Special:Userrights, specify the username, and then add the admin status to them. However, you are currently unable to give other users admin status because you're only a "sysop", you need to be a "bureaucrat" to give other users admin status. I'll tell Wikia Staff about it and hopefully they'll give you bureaucrat status.--Richardtalk 20:52, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * There! You are now a bureacrat, so you can now give other users adminship.--Richardtalk 16:27, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

family trees
Random Ranaun is having trouble getting 2 of his family trees up. Could u give him a hand? :D Matta jr 21:40, 6 April 2009 (UTC) hi me again it seems that Random Ranaun can't do anything but edit his page and talk page. Thats why im telling u not him. Can u please help him? :)Matta jr 21:53, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

To A morris
A morris, Amy left these words to you before she went to hospital;

''Dear A morris, My doctor said I need this surgery now and I am off to hospital. I will be back to editing on Thursday, but until then, Emily will watch my pages. Can you please keep an eye out on Amalia's Votings for the next 48 hours? My sister will be busy with other places. Don't worry, I'll be back. Sincerly, Amalia''

She is curently asleep. Thanks, Emily 12:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

PS; Meet one of Amy's new friends, Troisnyxetienne.

Michelle Suarez
Where did you get the info about Michelle Suarez?
 * D Matta jr 14:20, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Someone reported that this Sim doesn't exist. Random Ranaun mentioned that she might be the same Sim as Michelle Sanchez. For simplicities sake I merged the pages. --a_morris (talk) 14:29, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Cassandras Dress
Have you noticed that Cassandra Goth's dress is different in the family phot album to the in game one? Should I put that on the unused assecories page? Matta jr 15:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Good eye! --a_morris (talk) 15:27, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Another Question
I've voted on the featured article thing twice for different people without realising it. Is that ok? P.S. sorry im always asking questions, its just I don't wanna do anything wrong and get blocked or something!Matta jr 19:40, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I am allowing it, at the moment. Two or even three articles but not all of the nominated articles. If everyone did that there couldn't be a winner! --a_morris (talk) 22:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Curious Family
I have noticed that there are two pages, Curious Family and The Curious Brothers. They are not that different, so should we merge them. --Random Ranaun 20:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)


 * No don't merge them. One is for the family and the other is for the brothers. My sister (who is in hospital) will be shocked if you do that. My sister thinks that the boys need their own page together. Emily 22:23, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

It would be good to get a different image for Curious Family to help distinguish the two articles from each other. They are technically the same household. I would not be against merging them. --a_morris (talk) 22:45, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

That's good. I'll tell Amy to make a good picture of the boys. She is an artist, you know. Emily 07:49, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Amalia
Amy is recovering in hospital now. She is back to her old self and can walk again. She will be on that wheelchair until May 12th, I hope. Emily 22:23, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

I just visited Amy an hour ago, but she wasen't awake at the time. Okay, here is what happend with Amalia;

When I started to talk to you last night, she was geting ready. She fell asleep on that table quickly (well, it was late at night), before she was put into what usaly happens first. Soon, they cut open her leg and did what they did. As she informed earlier, she was soon stitched and reopened on her body. They took out her apendix and that was what happened. Why don't you ask her how she is doing once she is back. Emily 07:49, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm back A morris. Amalia 06:01, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Sunny Forum questions Page
I noticed it is getting a tad bit clustered on that page.esp. in general questions. I suggest an organizing system as follows:
 * old questions: are the batch of questions answered before sunny answers another batch of recent questions. so old questions should be put on a seperate page for ppl to read. or we could write the answers in point form, of the info found out so far.

after sunny answers the batch of questions you make a new heading with the date.
 * I also started organizing questions by date, with a heading to start off new cunch of questions

oh and maybe we could ask users to number their questions. for some chronologiacal order, to prevent confusion. if there is any other way to make less of a hassle for sunny to asnwer questions or members to read them, i could use some ideas from you. so what to do you think? ---^_^FREEDOM 55

Delete Page
Could you please delete thee page: User:Matta jr/Andrew Robertson as it has no information on it? And I dont know how :) Matta jr 09:45, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the page. Only admins can delete pages. Please use delete to mark pages for deletion. --a_morris (talk) 13:36, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Ive fixed it:)Matta jr 10:49, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I also made a serious error on the Keatons Family page! If i haven't already sorted it please help! Matta jr

Oh go to my wikia its called make a sim wikia and go to comment page and listen to instructions you see i was doing stuff with the game and i made my own sims game i want to see what families i choose pass it on

Mother Nature
Sorry, A morris, I know you don't like me but Mother Nature is always deleting my questions. User:Joethatblackguy.
 * It wasn't Mother Nature who removed your question. I have not been moderating the forum. If your question has been removed just add it again. I know it can be frustrating but getting angry will likely get your question removed again. Please be polite. --a_morris (talk) 14:50, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

^_^ FREEDOM 55
 * hey joe. your questions aren't removed, they arejsut moved to a new subsection under that section.i hate to see such a misunderstanding.See my organization system on my post two sections up or contact me on my tlk page. or see your tlk page where I expalined the organization in more detail. i WOULD JUST LIKE TO REAFFRIM: your questions aren't removed just moved to the subsection, where mothern ature will not miss your questions again. and its more like be answered b/c its in chronological order. any concerns fell free to contact me


 * Users should sign their post using ~ . It automatically displays their user name and the date and time. --a_morris (talk) 17:58, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Deleted Pages
80.192.200.235‎ has been deleted pages I have been trying to redo the pages it seems like it wont let me or he hacked it I dont known but could you please block him. I uploaded images before and he has deleted the images. And I dont want to upload back cause that would be a waste of time cause he'd just delete them agian. Can you block him please and make this wiki users only cause this is getting out of hand. And can you undo The Sims 3 article he deleted it all and put my username Sprite7868

Sim Biography
How can we change that, all i wanted to do with it was add some more stuff to the sim articles. But how can we the sim bio templates are getting to large but how can we right a better description for our sim pages.

And the Simbio 2 was for so people could add there own images. And Simbio-start was so I could add the images from simpe you know the ones with the sim and black screen behind it that one. But it is taking up too much space the templates I mean. And the descriptions are getting too short while the templates are getting too big! How can we fix this! Now how can we get it like mortimer goth's or bella goth's page's.


 * I agree that some of the bio templates stretch too far down the page. I would have preferred the images be horizontal rather than vertical. I have started a discussion in the forums. --a_morris (talk) 19:23, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: rollback privileges
I would be honored, A morris. Thank you very much! But how do I request a proposal? --Bayoubash 12:53, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * In the Open Requests or the Closed Requests? --Bayoubash 03:42, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Admins
I heard you and Bayoubash were talking about Admins. Well I am not asking to become one, but I respect you and the good work you are doing, A morris. You can put me on something such as rollback, but you don't have to. Amalia 00:35, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

PS; I am starting to become more active on this wiki now.
 * Welcome back! --a_morris (talk) 15:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Watcha Doing
So, what are you doing now?

Textboxes
On some wikis, there are textboxes. Who knows. Bella Goth might have her own kind of textbox. We don't have to have them but characters from Sims 2 might have a textbox with a picture of them on it (such as Bella Goth). I have a textbox on the Kingdom Hearts wiki (of Kairi). Go have a look. Amy Cotton 15:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You "Fan of" user boxes, etc. We have the The Sims Wiki:Userboxes, and I would definitely be interested in adding more. --a_morris (talk) 15:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I think, what she was trying to say that was that each user has a talk template in which they can insert their text. Like mine on the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, for instance. A preset for all users can be viewed and copied from here. That way, we won't have loose text floating around on talk pages. The idea was originally conceived on Final Fantasy Wiki but now, Kingdom Hearts Wiki has it. Take a look and tell us what you think ! Troisnyxetienne 02:29, 13 April 2009 (UTC) (Catch me here !)




 * The textboxes you should me on Kingdom Hearts are cool! (And a great idea!) I look into bringing them here. --a_morris (talk) 14:03, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Glad you like the idea. ^_^ Also, check out my Emotion Guide - I set it up to help people make different textboxes for different emotions, and store them on one template. Troisnyxetienne 14:07, 13 April 2009 (UTC) (Catch me here !)

On the question of userboxes, think we should make some for each family or for each character ? I just took a look at the characters (I'm totally new to the Sims, by the way)... and I was stunned. Troisnyxetienne 05:38, 14 April 2009 (UTC) (Catch me here !)


 * It is totally up to you. --a_morris (talk) 13:50, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Hm. Decisions, decisions...... I'll discuss with Amy and a few others, then I'll act on it. ^_^ TNE (Teste-moi, déteste-moi… !) 14:29, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Smith/Sanchez Family
I've just created a new page (Smith/SanchezFamily)and there a some kinks i cant work out.


 * 1) At the top of the page it says 'Write a description of the characters and their current storyline.' and I cant get it off.
 * 2) The page is called Smith/Sanchez not 'Smith/Sanchez Family'.

If you could sort these things out i would really apresiate it :D thanks in advance Matta jr 14:41, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The " " parameter was missing. I moved it to Smith-Sanchez Family instead of Smith/Sanchez Family. The "/" creates a sub page. Since "Smith" already exists, it would mean "Sanchez Family was a sub-page of Smith". --a_morris (talk) 16:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
