RE: Family Tree
Random Raunan, did you still like it? Because I have difficulties with my editor. What do you use for the family trees? --TheDataMonster 19:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

More Family Tree Stuff!
Hey there! My internet has been really patchy since I'm on a wireless router, so I can't guarantee that I'll be on to reply to you, but I just wanted to say that I saw your Aspir-Una family tree, and I thought it was a little untidy, and I created a version that is a bit more organized. Is it okay if I upload it? Also, for that humongous Goth tree, do you think the Agnes Crumplebottom picture should be the one used here? I usually would go for the most recent picture (i.e. the one right before she died, The Sims 2 one), but she was probably almost dead in The Sims and she's way more well known for that look. Your thoughts? Thanks! M. H. Avril 00:03, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh and I totally don't mean to offend you when I say that your tree is somewhat untidy, I just want to help. M. H. Avril 06:28, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay cool. And what do you think on that Crumplebottom thing I asked you about? M. H. Avril 06:34, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay cool beans then. What have you been up to lately here? I just totes made sure that all of those deceased ancestor sims had what family they were in in their character boxes, and then redirected all the families that never really did anything (like the Ejess Family) to the family that has them in their bloodlines.

Deleting State
Sorry, but I accidently pressed the rollback button on Queenie Landgraab. Whenever I edit and put her state back, it doesn't show up in the simbio. Could you please put it back. Again, I am very sorry.--Bella Goth 16:11, 9 July 2009 (UTC)Bella Goth

Lilith Pleasant
Caught somebody vandalising Lilith's page: Fanon junk. Just reverted the vandal. (Don't forget about the tabs for the LVD wiki, that way we can work on two things at once). Amy Cotton 07:06, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Double Deluxe People
We, on our Userbox panels, have The Sims 2 Double Deluxe! We are the only two--TDM : Always here to help 07:28, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

The remaining TS2 family trees?
I just wanted to let you know that I uploaded the Riley Family Tree, Green Family Tree, and Cho Family Tree. I'm not sure if there are any families left... I think one more in Belladonna Cove and maybe a few in the Universities? After those, is it on to The Sims 3? Looking forward to your reply, M. H. Avril 19:49, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Did you get my message? M. H. Avril 08:42, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Difficulty
I agree. --a_morris (talk) 02:59, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Let me see an example of what you have in mind for the family template first. --a_morris (talk) 03:11, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look at them tomorrow. --a_morris (talk) 04:49, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think I've fixed them. A few missing square brackets and some curly braces in the wrong spots. You know the if statements in User:Random Ranaun/Family3 concerning the difficulties levels don't actually do anything? --a_morris (talk) 23:45, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I noticed when I was playing yesterday that there are actually six difficulty levels not five. --a_morris (talk) 00:05, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Martital Status Categories
Can we use better names for the "Broken Up Sims", "Lover Sims" and "Crushing Sims" categories? (I'm imagining big fists.) I've made 3 templates to use GetMaritalCat. --a_morris (talk) 22:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Expansion Pack
Hi. I am a hidden member of the creators of the Sims 3 expansion packs, under an IP address. I am to tell all Sims wiki members about our latest expansion pack coming out pritty soon. By our boss's rules, I can't give out any more infomation. Who I am must be kept a secret. You will find out more soon, when we post it on the Sims 3.com. Thank you very much. A member of the Sims 3 commenity team as 124.182.215.231 11:54, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * To make it seem legit. Also, note the spelling. Also, she claimed to live in Adelaide Gepps Cross, that IP is at Adelaide Gepps X. Mate, I am older than you, I am a straight "A" and a few "B" student (including Physical Education), I am not a dumb ass. Sorry if I offend you, but she does this on 3 other wikis. She left the Final Fantasy wiki 2dya becuase people challenged her. --Andrewrox 13:12, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I dont know what to say. Believe whatever you want, but I am a Honour student, I get student awards, I know a liar when I see one. Believe me with this. Look at the spelling, and the IP is a total givaway. Think about it. Read the message again, slowly. Send back, I gtg, I'll be back later. --Andrewrox 13:33, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I know I have done bad things, but the IP is not mine. Andrewrox just said it was me to get me in enough trouble to be banned from wikia forever. why must he blame everything on me? What's next: he says vandalisers The Real Ben, Jwest72 and Mark Everest are my sockpuppets? It is sad with that person to get me banned for this reason I am innersent about. Good thing he cannot come back to this wiki. I hope we never hear from him again. Amy Cotton 06:52, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

No, you claim to leave every week but you never do. I have an idea Amy, how about you actually make some mainspace edits! I dont make them becuase I am a visitor. And I am back, TDM unblocked me becuase I gave him evidence about your swearing. History doesn't lie. And also, all the other I.P's you have used are very similar to 124.182.215.231. You must think I am a very dumb person. I aint, buddy. --Andrewrox 01:27, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Urbz
I would categorize them as Sims but when writing about them use Urb or Urbz. Most of them are townies with maybe the exception of Darius and the Villains. --a_morris (talk) 14:04, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Sim Games
Anyone can export articles, only administrators of the wiki you want to import to can import articles. Otherwise, I think that would be a better places for them than here. --a_morris (talk) 13:46, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

JOE AGAIN
Hey and im wonderin do u live in new york? nd why aint i on ur friend list Joethatblackguy

Re: Sim games
Done, I've exported them from this wiki and then imported them all to the Maxis Wiki.--Richardtalk 16:45, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Appearances
For The Sims 3 we should also add their build/body shape. --a_morris (talk) 19:49, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Body shape
The Sims 3 uses Thin instead of Skinny. --a_morris (talk) 01:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey excelent wiki but...
Friend where do become an user of the sims wikia?

Please sent me a message.

Ciao
Ciao (thats italian for hi)! I'm User:Latoyalondon but my real name is Tanisha Banks so can you please help me around.

Master template

 * The maritalstatus parameter is only going to display the current status of the Sim. Having a maritalstatus for each spouse causes some problems but it is doable, as the name of the spouse and their status has to be separate. It would still be possible to do if Spouse is used in the infobox of each article. --a_morris (talk) 19:58, September 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * You can go ahead with implementing the master template. I am going to write up an announcement for the main page and start working on that other template you wanted. Eventually, I would like to do something similar with the other bio templates. --a_morris (talk) 21:03, September 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * There was an error for the 2nd spouse. See if it works now. --a_morris (talk) 02:55, September 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * You mentioned that the template is too small. Here's a thought - why don't we widen the template to maybe twice the size. Most pages are just the template anyway, but I'm not sure how it would look on pages like the Goth's which also have a lot of body text. And I'm not sure what we'd do with the image, it might look odd with so much white space around it. --a_morris (talk) 20:16, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Spouse and templates
Sure thing, I'll try to do that for the rest of the ones I do today. I just have one thing that I somewhat oppose: The thing about only adding a gravestone to spouse if the other is still alive. I don't think it's very informative, as what if you have a dead boyfriend/girlfriend, ex-spouse, etc.? M. H. Avril 23:15, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

Okey dokey, guacamokey. What of adoptive symbols... do we have icons for those yet? I made the ones for half-siblings and twins, but I couldn't really think of any symbol for that. M. H. Avril 23:23, September 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've written a section to Spouse/doc to clear up when to use "deceased". --a_morris (talk) 19:48, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Making changes to Sim
I have set up a way test the Sim if we need to make changes because this template is used by so many articles. Please use the testing procedure I have outlined in the documentation. Thanks. --a_morris (talk) 14:09, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

He's back, or at least someone using that name is committing similar acts of vandalism. Dharden 04:48, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Colon in titles
Why do you say the titles need a colon? I was trying to go by the official title, but are you thinking to standardize the titles by including the colon? --a_morris (talk) 22:35, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Would people know that's what it means? Wouldn't it be more helpful to indicate that The Sims 2 is a requirement in that section of the infobox. --a_morris (talk) 02:26, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

A Mornis
Thanks for the notice. JEA13 has blocked A Mornis. FYI it is against Wikia's Terms of use to impersonate a someone. --a_morris (talk) 21:58, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Help Please
Im sorry Random Ranon how do you make a user box like everybody else has im starting to get a little jealous of A Morris.............--ArchieAndrewfan3001 20:33, December 23, 2009 (UTC)ArchieAndrewfan3001

Usergroups
What do you mean by usergroups? I was thinking of creating project pages for areas I think need improvement such as the console games, so users could collaborate on improving sections of the wiki dealing with a specific topic. Would usergroups be something similar? --a_morris (talk) 00:03, January 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it is a great idea, although I don't think we should have something as formal as a "group"! I am actually working on that right now, give me a couple of hours to put something up. Meanwhile, if you want to send me any suggestions for topics or groups, I include them. --a_morris (talk) 00:17, January 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * 1) Console, handheld and mobile games
 * 2) Sims' articles - getting information about townies and deceased Sims, article layout, infoboxes, categories
 * 3) Resurrection - methods, tools, which Sims can be resurrected and how
 * and the ones you mentioned already would be good. Objects and architecture is another area we don't have much info on. --a_morris (talk) 00:34, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Navigation templates
Adding pictures to the templates would be fine. --a_morris (talk) 21:23, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Very nice! --a_morris (talk) 23:29, January 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. You don't have to ask my permission. --a_morris (talk) 23:38, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Those boxes...
How do you make those boxes for the talk pages? I want one :( --Amigop 01:12, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Image categories
I think images should be placed only in sub-categories, not Category:Images itself, and should only be placed there temporarily before being moved to a subcategory. --a_morris (talk) 18:53, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Changing templates
Please test the changes you make to the Bio templates before changing them using the testing procedure outlined in the documentation. "|}}" was showing up on Sim articles. Also, you forgot to add the new parameter to Simbio-uc or Simbio-uh. --a_morris (talk) 19:30, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have fixed the problem and updated Urb. --a_morris (talk) 19:51, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Is rep used only on handheld versions and district used only on console versions? --a_morris (talk) 20:59, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Simbio-uc is updated with the district parameter. --a_morris (talk) 22:07, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
