News blogs
Nope, it's not pushy at all. The Newsletter is done closer to the middle of the month, so we're not there yet. As for the clean-up one, you're right, but I haven't been too active so I haven't gotten around to writing one yet. If something is one or two days off it's not the end of the world. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 01:33, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Thanks
Thanks for the thanks! I've actually been looking forward to doing it for weeks! Boy, it's been weeks since I don't see you. How are you? And how is this wiki going? I extracted the images via SimPE. It was quite a work since SimPE is a really heavy program for my laptop too. I think I should do that to prevent people from adding taken images.  Nikel  Talk  12:55, September 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * D= LiR is retired!? Oh, Dear!! Wow, sounds like there really IS a lot of things happening while I'm gone! Thank you, vss!  Nikel  Talk  14:17, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your images
We appreciate the images you've contributed to the wiki, however it seems you forgot to add some things to them. The images in question are:

SimPE
Sorry, I forgot to post this earlier. Regarding to your asking, do you still consider to use SimPE?  Nikel  Talk  08:29, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, no problem at all. Let me suggest. I don't always use SimPE. Only when I really need it. When I do, I install it, do some changes and edits, and then uninstall it immediately. I'm not sure, but I think the presence of installed SimPE makes my computer slow. But there's nothing wrong to keep the installer file in your computer.  Nikel  Talk  07:30, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Pet traits
Vss2eip, I said I would create the articles for pet traits, and that means I would create their articles. It seems rather not trusting me to create their articles, and it also seems too much competition, whenever someone makes a type of edit you seem to want to make the same, which fits the impersonation I've talked to you about on IRC. Please trust others more and do not impersonate for whatever obscure reason. Although this has happenned I thank you for creating the articles. -- RoseGui ( talk here )  17:58, September 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * I can only add those if I have enough information, if you have any information about those articles you can add them yourself. ^_^ -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 19:05, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Reference & Citation
Hi Vss. I believe you added the reference in the radio stations as in here. Though you did a good thing finding the source, but let me remind you that the hyperlinks didn't lead to exact article, rather the main address instead. For example, the tweet from SimGuruGraham (I think) has been flooded by other tweets, so the reference is invalid. Please find a more exact link if you can. However, we still can keep the information since we trust your source (I never actually read it, in fact)  Nikel  Talk  10:39, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you
The page has been deleted due to redundancy. Thank you for noting! (: -- RoseGui ( talk here )  19:22, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Pet Life States
Hiii! ^_^ Skunk is indeed a life state, all the others are, also, with the exception of Claire the Bear. -- RoseGui ( talk here )  20:24, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Icons
Hey! Thanks for asking :D! It's pretty rough at school recently, too much homework and midtest... but I just kept drifting in the wiki. X) You have SimPE? I extracted those icons from EA GAMES\EP\TSData\Res\UI in ui.package. Many icons can be found there, but not all of them. That's why there are still some blanks in the list of memories. Oh, and that wasn't really an icon for Pack leader, but rather a want icon to howl. You know, it just represents the icon of pack leader, essentially.  Nikel  Talk  07:50, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yup. But you certainly got it from someone who extracted them via SimPE. :P  Nikel  Talk  15:06, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Pet
No, actually, pet is a domestic animal, or an animal that can be domesticated. Not every animal is a pet. -- RoseGui ( talk here )  19:20, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * That I don't know. o.o -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 19:28, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Hyena Icon
Vss, please find and upload the icon for hyena. Although we all know in TSCS hyena is a premade breed for dogs, we shouldn't treat them the same as dogs (We wouldn't in RL, would we?). Thank you in advance :)  Nikel  Talk  15:59, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll just differ those animals into different column. And FYI, I've been saying about renaming the template. Actually, I only plan to rename the title, not the template itself.  Nikel  Talk  11:55, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

Traits categorization
Hello Vss2eip! ^_^ Please avoid from doing repetitive categorization tasks like you've been doing, as it may flood the wiki activity. We have a bot that can perform these tasks, and you may ask WoganHemlock to make the bot perform them if you want ^_^. Thank you. -- RoseGui ( talk here )  15:59, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Pets
Hii Vss2eip! ^_^ I haven't yet bought it due to my exams, but I'll buy it and then I'll gather information and create pages about the Sims, what about you, have you bought it? (: -- RoseGui ( talk here )  19:04, October 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! ^_^ Good luck for you too! ^_^ -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 19:09, October 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello, Vss2eip! ^_^ How have you been? (: You haven't been editing on wiki much these times nor have you been on IRC O:, but you should >:c, just kidding. ^_^ Have you bought Pets? Tell me about it, please. ^_^ -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 14:50, October 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I haven't, :c. They did go well, thankies for asking! ^_^ -- RoseGui [[File:Thanks rose.png]] ( talk here ) 18:56, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Licensing Images
Hi there, I've noticed that some of the images that you have uploaded did not have any form of license or categorisation. I have added a license and a category to your images but in the future, you should do it yourself. The arrow shows where the licensing menu is on the upload screen, so you can easily scroll down and pick an appropriate license for that image. If for some reason clicking on the license doesn't work, hover over a tab on the drop down and copy exactly what comes up into the description box. Thanks!

Your Thoughts About The Sims 3: Seasons
Hey Vss2eip, I would like to ask what are your thoughts about The Sims 3: Seasons? 08:06, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me, I'll buy it as my special christmas present.

RE: Extracting images
Hi there, Vss! How are you? :) Yeah, there's a TS3 version of SimPE, it's called S3PE. You can download it here (See the stickied thread). The file that stores the in-game icons is in  in FullBuild_XX.package. There's a lot of files there, so try finding under the IMAG tag. The tool is much lighter than SimPE, FYI.

Oh, if you want to get the extracted icons of TS3 and its EPs, there are several sites where you can download them. I always download them before I even got my EPs. Do you want the links instead?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  18:15, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

News blogs
Hi there, I've had to delete your blog on The Sims 3: University Life primarily on the grounds that news blogs should only be created by administrators. Furthermore, the game hasn't officially been announced yet, as stated in your blog, and we can't present games as legitimate unless it's been officially announced by EA, which it hasn't. You are welcome to make blogs on specific games as long as it's clear that they are opinions and not news. Thanks! 11:54, December 21, 2012 (UTC)

Your input is vital on a discussion!
Hello there. This message is to request that you give input on this very important thread regarding notability and what constitutes as being notable on The Sims Wiki. You have received this message as you are statistically one of the most active users on The Sims Wiki and your thoughts on this subject would be much appreciated.

RE: New Expansion Pack
Yeah, I've heard. I've seen it too (but must it be from TS3 Indonesia?? lol). I'm looking forward to it. It looks exciting, and even more exciting than Seasons. I've had Seasons, but I didn't like it. It's almost as disappointing as Generations to me, though I like the festival.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  03:29, December 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Exactly! If they seem to be able to change the name... why not College or College Life? But at least it's different now. Game trailers always look better than the real game. I'm looking forward to University Life. It seems interesting. Btw, I don't recall the template for favorite EPs. What's that again? :/  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  11:12, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, now I remember. It wasn't a template, but a manually-made table. If you're referring to this, you can edit the old revision and see the source. If you want to copy it, go ahead!  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:36, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Adding The Sims 2 Music
I'm not sure if we have a page like that. There's a page that shows the preview songs from The Sims Original Video Game Soundtrack, which is kind of close to what you asked. Or maybe making a page list like List of songs in The Sims 3 will suit more, with the addition of song preview?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:51, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * As long as you follow the style like in TS3, I guess that's okay. Since it's only a song preview, doesn't that mean you need to cut the songs so it only plays for a few seconds?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  14:51, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's the problem. I've never dealt with audio files either. :/ And I don't really know how to cut audio files. I heard there are some applications on the net with this feature, but I don't have them.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:08, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about that either. If necessary, well, it has to be converted anyhow. :/  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:20, December 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, that's okay. ;) We could still create the page without the preview yet, if you want to.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  13:29, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

Uploading images
Hey, while I appreciate your efforts in uploading the University Life images, I think you ought to know that all of your images were very low quality, so low that it was very hard to see upon close inspection. I've replaced your images with higher quality versions but in the future, please don't just upload thumbnails from other websites by simply right clicking and saving the image. Usually it's best to click on the image and you can see if there is a higher quality version available. Thanks! 20:16, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

RE: New EPs and SPs!
Thanks so much for sharing, I've already heard most of it from my friend. He's a BeyondSims lurker, so he's kind a bit more up-to-date than me. :p I'm so excited about University Life! I'm really sure it's gonna be a really great EP. All the concepts I've heard are really intriguing me. And you're right, compared to Seasons, Seasons has nothing to be excited about. I wasn't even interested in Seasons when it was released. But for the sake of completeness, I'd keep it anyway. Meh.

Island Paradise, eh? Hmm, I'm not gonna be so excited about this. :/ It does sound a lot like Castaway Stories, but I like the idea that they made Castaways Stories to be a standalone game, because that game did have storyline to guide the players and give us tasks. It's not like any Sims can really enjoy the "resort on an island", because, what if my poor Skip Broke can't afford it and has to rummage through trash to earn money for a living? Definitely he's not the person to build a raft to escape to an island or something.

Seriously, Future-Traveling pack...? WTH EA? Does it sound like we people really wish to see the future age that they want to implement it in this EP? Unfortunately, my Sim Ethan needs to give his little daughter attention instead of traveling to the future and see how his daughter becomes a grownup, or possibly... she didn't make it halfway there. This EP is too thematic and specific, unlike the general-themed packs, like Pets.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:46, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Definitely agree with you! I prefer to have all those EPs merged together. They could've done it better, but please, why must time traveling? EA must be really out of their mind. Hopefully it doesn't end up being Star Wars.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:41, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Somehow you've triggered the Abuse Filter for the Football spam. The Abuse Filter was activated long ago due to a spammer consistently spamming the wiki. I have no idea how you triggered it and why, but I'll just let GG know about this and ask if he can deactivate it.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:54, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Someone spammed this wiki several times back in November. It's something about football schedule or match details or something else that is, like most spams, disturbing. I didn't recall who, but we managed to set up an abuse filter so the spammer couldn't make any similar edit. Perhaps it was Wogan or GG, I don't remember.


 * But interesting... I haven't heard about that influence feature.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:06, January 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * That sounds similar to Convince interaction from Late Night. Maybe it was enhanced a little. If we had a page about that, we could add more to it.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  23:48, January 9, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Background
Hi! To change the background of a wiki, you must be an admin of it so you can access the admin dashboard. After you accesed it, then go to theme designer, and find the background option at the top of the page. Hope this helped and... do you know Kristina Mitrović? Just a random question... P.S.To go to the admin dashboard, click admin on the bottom of the page anywhere in the wiki.  Nikola (Let's talk) 11:12, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Copyright Question
I suppose it would be okay for you to use up our copyright template. I don't know if it's legal or not, but personally, I don't mind. I'm not sure what you asked in "is a copyright template enough for uploading Sims images," but template is enough to copyright an image file. Check out this mediawiki page in your wiki for the dropdown. It is associated with templates corresponding the lines in each bullet. This, for example: associates with Copyright by EA template, using  in the parameter to copyright the image as a screenshot from TS3.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:38, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Taking good-quality images
I remember I once tried to take snapshots from the in-game camera, but the problem is, you can't configure the camera option to capture a high quality picture in The Sims Stories. You could use the printscreen key to clip the screen, or use programs like Fraps. Or, you could download and install these Stories items from MATY to The Sims 2, and capture the picture from there. I took Life Stories rewards pictures with this method because I didn't have that game. Wait, I still don't have it. :p  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:06, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

 * You are Vss alright. You've loved it since first. :p


 * Frankly, I don't have much comment about it. Not really something that excites me. It's great and all, but I don't dislike it either. I have no idea why many people over MTS said the PlantSims are not worth playing. Their hair is bad (I think so as well, but that's not a big deal), or ugly, or that their skin is so boring. I don't get it. They brought PlantSims to the game, what else do you demand? I wish they could just live with it and play what the game has provided us, although I'm sure they could've added more additions like more social groups to the game. It seems like the EP lacks many options and variations.


 * PlantSims aren't my concern in this EP. I like life states as long as they can inherit it to their children. What do you think about this EP?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:20, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree... They really limit Sims who can attend the university to only the playable Sims. I wish others can have the benefits of graduating the university as well. Heck, we can't even get Sims from the college live in the main neighborhood. I wish it could be just run in the main neighborhood, although I'm afraid new buildings can't be placed in an already-crowded hoods. I don't want to depend on live broadcast. I've been spoiled enough. I need to find out the rest in the game myself.


 * Island Paradise seems promising, but I'm not so excited either. I'm really excited about UL instead. I'll still get IP though.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:42, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've heard. This time travelling EP is my least favorite pack. I won't like it, but I will get it. Sigh. Personally, I think they want our feedback because initially they just want to throw in bizarre ideas about unrealistic theme. They finally get stuck in the process and asked us ideas what's better included in this indefinite pack. Although I do appreciate if you give them feedback.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:53, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * I do, but I've never used it. :s I didn't register my game because my game isn't original.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:04, February 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't watch the live broadcast because my internet isn't friendly when it comes to video streaming, sigh... Watch out, there will be loads of edits here after announcement! Time to do some cleanups.


 * I haven't read the details yet, but I've heard the things you mentioned in IP. At first I thought how they will manage the Mermaid. How will they be able to live in the land? Can they eat fish? I'm thinking that they can use some potions that turn their tail into legs, just like Ariel in The Little Mermaid. I don't know though. The houseboats sound properly like house barge. XP It's simply a house on a board that floats on water. I prefer if the houseboat is actually a shell where you can build things in it, just like the LN skyscraper. :s


 * No interest a bit in Aurora Skies, but I will just get it anyway. I hate toddlers, and as soon as they learn all skills, I always age them up. :p Yep. Gangnam Style. What are they thinking!!! It's so 2012! But that's not the point. I hate Gangnam Style. Sick and tired of it, to be exact. But I really love the additions in University Life, like new traits, favorite, and LTWs! New LTWs! Yay! I'm gonna love it. :D Still, I have a lot of thoughts here, but let's share thoughts in turn. Now's your turn again. :p  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  02:24, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
