The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)
I'm really impressed by your knowledge of the game. Do you own it yourself? 04:40, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yup. I've had it for awhile now, but I could never beat the game. I'm still trying to figure out how to stop Lord Mole from "saving" the hotel from Optimum Alfred. 05:10, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol, it could be. I'm might look at a walkthrough to help me out and finally beat the game.

BTW, I hate how they use actual time in the game, so I "speed up" the process. :p

How do you create articals?
Before I get to the point I just want to say one thing, the reason I am about to ask you the subject question is because I can't find the add page button or thingy what ever it is.

Hi,

I would like to know how to create a new artical / page on writing an artical in the Sims 3, if have some data on it and I can't for the life of me find the add a page or create a new page button, tool whatever it is on this wiki. Please help. I have created articals/pages before I just did it on a simpler wiki.

Hi Random, Just thought i'd say hi so uhhh hi.

i noticed that there was nothing on the sims 3 on the console's like (x-box 360, ps3.)

The Basics
1. How do I add userboxes? You know, like the ones that show your personal traits and the games you play?

2. How do I edit the sentences in a page? Like the page of a Sim?

3. How can I upload an image to a page?

Thanks for everything!

Award
Hi! After noticing all the edits you've made to the wiki (and continue to make), I've given you an award. BTW, some new awards have (finally) been added on The Sims Wiki:Awards.

Keep up the good work! --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 06:01, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, I'm just giving them to deserving people. There is no minimum criteria, and any user can give any other user an award. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 06:09, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Categories
Why are you deleting and create categories with the same name? ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 12:09, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Ok now I understand. I asked this because I didn't notice any name differences but now you explained. Thanks so much ;). ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 12:12, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

The Sims 2 (Console)
Hey RR! I'll be playing the game on Game-cube again, so I'll add information on the freeplay families, which are usually ignored or something. :) 14:27, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Warn user
Sorry for disturbing but could you please warn IP 24.2.57.40 (Talk), he/she has done vandalism to the Relationship page mainly, I warned him/her on talk page. Thanks very much ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:56, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Random (how can I call you :0?). ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:10, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Ok! Just wanted to know to call you something that you like, you can call me GG because that is the amorous way admin found to call (it is also an easier one, most people don't know how to spell my user name XD). ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:15, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

I know that but unfortunately in some articles I can't edit templates because it will appear only in the template his previous age, playability and name nothing more in other and in others I have the normal codes = '*, etc. ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:30, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

HAY YOU. IT'S ME. Ariette 01:56, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I have been wondering for a while now about how to upload photos. I have attempted many times but each failed. Do they need to be saved in a certain program? Word or Photoshop for example? If not what I have been doing is taking pictures from the in-game camera and uploading them directly from the game. It doesn't seem to be working so I was wondering if you might be able to help. Thanks.

Please come to The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal and participate in a discussion of declining involvement here on the wiki. Some discussion of the issue and some ideas are needed. Thank you. -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 22:35, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

The Sims Wiki:Battles
Hey RR - BobNewbie started a page for TSW Battles on my urging, but I didn't realize that it was originally your idea. I already gave BobNewbie "authority" over the page and its updates, but since it was your idea in the first place, I can talk to them and get some reconsideration... then you'd be the admin in charge of the feature. Sorry, I hadn't realized it was originally your idea and not BobNewbie's. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 23:48, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * You'll probably have to talk with them directly, but I daresay that you probably have at least equal charge over the project since it was your idea in the first place... but again, I'd talk to them before you do anything. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:33, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Battles
Hey RR! I don't think we have met before, so, Hi! I'm BobNewbie! Anyway, me and LIR were discussing ways to grow the community. I suggested starting TSWB, and as it turns out, it seems to be a great way to grow the community. I tried to use Duskey's official Template, but it had way to many problems. From what iv'e read, you seem to be a friendly admin (I hope :) ) and if you think it would be best for an admin like you to update it, just let me know! BobNewbie talk •  blog 07:35, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Battles
Ok! I think each battle should be 2 weeks long. That way, they are not to frequent and the wait is not to long. Oh, and think the nomination page is awesome! BobNewbie talk • blog 14:16, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Battles
Hey RR! I hope you don't mind, but I updated the battles. Congrats, your nomination for Angela V.S Lilith was chosen! BobNewbie talk • blog 08:39, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for welcoming me to the Wiki. :)

Fanon Merge discussion
Hey RR. To add onto the community portal discussion of the wiki merge, I've started a sister discussion specifically for the admins. Your opinion there would be useful as I'm looking to get the opinions of most, if not all, of the active admin staff before this idea moves forward. You can find the section here. Thanks -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:54, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

Template
Thanks for doing that! You saved me a whole lot of trouble! BobNewbie talk • blog 08:55, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

New additions
Hey there Random Ranuan! You may know that with the console games, comes new and old Sims, that we all know and love. For instance, there is Alex Goth (presumably Alexander Goth from TS2) along with his new wife, Cecilia Goth. I uploaded the images for both of them, and I would appreciate it if you would add them to the Goth family tree. (I tried, but I just don't know how to create those family trees)

Please don't forget about template changes in community portal I've posted a response and I really love your work we only have problems with the files and images but I love the way you've done it, if you need feel free to ask :). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 22:22, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

No response? Thank you --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:35, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Me too, it's time to work :(, I don't know, a_morris did not respond to me, could you write her a message too? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:25, January 8, 2011 (UTC) Thanks :D! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:45, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Family Tree change
I see you have not respond to the discussion at the link above. I would just like to know, which way of making family trees would you prefer, the single picture like this wiki has been using (with imagemap added on) or the Familytree template?--Eduardog3000 21:34, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

We appreciate the images you've contributed to the wiki, however it seems you forgot to add some essential information to them. To find images you've uploaded, see your contributions.

If you have any further questions about this message or this wiki, feel free to contact me on my talk page. --a_morris (talk) 21:35, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Battles
Hey RR. Since BobNewbie has pretty much given up his post as Community Director and has indicated that he's leaving, The Sims Wiki:Battles feature needs someone to keep it up-to-date. Since you were the one that originated the idea, I figured I'd ask you if you wanted to take it over. What do you think? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 05:47, January 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * From what I can tell, it doesn't seem that hard to update it. It would be something like this:


 * Copying over the old Battle onto a new page for archive purposes.
 * Copying over the original Battle "template" to set up the next battle.
 * Archiving the votes on the Nomination page for the battle that was selected.
 * Changing the Battle template on the main page so it's for the correct battle.
 * It's more time consuming than difficult, I imagine. I'd ask BobNewbie about it, though, if you have questions since I'm not entirely sure how he's been doing it. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 05:58, January 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * To make it easier, I've created Battle-sub. I'm usually on the wiki once or twice a day at least, so I'll keep an eye on it and change it if you're not around. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 06:51, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Help?
Hey RR. I see you and Lir are having troubles with the Battles. If you need any help, i'll be glad to offer it to you. Just don't expect a quick reply. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 13:11, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

A hand
Since you've done a lot of work with the main page, can you maybe take a look at User:LostInRiverview/Main-Right: My right column idea for the mainpage. Specifically, if you can figure out how to fix the page so the rest of it appears white (I don't know why it is the way it is), and maybe if you can figure out how to make the header boxes (the blue ones) have rounded borders, that would be cool. Of course, some input about the design would be great too. Thanks! --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 02:23, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Lol, we posted on each other's pages at the same time. Anyways, did you try using the Battle-sub template, or did that not work? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 02:26, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I "borrowed" the design from DCAU wiki, and I haven't changed most of it yet. I just want to try and design something that isn't completely square. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 02:45, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I try my best. You can substitute the end date with a countdown template too. The only thing I could see as a problem with the template is that the pictures auto-size to 250px, so if they need to be larger/smaller, then it has to be done manually.
 * I'm still updating my page... it looks like we're all bound for a showdown! If you want, hop on the IRC and we can chat.... and stuff. :p --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 04:15, January 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry I missed you on the IRC. I keep it minimized a lot, so I didn't notice you were on. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 06:12, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Property template
Good idea! At the moment, we seem to be using to show who owns the page. Shall we switch the templates? Also, the Property template would stand out more with a border and we should write some documentation (so users know how to use the template) but it's all up to you. I have added an template to the template in case we want to further improve it. GG  (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  11:25, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

I noticed that there are a lot of fanon pages on this wiki, and I want to make one of my own. Sadly, I don't know how to make a page. Here;

1: How can I add the character mugshot? I mean, you were editing fanon pages, so I'm sure you know what I mean.

2: You see the info boxes that talk about the details of the Sim, right? How can I add one?

That's all. Thanks! :)SimAddict 00:40, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Well.........I don't really have an interest in downloading SimPE, because I know what that leads to. But I don't really have a choice, so.....do you think you can tell me more about it?SimAddict 00:40, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

OK, let's get down to business. First off, I'm gonna create the page today or tomorrow, depending on what time we have left. Also, I need to get a new page for my fanon sim. I will need your help creating it, due to the namespace, templates, details and whatnots.
