Player's page

Hi, I'm sorry I had to delete the page you created Players Sims (writes your sims biography!) because I'm unsure if this a game your trying to start or a fanon. If your starting a little game then try posting it on the forum like this forum Forum:The person below you game, or place it in the fanon namespace, thank you. Starmoonie(Talk Here) 01:06, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

OK, I did not delete that, but I agree with it being deleted. We have the Fanon namespace and the Create a Sim/Player stories for users who want to write about Sims they have made. Dharden (talk) 03:06, June 18, 2012 (UTC)

Awesome Sims Pets Guide (PS3)

Guides like those should not be in the canon namespace: it is more suitable for a blog post, or an page under the User namespace. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 00:26, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

Your Files

Please refrain from uploading a duplicate file. Try using an existing file instead, like this one instead. Also, like Mathetesalexandrou said, I've moved your guide under Tutorial namespace. Let me remind you that your guide has a really low quality, and you really mustn't attach "from The Sims Wiki" at the end of each paragraph. Nikel Talk – Vote for Featured Media! 02:35, June 19, 2012 (UTC)

So is it okay if I just delete it? Okay then, if you say so. Please don't take it bad. Nikel Talk – Vote for Featured Media! 13:01, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Gavin Pinkerton

Hi, I don't know what you were trying to do that page but it was already correct please don't add the cleanup template unless it really needs it because the page was already decent thank you. Starmoonie(Talk Here) 21:53, June 29, 2012 (UTC)

It takes some time to be an admin but it's just a couple of buttons extra you get to help the wiki. It's okay that your trying to help but when you really do see a page that is alright the way it then don't mess with it, but if it is vandalized then undo the edits, or tell an admin. Becoming an admin takes some time and dedication, I think I became one over a couple of months but that took some dedication. Just glad you understand and your heart is in the right place, just remember that in the future and you can be an admin some day. :) Starmoonie(Talk Here) 22:04, June 29, 2012 (UTC)
Okay I removed the template because it actually does reach the standards but it does need some editing with grammar but if a random user comes by and helps out or you take your time to fix the grammar errors than it's fine. Also remember when you add a template for your fanon sim or any other Sim to add {{Sim3}} or {{Sim2}} or any other because you're not suppose to really use the example templates okay? Starmoonie(Talk Here) 20:23, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
Because some are outdated and should not be used, just use the code at bottom of the page, it is more updated and accepted. Starmoonie(Talk Here) 02:49, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Tags

Please leave adding and removing tags to the admins. Instead why don't you expanding stubs and try the edit other cleanup pages. Thank you.

Eva Gilman

Hey, please do not put that information you placed on the page again because that is usually for fanon Sims, thank you. Starmoonie(Talk Here) 01:05, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

I understand that but Eva doesn't not reappear in other games so the ==Childhood years== and ==Teen years==, etc. does not belong there if it is a canon Sim. Starmoonie(Talk Here) 01:15, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Fanon Deletion

I've deleted your fanon like you requested. :) Star-Talk 01:55, August 18, 2012 (UTC)

Create a Sim Player Stories

All Player Stories pages were deleted on August 24, in accord with a community discussion. Therefore, the re-created page has been deleted. I admit that we overlooked removing the "Player Stories" link from the main Create a Sim page; that has been corrected. Dharden (talk) 20:05, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Fanon:Bella And Mortimer ‎

I'm not sure, but I think it could be related to the way you tried to enter categories. For one thing, you should not have used Templates requesting comments, as that category is for requesting comments on templates, not for requesting comments on fanon. I'll remove the categories and see what happens. Dharden (talk) 18:38, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

That did it. I believe one of the categories you wanted was [[Category:Fanon under construction]] Dharden (talk) 18:42, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Unborn baby MacDuff

Um... thanks? You could've helped improve the page instead, you know. :) Nikel Talk – Vote! 10:19, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

Placeholder fanon

Hi, Fanboy. Just to let you know, it'll be nice if you don't make a placeholder fanon like Fanon:Cassandra Dantel, Fanon:Mary Pork, and Fanon:The Life Of A Vampire. If you want to create a fanon, finish it, or at least, put up the content so it's worth reading. If you don't add enough content there, it'll be deleted soon. If you're not ready to make them, then don't. Oh, and also, reminder for Fanon:A Bridgeport Story too. Nikel Talk – Vote! 04:20, November 14, 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I understand. It's just that you might some time forget those fanons and eventually they're left abandoned. I'll give some timeout for those placeholder fanons (a week perhaps); if they don't have enough content by then, I'll delete them. But don't worry. If you feel like remaking them, just make them again! But be sure to not leave them blank in the future, okay? :) Nikel Talk – Vote! 07:15, November 15, 2012 (UTC)
When creating a table, you're advised to use source mode instead of visual mode editor as seen on the top tab when you're editing a page. For example, in the visual editor or the article, this
Image Memory Type
Potty Trained by Diane Pleasant Positive
Taught to Walk from Jeff Pleasant Positive
Taught to Talk from Jeff Pleasant Positive
Will appear like this in source editor:

{|class="wikitable heading-blue"
!Image
!Memory
!Type
|-
|[[File:Potty_Trained.png]]
|Potty Trained by Diane Pleasant
|Positive
|-
|[[File:Learned_to_Walk_from_-Sim-.png]]
|Taught to Walk from Jeff Pleasant
|Positive
|-
|[[File:Learned_to_Talk_from_-Sim-.png]]
|Taught to Talk from Jeff Pleasant
|Positive
|}
With this, you may be able to learn about using the source mode a bit. {| is used as to begin a table, while |} ends it. ! is used as a table header (the grey one on the first row), and additional exclamation marks means additional column. The |- is used to start a new row, and each column begins with a pipeline ( | ). If you have 3 columns from the exclamation marks, then each row must have 3 pipelines, or else your table will be messed up.
The class="wikitable heading-blue" is the type of the table; the table has white background and grey header. You can see other example of table class like in career tables, though this one is normally used for memories. Of course you still can use visual editor to create tables; just simply copy an example and edit it. You are however suggested to get used to editing with source editor. Hope you can understand my explanation! Nikel Talk – Vote! 09:02, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
Um, Fanboy... Remember the last thing we talked about placeholder fanon? One more placeholder and I'll delete them. Please don't leave them blank or sparse (infoboxes don't count)! Nikel Talk – Vote! 10:02, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
No big deal, there. Glad I can help. Sure you can do that too with relationship table. Just change header titles "Memory" to "Name" and "Type" to "Relationship level," as well as the corresponding columns! If you need help with that, you can ask me. Not tonight though, it's pretty late now. Nikel Talk – Vote! 17:47, November 16, 2012 (UTC)
That would be a little more advanced to make. It's a template. In source mode, it's the one with braces, e.g. {{Goth Family}}, while in visual mode, it's the green puzzle piece. You can append the same content of a template into multiple pages, though I assume you already know this. If you want to see the code on how to make that, go to the template page (or click the link) and see the source code. I can help make one for you if you want to. Nikel Talk – Vote! 03:05, November 18, 2012 (UTC)
Oh well... Basically, you can make templates just like making a new page or fanon, but with in Template: namespace. So if your template is named like this Template:PageName, to use it, simply append {{PageName}} to your page. You can freely customize the template, but be wary though as what you edit in template will change where you use it as well.
To be honest, I'm not sure how to explain about how to make such template. You need to understand the editing codes to know how to do it. Perhaps you can copy its code, place it in your sandbox, and then experiment to see how it works? Nikel Talk – Vote! 14:02, November 18, 2012 (UTC)

Time's up, Fanboy. You haven't made a single improvement to those placeholder fanons. You can ask me again if you want me to restore them for you, but only if you wish to complete them, not leaving them blank. Nikel Talk – Vote! 13:52, December 4, 2012 (UTC)

Help Around

If you have TS3:Seasons then we really need some information on that. But if not you can look around anywhere on the wiki for any problems with spelling/grammar/run on sentences or anything if possible! :)

Happy Simming to you too! Star-Talk 18:33, November 16, 2012 (UTC)

Fan fiction

I'm sure there are plenty of people here who can give good tips on writing good fan fiction. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them. Dharden (talk) 03:24, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Oh okay. I just need to know one more thing why are all the good admins absent? (no offence)

RE:Tips

Sure! Just one thing, are you interested in something particular or you'd like some general tips? Life just wouldn't be the same without the Sims! Talk 07:30, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

I would like some tips on how to make a story interesting something people would like to read
Happy Simming!
Fanboy123~
From my experience with writing my Time Paradox and its substories,
My modus operandi is that I play the game, and derive my storyline from the happenings in the game in most of the cases, while adding some pre-determined storyline (such as construction of new worlds and improvements) and re-enacting them in-game.
As to make the story interesting, I'd say come up with something conspicuous: I'd think my Kallisto is a splendidly attention-grabbing sim: IMO Kallisto wasn't too conspicuous as Kallisto was not too deviant from the typical nerdy type (her actions buffed by Hypatia's rather unique take), but then came romance (back in the days I still used EA story progression that made romances and enemies where I didn't want) and popped the idea to put the anti-romance religion and all the sudden Kallisto turned into something conspicuous.

Okay thanks that really helped but one more thing how do i take in-game pictures in the sims 2? i cant seem to figure that out.
Happy Simming!
Fanboy123~
I'm not sure do you still need my help with the first question, so I'm gonna help you with the second one. You take in-game pics by clicking C. I'd also suggest you to set the snapshot size to large and snapshot picture quality to high in your game options. Life just wouldn't be the same without the Sims! Talk
Okay. i took the picture but it only said that i can add it to the story thing i want it in my picture folder. And no i do not need your help with the first question anymore.
Happy Simming!
Fanboy123~
I'm not quite sure what are you trying to say. Can you explain it to me a little bit better, more detailed? Life just wouldn't be the same without the Sims! Talk 09:49, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
Nevermind. i found it out
Happy Simming!

Photo detail thing?

If you're talking about licensing info, that's added as a template to the page that's associated with the image. You can edit those pages, just like any other page, and take out the ones you don't want. Dharden (talk) 16:52, January 16, 2013 (UTC)


and how do i do that?

Just click on the Edit button, same as with any other page. Go to Image:3 SIMS.jpg and view the latest diff to see what I'm talking about. Dharden (talk) 16:55, January 16, 2013 (UTC)


the link brings me to the license page and it keeps saying this file is not licensed

I don't know why it always says that even when the file is licensed, but since it does, just ignore it. Go by whether there's a copyright message on the page; if there is, it's licensed. The template I'm talking about is something like this: {{Copyright by EA|fanon}} . The "fanon" part categorizes it as a fanon image, and "Copyright by EA" causes the EA copyright message to display. If you remove that template, you will un-license the image. Dharden (talk) 17:13, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
THANK YOU SO MUCH NOW I KNOW THANK YOU!!!!!

Placeholder

I'll just give you one last reminder about this placeholder fanon. If you're not going to write something right after you create it, then don't create it. Nikel Talk – Vote! 09:40, January 18, 2013 (UTC)


Hey! You been absent for a pretty long time but you can remove Jake Dantel i'll make him some other time.

Regarding the cleanup tags

Greetings,

I currently am quite sad to hear that you have a bit of trouble with WH regarding your fan fiction. I have said this in the WH's talk page, but there are a few suggestions I'd like to make.

  1. Your picture format is a bit messy: I suggest for one removing the spaces between the pictures and the text, so the picture goes alongside the text. Secondly, I recommend using the thumb format, which also allows you to add a caption (and from what I've seen, a necessary step for the above suggestion) which can significantly help you. 
    [[File:Kallisto.png|250px|thumb|Use this code to help add captions]]
     This code brings up this, so keep this in mind. WH had specifically stated that it looks sloppy, so please take this advice. It'd help you.
    Use this code to help add captions
  2. Your part 1 of the story is quite short, and has a few issues: You do not have a chapter 2, and given that it's around 4000 bytes, each chapter is like 1000 bytes long. Although this isn't to say that long wordiness is necessarily the best option (quantity != quality, although quantity generally is good), but it seems your chapters on the part 1 seems a bit too short to be compelling. Please flesh that out a bit, as I've skimmed over chapter 2, which was a bit better.
  3. DO NOT REMOVE THE TAG. He has already warned you about this, and trying to revert it won't make it better for either.
  4. Quotes and other conventions: WH seems to have a bit of issues with you not making paragraphs. From what I've read, most of your things are in quotes, so it's difficult to make paragraphs and this I understand (given my dialogue-run formats in both my Council of Bridgeport and New Homeland). However, fleshing it out with some explanatory paragraphs will do you much good. I would also recommend you taking a good look at A Pleasant Story, as its format seems to be close to what you're trying to do.

Hope these help ye get rid of the tag. MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 03:17, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Hello,

i took the tips and they were very helpful but i gotta admit i'm still pretty young and i'm not an expert at paragraphs and i don't have a very strong English and i'm not the kind of person who uses words off of the dictionary. and i don't know how Ash could make A Pleasant Story so detailed. I mean i do stories for the enjoyment of other people not to make it perfect for the admins. And i'm still learning how to use the Comma's but bit by bit i'm learning and getting smarter because story writing is my dream and my passion. I hope you understand that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fanboy123 (talk • contribs)
