Your sysop flags

Hi there, as you haven't picked an Administrative project in a reasonable amount of time, your sysop flags have been revoked. However, you still have your rollback rights and you are free to request administratorship again when you wish to. Thanks for understanding! Lost Labyrinth • (c) • (b) 10:03, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back!

Hey Walker guy, it's great to see you back on the wiki! If you need help acclimating to any new things, drop me a message. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 16:17, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Returning

Hey! It's quite nice to see that you're back. :) You should come on the IRC some time and we can talk! --Bleeh^{(talk) (blog)} 23:07, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Of course! There's this page which has a lot of information. If you need any more help you can definitely send me another message on my talk page! I'll log onto the IRC channel now. :) --Bleeh^{(talk) (blog)} 02:09, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Colored usernames

The colors correspond to Bureaucrat (green) or Administrator (red) ranks. I don't think there has been any discussion of opening them up to non-admins, and in any case setting the colors requires editing a couple .css pages, which non-admins can't do. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 01:54, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

RE: {{Username}}

When you use it, it will show your username. See it when I call your username in my userpage?

We've never talked when you were still part of active administrator here, but are you returning? Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 08:48, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

That's why it creeps me out. Sometimes some users just use it and I'm shocked when they call my (user)name.

Glad to hear that. Bleeh also made a recent comeback, what a coincidence! In that case then... welcome back! Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 09:46, April 5, 2013 (UTC)

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! Wish you all the best :) Life just wouldn't be the same without the Sims! _Talk 08:54, September 26, 2013 (UTC)

It surprised me that you came back briefly on your birthday. Happy birthday, Walker guy! Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 12:44, September 26, 2013 (UTC)

Happy Belated birthday Jason ^{(Talk) 15:45, September 27, 2013 (UTC)}

Families of a single Sim

It has been agreed quite long ago that we not to create a family article of family consisting of a single Sim. This includes the castaway Sims from Felicity Island. However, if the Sim lives alone, but they deceased family members, the family article can still be created. This is because there's essentially no difference between the family and Sim's article, so there's no use to separate the articles. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 09:01, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sure the family information has been covered in the neighborhood page, such as the family bio, family funds, and household members. In the recent The Sims 3 store worlds, there have been even more families of a single Sim. Creating these pages seem to be redundant after all. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 09:11, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

That's okay. I hope you don't mind about that though, because it's a great work you've done there! Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 09:19, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

RE:Your Message

Hey, sorry about your Chat problems - the question I had in mind was nothing important and can wait, hope you get Chat problems fixed soon though! If you want a tip; you should try clearing your Cache and then doing a hard refresh on the wiki and try joining Chat, it works for me all of the time. Good luck! :) Beds ^{(parlare - da leggere)} 14:01, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Nice work

Thanks! It did take a while for me to prepare all those images and resources... But my grammar is still terrible, so Dharden or LiR would usually clean up the page later. :/ It's not exactly difficult to upload all the images because I used Special:MultipleUpload. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 13:23, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

Changing username

If I were you, I'd wait until the RfA is settled, just to avoid confusion. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 10:35, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Mr. Conductor

Well, it does seem to be an excuse to make references to certain body parts. I think we could call that inappropriate, whether or not the word bothers you -- especially given his other actions. Also, I think he borrowed that atom image from your page. Bad form, at the very least. Dharden (talk) 15:04, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I think the Abuse Filter catches edits to other peoples' userpages. I've started an admin discussion about him. I have no problem with blanking the page, but would rather not do it unilaterally. Dharden (talk) 15:22, October 6, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Suspicious User

Oh, geez. The pattern is so obvious. They even did the same thing in 3 other wikis. Normally I'd pass on this issue to admin discussion, but I guess I'll just step forward and block one of the user. Thanks for the report! Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:49, October 8, 2013 (UTC)

RfA

Congratulations, your request for admin rights has been approved. Both from myself and from the community in general I'd like to congratulate you and wish you the best of luck in the future, I have confidence you'll be able to use the tools well. Also, as a result of gaining admin rights, you are also eligible for operator status on the IRC channel, just ask a bureaucrat via IRC to set it up once you've registered with freenode (I checked nickserv and apparently you're not registered, my apologies if I made a mistake). Finally, congratulations again, and good luck. ―ฬђ ^talk 09:22, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hey there Walker guy, congrats on a successful request, good luck with the tools, I know you'll do yourself and the wiki proud! :) Beds ^{(parlare - da leggere)} 10:39, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Hana! --Walker guy94 ^{Talk to me!} 10:52, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats on your request! :D That's much expected though. Welcome back as an admin! Can I call you just Walker now, or Frostwalker? Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:37, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Thanks Nikel! You can call me Frost or (as usual) Walker, I'd prefer to keep it short. --Frostwalker ^{Talk to me!} 02:26, October 11, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Hi

Oh hi there! I agree, I don't believe we've talked before, I've only been here for a little under a year, and I wasn't around when you were previously an admin. Nice to meet you/speak to you for the first time! Hopefully we'll be able to cross paths sometime during our editing on the wiki. ~ Waikikamukow (Anyone wanna chat?) 04:40, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

Ron Condor's headshot

Where did you get Ron's headshot? The one I got from SimPE was him wearing the pilot suit. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:30, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

This is the one I've got from mine. --Frostwalker ^{Talk to me!} 06:36, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

That's news to me. But seeing from the folder directory (I can see it at the top), it seems that it's from your saved game, not from the original files. I wonder if that counts?

Also, I didn't pay enough attention when you uploaded the headshots of these Sims. Are your headshots in .jpg or .png? It's not exactly important or what, but it would be better if you get the .png files. Just sayin' though. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:49, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I did opted for .png, but the SimPE in default extracted the headshots in .jpg. So, rather than converting those to .png in another image editor program, I proceeded in uploading those headshots instead.

And, it seems you're right, the headshot changed to the one I've uploaded after the storyline is finished. Though, I'm pretty sure that NPCs shall never change their headshots (unless they're added to the household and make them playable). --Frostwalker ^{Talk to me!} 07:02, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

That's just odd. All this time, I've always got the .png version of Sim's headshot. But if that's what you get, then so be it. In Ron's case, I guess that's fine since the original is kept too. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 08:24, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

Ok then. --Frostwalker ^{Talk to me!} 09:02, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

Revert?

I removed them because on this template the notice says: Add your story to the BOTTOM of the page, if you do not put it at the BOTTOM your edit will be undone. I just followed that. Mate1234 (Chatterbox...' You don't have to read this..) 16:16, October 25, 2013 (UTC)

User:Simster3000

Whoops. I was reckless. I've placed the {{Blocked}} template, told the user I've blocked her old account, but actually forgot to block it! Thanks for blocking the account. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 06:31, November 3, 2013 (UTC)

No problem! --Frostwalker ^{Talk to me!} 06:33, November 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Drop-down license menu

Thanks for the advice. Mate1234 (Chatterbox...' You don't have to read this..) 17:53, November 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Siphon or Syphon

That's the sort of thing I'd expect to vary between the North American release and the overseas-English release. Since US English is preferred here, my inclination is to go with whatever the North American release uses, and to use "siphon" until we know what that is, since that is the US spelling. Dharden (talk) 13:27, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

"Syphon" may be an acceptable variant of "siphon" according to dictionaries, but IME, it is rarely used over here. I have no problem with using whatever the game uses, I just want to be sure of what that is -- and whether or not it's the same in all English-language releases. Dharden (talk) 13:54, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

Woodworking

Is it true that Woodworking is the latest update for FreePlay? You have the game, IIRC? Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 03:33, November 12, 2013 (UTC)

Well Hobby (The Sims FreePlay) says that there is Woodoworking hobby. But what matters to me is that the anon kept adding Woodworking as the latest version of the game. Since the latest is still Teenagers, I guess the anon's intention was different, so we should remove Woodworking from the list. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 03:49, November 12, 2013 (UTC)

See, this is the reason why I'm not playing casual games (apart from not having the gadget myself). At first it seems easy to achieve anything, but eventually you'll be forced to work hard which takes forever to advance. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 04:04, November 12, 2013 (UTC)

Duplicate image

Hi, can you remove this image since there is the older version of it? Mate1234 (Chatterbox...' You don't have to read this..) 13:28, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

Done. --Frostwalker ^{Talk - Read} 13:36, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

Userboxes

How do you set up the userbox template, because I want to add it to my user page but I can't seem to do it. Joey.eyeball (talk) 07:54, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the help! :) Joey.eyeball (talk) 02:50, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Your userboxes say that if you want a specific userbox, you can make one. So I was wondering if you could make a userbox for The Sims Deluxe Edition to go here. Since I know that it had special editions for The Sims 3 and The Sims 2 are on there. Joey.eyeball (talk) 19:00, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hmm... why aren't they there? Anyway, thanks for the help, again! :) Joey.eyeball (talk) 02:45, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Template Maintenance

Actually, it does. The visual difference is just not obvious. In fact, if these changes weren't made, there would actually be extra spaces on trait and favorite rows whenever {{Sim}} infobox was used in namespaces outside main and fanon, say, userpage. It was very irritating since the row itself was already narrow, while the extra space would make it wider. And you need to edit the templates before you can see the difference, so the history wouldn't help explain it visually.

But I'm not quite sure with the title of this talk. Are you referring to the discussion I recently started or the Misc template? Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:14, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see... Extra spacing sometimes makes differences, albeit very minor. Most of the times they're not noticeable, but sometimes they do. Removing these extra spaces may not always have effects, but I always enforce consistency to remove them. Besides, I feel that having minimum spaces is better than extra spaces. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 14:44, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Adding more pages

Could you add pages of the remaining Bluewater Village townies please? -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by C.Syde65 (talk • contribs) 05:30, December 8, 2013 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~~~~

Why the change?

I made a perfectly fine change to Seema Sielen's page, and you reverted it.

Shes a mermaid in both my game, and anyone else i know's game if they have island paradise installed.

Re: Welcome Back!

Hey! It's you! How's real life going? Yeah, I decided to come back here after a few years hiatus and saw some of old members still contributing here (and some of them also become a bureaucrat). There are several things that I wanna like to add here (especially the vehicles page). If you want a good real-life chat with me, just add my skype on my user pages. I always online at night.

Bundi2408 (talk) 16:07, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Same here, I'm studying economy now in Depok. My exam starts next week so it's a bit of a bummer that I have to study and waited a bit longer to relax. If you don't have skype, there are several alternatives of social media that I used.

Bundi2408 (talk) 16:28, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Userboxes

Hey. I was wondering if you could create userbox for users who have SimPE if its not too much trouble. Joey.eyeball (talk) 02:31, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

Hey!

Hey! It's about time you returned. I thought you might have retired, LOL! :) -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 10:27, August 21, 2014 (UTC)
