==Style note==
In general, our "house style" is to italicize the names of games. So, when you see something like <nowiki>''The Sims 3''</nowiki>, and think it needs to be linked, change it to <nowiki>''[[The Sims 3]]''</nowiki> rather than <nowiki>[[The Sims 3]]</nowiki>.

==RE: Restoring Neighborhoods==
It seems that you've done it right, except for the storytelling picture. First, go to your saved game folder in ''My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Neighborhoods\N001'' (Pleasantview for example). You'll notice it's missing the Storytelling folder. Make one and leave it there. Now, go back to your installed game directory in UserData folder (the folder where you got the original neighborhoods). There's a Storytelling folder there.
 
Inside the Storytelling folder, find the screenshots you want. Remember, there's snapshot, and there's thumbnail. I'm sure you know which photo album belongs to which family. Notice that the snapshot (or thumbnail) has a file name like <code>snapshot_xxxxxxxx_yyyyyyyy</code> The x's are the family instance. So for example you want the Broke snapshots, the x's are 2dae7a30. Now find the XML file in that folder as well named <code>webentry_2dae7a30</code>.
 
Copy the snapshots, the thumbnails, and the XML file to the Storytelling folder in your saved game again. Do that to all the families in the same neighborhood, and there you have the photo albums again. :) [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] <sub>–</sub> [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Media/Voting|<span style="color:red ; text-shadow:#E97451 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Vote!''</sub></span>]] 07:18, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
:The Baxter family snapshot is also in the Storytelling folder inside your ''The Sims 2'' folder in My Documents. It's always there.

==RE: The Sims 3 Network Error==
I quit patching through the launcher and downloaded the patch manually instead. It was rather buggy and every once in a while it said my game was up to date even though there were new store patches. Which version do you exactly have right now? 1.55 or 1.57? Just a note that I don't log in while playing anymore. And I haven't patched my game to 1.57, so I can't test it for you.

:Well, so I guess the launcher is a bit glitchy. Go here [[The Sims 3/Patch 57]] and download it from there. There's a direct link on the article for you to download. It's rather large though, so it takes a while for you to download.
 
:Are you playing while getting connected? Or are you trying to download Riverview? I'm playing without getting connected, and I can play in Lucky Palms just fine.

::::::If it's not under Installed Contents, then I assume it hasn't been installed yet. You just need to install the Riverview. Have you downloaded it or not? Check your launcher under "Downloads" and "Lots" tab. If Riverview file isn't there, then try downloading it again. Or check the folder where your files are usually stored when you download stuff. Just remember that even if the file is under "Downloads", it doesn't mean it has been installed. "Downloads" means the content has been in your computer, but hasn't been installed yet.

==RE: Vandalism==
Hi Joey. I did revert that edit, but I chose not to issue a warning. One of the main tenets of wiki editing is to [[The Sims Wiki:Assume good faith|assume that a user is trying to help the wiki]] even if the result of their edit is not positive. Looking at the edit and simply noticing that it was a large edit doesn't mean it was done on purpose; accidents do happen, especially with people who have never edited a wiki before. Aside from that, some people might 'test' edit, since they might be unconvinced or unaware that their changes really do take effect immediately.
 
So, as I said, I did not issue a warning, since the edit in my opinion was not vandalism and it was an isolated incident. Often the best solution in cases like this is to just undo the damage and leave it at that. I hope you can appreciate my reasoning and justification in taking this action.
 
Thanks for the input. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 06:09, November 11, 2013 (UTC)

This is the simplest way to set up:

{{userbox bo}}
{{Userbox cs}}
{{Userbox ls}}
{{userboxesend}}
<pre>
{{userboxes}}
{{userbox bo}}
{{Userbox cs}}
{{Userbox ls}}
{{userboxesend}}
</pre>
{{clr}}
Basically, you add everything you want between the <nowiki>{{userboxes}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{userboxesend}}</nowiki>, and there you go. Oh and you can use the extra informations (align, colors, etc) only when you want to. --{{FWSig}} 08:13, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

==RE: Sandboxes==
Hey Joey (or Joseph, whichever you prefer!). Sandboxes are relatively simple to make. You just have to create a new page, and call it "User:Joey.eyeball/Sandbox", because then it will be linked to your main user page.
 
There's a button on the right of the navigation menu ("on the wiki", "content" etc.) that is called "contribute" and there you can create the page. Just remember to add the "User:" bit so it connects to your user page.
 
I hope my explanation made sense. Don't hesitate to ask again if you found what I said confusing because I'd be happy to help!

==Re: The Sims 2 CAS Lot==
Yes, I found the lot with SimPe and imported it into the game. I done it in brand new custom neighborhood since I didn't want it to interfere with my Sim and lot files. When you place the lot in neighborhood, it will look like empty. But when you enter it, you will see TWO roads, and the CAS house. Inside, there will be only 3 objects. First, there is a window in the room where you design your Sim (window is hidden in-game, but Numenor [http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=161887 uploaded it] on MTS.
Second object is a mirror, half of living chair and bunch of wall images/paintings (all of these are actually one object that you can't delete). Third object is everything from the room Sims wait for setting relations (again, it can't be deleted). Outside, there are few trees. Note that lot may cause corruption so place it in empty neighborhood where you don't play or build. [http://modthesims.info/t/180469 This] is a tutorial for custom CAS screen but it also shows how to import the lot in game.

==TS2 Sims skin tones==
I wonder if you had a comparison check when you're making changes to the skin tones of ''The Sims 2'' Sims. Some of the Sims you "corrected" seem to already have the correct skin tones. So I'm asking now if you made a skin tone comparison, or actually checked their skin tones via SimPE one-by-one or what. I use [[User:Nikel23/Gallery|this]] as a guideline when I corrected the skin tones long ago. Tell me if I'm wrong; I might be the wrong one.

::No, Angela Pleasant really does have fit body shape. You don't determine Sim's body shape and skin tone merely by looking at their figure (well, yes, you can sometimes, but that's not the point). You have to look at their personality tab to see their actual fitness. Angela may look thin, but if you look in the game or from SimPE, she has fit body shape.

::In ''The Sims 3'', there's no real measurement to see whether a Sim is "fit" or "thin" or "fat". It depends on our own perception. But in ''The Sims 2'', it can be determined in the game.

:::Also, it's not unusual for pre-made Sims or Townies in TS2 to have mismatches between their preset fitness levels and preset body shape flags. For example, the preset fitness level may be in the "Fit" range (the upper third), but the "Fit" flag will not be set, so the Sim will appear Thin.

== Blond V Blonde ==
Ok so I did some research, and I found this:
 
:Usage: ''The spellings '''blonde''' and '''blond''' correspond to the feminine and masculine forms in French. Although the distinction is often retained in Britain, American usage since the 1970s has generally preferred the gender-neutral '''blond'''. The adjective '''blonde''' may still refer to a woman's (but not a man's) hair color, although use of the noun risks offence (see that '''blonde''' over there?): the offence arises from the fact that the color of the hair is not the person. The adjective applies to inanimate objects (such as wood or beer) is typically spelled '''blond'''.''
 
So unfortunately I think the wiki may use '''blond''' because, according to the Manual of Style, the wiki generally uses American grammar and spelling rules. I'm not quite sure though so I don't think it should be changed yet, until a bureaucrat agrees. ~ [[User:Waikikamukow|<font color="6a2286">Waikikamukow</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Waikikamukow|<font color="00b0f4">Anyone wanna chat?</font>]])</small> 10:12, December 15, 2013 (UTC)
 
::Yeah, I agree with you: I never really liked the idea either! Regarding ambiguous Sims, I wouldn't have a clue.

== Re: Headshot photos ==
 
''The Sims 2'': I used the program SimPE ([http://sims.ambertation.de/en/download/ link here to download]). Open SimPE, click in Tools tab -> Neighborhood -> Neighborhood Browser, and select the neighborhood where the Sim is. Then click Tools tab -> Neighborhood -> Sim Browser, find the Sim and select. Click the tab Plugin View (lower left corner). Click the More tab -> Open Character File. In the list that appears, browse to the file "jpg/tga/png Image" (usually there are two files with this name, but one is a picture all black, the other appears the Sim normal). Finally, just select Export and specify the location you want to save it to.
 
''The Sims 3'': I used the program S3PE ([http://www.den.simlogical.com/denforum/index.php?topic=189.0 link]). Once installed, enter the game, select the family and send the Sim to change appearance, or change clothes - open the CAS somehow. Save the Sim (clicking in the thumbnail), quit game, open S3PE. Open the file "''Name of Sim.sim3''", it's saved in the SavedSims folder. Click on the SNAP resource whose headshot you want to select. Select Export -> To File. Specify the location you want to save it to. It's done, with a detail, the image has a transparent background, but just use any photo editor to darken.
 
Hope this helps. If you have any questions, ask me! :-)

:IP addresses may be given to other users over time. Some IP addresses are registered, which means they'll always belong to the same owner until they are forcibly reassigned. Some users get their IP addresses and have it changed every once in a while. Many users get an IP address from their ISP once they connect to the Internet, and they lose it once they go offline.

==Muscular Sims==
I recalled that some of your edits (or few days ago) changed Sim's body type from "muscular" to "fit".

I know this kind of estimation is based on someone's perception, but personally I think fit and muscular should be distinct. Oh btw, this doesn't concern ''The Sims 2'' at all, because TS2 clearly only has 3 body shapes.

==About reverting edits==
I noticed that you reverted a couple edits to [[Crib]]; it appears that you did so by using the 'undo' button. I wanted to make you aware that there are quicker ways to revert edits in cases where the edits are not vandalism.
 
If an editor makes multiple edits to an article which are in good faith (i.e. are not vandalism), but which still need to be reverted, you can manually revert all the edits simultaneously by editing a previous version of the article. To do this, access the article history and find an earlier revision that you want to restore, then edit it like you would a normal article. When you save the edit, it will over-write anything which was introduced after it. This has the same effect as hitting 'undo' multiple times, but is much quicker and simpler.
 
For more information on ways to revert edits, see [[Help:Reverting]], or talk to me. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 07:33, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

As far as I'm concerned, child townies don't get adopted in-game.

::::::::::I had a stray thought. What if it depends on the relationship between the child townie and the Sim who made the adoption call, or the Sims in the adopting household? [[User:Dharden|Dharden]] ([[User_talk:Dharden|talk]]) 12:32, February 6, 2014 (UTC)

Oh, wow. Your avatar doesn't have to literally portray your username! It kinda creeps me out. :p [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] <sub>–</sub> [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Media/Voting|<span style="color:red ; text-shadow:#E97451 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Vote!''</sub></span>]] 17:00, January 21, 2014 (UTC)

==Don Lothario's fitness level==
 
Sure it may be uncommon...or not? Other Sims in the Sims 2 have - or are close to reaching - top fitness, without having any body points. I have my suggestions as to why Don should be any different. But I can't be the only one with any. I admit that it is strange that Daniel Pleasant has 9 body points but he isn't very fit.

: Okay, and when I looked at Daniel's fitness level in my game for the first time I was like - eh? I'm sure he was fitter before (His page incorrectly said that he was fit at the time), it's time for him to work out!

Sorry I haven't been able to reply your message because I just don't have the time right now. If no one had made it yet, I'll see what I can do. --{{FWSig}} 05:04, January 24, 2014 (UTC)
