Now that folks are getting ahold of the new TS3 expansion, World Adventures, there's a lot of updating that can be done on the Gameplay Guides section of the wiki. These gameplay guides are great for many aspects of the game, so you can get the most out of your play experience: like the Prima guides, only better (and free). These guides are done by users and staff collaboratively, in a wiki format - sort of like Wikipedia, but for the sims games. Our wiki, Sims Wiki links in with MTS in several places (like the Help and Create sections) making it easier for us to provide updated content, FAQs, tutorials, and info for the community. But these guides are only so good as the information they contain, which is why we need your help! Anyone can help edit the wiki - it's easy! - and no amount of help is too small! If you've got World Adventures and want to help us get info on the new aspects of the game, please consider chipping in a few minutes and adding what you can.  How to Help:1. Register a SimsWiki Account, and login to Sims Wiki. This will allow you to edit pages. 2. Visit the Gameplay Guides section on Sims Wiki directly. You can also get to this page by using the Help dropdown on any page on MTS (Help > Sims 3 > Gameplay Guide FAQs > Scroll down and click "Click here to view this page on Sims2Wiki"). 3. Choose the guide you would like to edit to add new information. 4. Click the "edit" tab at the top of the page. Here you can make your changes. Editing Tips:
If you have any questions, you can ask in this thread, or in Live Chat - to access the chat, click the Community dropdown, then Live Chat, and enter the #create channel. Good luck, and thanks!

plavamore - Well, what's new in World Adventures? There's new bugs, gems, ores, gem cuts, gnomes, gardening stuff, moodlets... any of those areas, you can add to. I went and added some basic entries for some of them but they still need fleshing out. Can probably do with a new article on Adventures and tombs too. You can edit any existing page to add info, or if you want to make a new page you just go to the name you want for it (for example, http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?t...TS3_Adventuring ) and Edit it there. You can copy-paste formatting from other pages so they all match and have the navigation header and footer.

porky - That looks like a nice layout. Maybe the tomb exploration stuff (keystones, dive wells, etc.) can be combined into one and done as headers on that one page, since most of them don't have more than a paragraph or two that would be useful for explanation and all kind of fall under the same heading.

I'd like to use this as an example. http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?t...ims_3_Base_Camp Awesome that someone helped out, but spelling, grammar and punctuation is not so good. Remember to use capitals, make sentences end somewhere, and be careful while spelling. It's okay to make a few mistakes here and there, just pay some more attention Thanks! |

I'd be more than happy to help when I get my copy of the game. I can also help out with the spelling and punctuation and stuff. Edit: I've corrected some of the grammer (still more to do) and I've added the header's and stuff to the pages I've edited so far. Edit: I've corrected (I think) all of the Sims 3 World Adventure articles. (including headers, etc). However some still need to be expanded on. I don't have the game yet, so it is not possible for me to do this yet. :P |

As I do not yet have the game, I've gone through the existing pages and added Headers and titles to pages that don't have them, and I've corrected spelling mistakes on each page.

plavamore, you could always write up what you want to say in a word processor (like MS Word) and then paste it onto the wiki. That way you can use the spellchecker etc. |

Wow! You guys are really on the ball! You've taken off and done a lot of work already. To avoid duplication of effort, I'll stop what I've planned and fill in the gaps later. |

Deducing the Contradictions

Hmm, I'm not installing WA until a few more patches roll out, but I'll gladly do some spell check and tidying up :3 *Get's her red pen-o-doom!* EDIT: I finally got WA installed, so I've been kinda fleshing stuff out. Anyhoos, what me and Porkpine have been doing is to take related topics on the existing mini pages and combine them into bigger pages. For example, the Arrival, Visa Levels, Base Camp etc have been combined into one big traveling page. So if you wish to add information about the Adventure Tracker or Location Living, please note that it should be a subtopic on the Traveling page. |

Doom me up Daluved! I've updated the Traits section with an EP column and created EP icons and also created a Lifetime Wishes section, etc. http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?t...p:Sims_3_Traits http://www.simswiki.info/wiki.php?t...Lifetime_Wishes  TS3 Base game icon = TS3-base-game-icon.jpg - wiki markup = [[Image:TS3-base-game-icon.jpg]]  TS3 EP1: World Adventures icon = TS3-EP1-World-Adventures-icon.jpg - wiki markup = [[Image:TS3-EP1-World-Adventures-icon.jpg]] I'm cross-eyed now. If any of you guys have bits and pieces involving tomb exploration, diving wells, boulders, etc. go ahead and put that content in the linked section and we'll gather that info into a larger combo doc later. :0) thanks! :D |

SOB GNOME! I found a gnome exploring a catacomb and brought it home and put it outside next to the buyable gnome. A couple of days later, the new gnome is kicked back in the excercise room listening to some tunes. My sims goes in to excercise and top off before going back to China for his Martial Arts Mastery training. After excercising, he goes into that body scultor machine to fine tune and he comes out A BLOBBO FATTIE! - SOB GNOME!.. lol.. My sim hadda kick him a few times and then sold him. But he excercised for 2 days straight and couldn't get that fat off! SOB GNOME! lol I finally had him try that body sculpor for skinny and he came out normal again. ~sheesh~ lost DAYS fixing the blobbo problem! lol. So, watch out for those little annoyances. lol |
