Welcome! :) On this blog you will find stories, how i play and videos created with The Sims 4, but also a few projects from older game versions can be found in the Archive. The old TS3 stories have their own blogs. Most long going stories have a main page with index of updates.
In my TS4 town Gloomville, there reside a large number of families that you probably never heard of. Some of them were background characters in my story Gloomville Diaries, while others never made it to the story line. The Schwaini family belongs to the latter category, I think. They are the quite poor and eccentric family, and they live their rather shady lives in the subhood named Muggerdale Hood.
Their old introduction reveals that they made a living from collecting stuff to sell at Muggerdale Fair, next door, but truth is that today this households are criminals. Well, elderly Miri and Corinne (pictured) both retired, but their kids Rambo and Sculla grew up to become nice, criminal young adults.
One of the features that I really looked forward to when buying Get To Work, was the cameras. Your sim can own a camera that makes it possible to create decent photos for the walls. But there is also the Photo Studio object that makes the photographed sims pose a bit more in a professional and fun setting.
But you know how it is, after using a feature a number of times, and intending using it for all my existing homes in Gloomville an the other regions, it became a bit worn out when families had to choose from a limited number of backdrops and poses. I had to develop this a bit further to secure enough variety for my sims...
So I did, and now you can see some of the result in a brand new video that was posted on my Youtube channel. Duration 4:39. I plan to post more short videos with tips & tricks.
Hopefully you are inspired to make more photos with your sims. Let me know how you like your sim family portraits :)
So, I finally made it! I'm proud to show you the first episode of my new series LIFE Unlimited! Not proud because it is perfect or anywhere close, but that I completed the task and managed to convince myself that this is okay, no need to edit and tweak for weeks :)
Story is about the siblings Fredric and Barbara, and in the first episode they are heading into the deep forest with their parents. This first part [duration 07:06] is a tad loose, avoided to add too many advanced settings and complicated plots. I never before made film with TS4, and the editing program was new as well. Lots to learn, many ideas to test out. When I get more used to all the tech the story will probably get more advanced too :)
