Machinima

Hi !
Haha many posts today ^^

This is something that I didn't know if I would show but then I thought, really why not ?
So the thing is that in my last year of high school (I think it is high school, we have a different system in Sweden) we had a final project were we could decide for ourselves what we wanted to do. We could do anything what we wanted but it had to have some connection to our education program. Since I am in the art class, we had to create something.

After days of wondering what I should do, changing projects, I finally knew what I was going to do. A Sims 3 machinima of course ! I have always wanted to make a machinima but have been too lazy. Haha yeah, sometimes I get angry with myself because of my laziness XD Anyway, this was a good opportunity for me to actually make one. I had my doubts on myself if I would really handle it because I wanted to make it as good as I could. I tried not to think too negative and actually plan my project, although I felt a bit anxiety sometimes when I didn't know what to do. But I think it turned out ok :3

Heh, it feels like I'm writing my report again now ^^'

It has been out on youtube since the 17th of April 2011 so if you are a fan of Sims 3 machinimas you might have seen it. But if you have not then please take a look at it :D If you have any kinds of questions about it then please leave a comment.

After re watching it today I'm thinking of edit the machinima a bit. I won't delete anything but maybe adding some scenes to it cause there's a scene that I feel like are missing. I won't tell you about that scene. It'll be a secret ~ ^w^ *evil grin*

Watch it here or at youtube, whatever you feel is the best option :3
If you can please watch it in HD

The Sims 4 in the making

Hello !

Recently there was a leaked video on youtube about the Sims 4. It was however quickly removed due to copyright by EA. The good thing is that someone/some people downloaded it before it was removed.

It's not a trailer but many people say there's more of a concept video and that some people don't think that The Sims 4 will look like in the concept video. But still when looking at the video it really looks awesome ! :D I have always been thinking to myself if they were going to be making a 4th one. I know that it would be strange to just end the series at the 3rd when The Sims series is one of the most sold games.

The reason that I've been a tiny bit unsure is that when you compare The Sims 1,2,3 you can clearly tell/see the differences in the graphic and how the neighborhood is etc. I feel that The Sims 4 has to have big differences also from the 3rd, both from graphics to features. I am very excited to see in the future how they will make The Sims 4 ! They have yet to complete The Sims 3 first so there's some time left haha xD But it's fun to think about how it will look and I really love the concept video ! I know that there's a high chance that it won't look like this but still.

The Sims 3 Showtime, the new expansionpack

Hello !

Maybe some of you have heard the news of the next expansion pack. The title "Showtime" has been up for awhile but it was not until yesterday we got some more info about the ep. Both pictures from it, a trailer and a little bit of info surrounding what it will really be about.

Well, what do I think about this future ep? I think it's too early to decide if you really like it or not. But many people on the forums etc. have been very negative about it. I understand their reasons and I feel the same about those. You see the main reason many are disappointed is the new function "social features" where you'll be able to "send your Sims to a friend’s game, perform at their venue in front of their Sims where you both will earn rewards, and capture and share these in-game moments of your rise to fame".

When you first hear the idea I didn't think THAT negative about it but then when you begin to think a bit more, many kinds of problems show up. First of all, if I don't have any friends who play The Sims 3, is it impossible for my Sim to advance in her/his career? Second, if I invite someone's Sim to my game will that cause my game to get certain bugs the other had in their game ? I also read somewhere about the possibility of other unpleasant things like, viruses etc. If you/the other person have CC in your game that the other person does not have how will that affect your/their game ? I know that EA don't take any responsibility for CC but there's always the Sims 3 store ?

If you can't advance in your career without sending and inviting other people's Sims to your game then you won't be able to play with that Sim and it's career when your Internet is down. I also think it's sad that if you don't want to play with the "online" feature then you won't get certain awards. But those awards actually got me thinking. If those awards is something you have to download from their website, like the memories awards then I won't say anything, but if it's something you get "in game" then wouldn't you be able to buy them through buydebug?

But I guess it's maybe too early to get too agitated about it. I mean in Generations, the memories that we got, could be turned off. Okey, not completely but there's a mod for that.If the entire expansion need Internet connection then it's bad.

But other than the social features I think it looks pretty fun, although it really seems like Late night part 2 ^^' I remember when Late night came out that I thought it was weird that you couldn't have any singers in bands. . . but now I know why EA decided to do that. Many people and I also think that the things in showtime should have been included in late night. I mean just look at the DJ career. In late nights we got clubs, shouldn't the DJ's have been included then ? I guess we will have to wait and see what happens when we have even more info about Showtime.

Anyways, here's the trailer if you want to take a look :3
