Simmer Q&A: Five Minutes with Luke The Plumbob

It’s back! Here at The Sims Community we really enjoyed our Simmer Q&As and we love connecting with you and hearing all about your simming journey. This week we are featuring the fantastic Luke owner of YouTube channel Luke The Plumbob, it’s packed with simsational content including Let’s Plays, Reviews and Speed Builds and we wanted to get to know more about Luke and his simming story:

Q1.) First things first we want to know what got you started on your sims journey and how long have you been “simming through the universe and beyond”? – we love that tagline by the way!

Thanks! My Sims journey started back in the Sims 2 days, so about 12 years ago! My family were very big fans of Sims City, back in the day, and I’ve probably been hooked since birth! I originally started playing The Sims 2 base game and then the My Sims Games- I guess that’s where my addiction started!

Q2.) Great! Now you host a fantastic channel which currently has just over 700 subscribers! What inspired you to begin recording your sim stories and how do you feel about the channel today?

In The Sims 3 days, I used to watch loads of other people’s Sims Stories on YouTube, many people like Quxxn. I really looked up to them and wanted to also share my adventures with my Sims as well as just generally sharing about the wonders of The Sims! I still remember watching The English Simmer and Rachybop in their early days! I’m so pleased with how my channel has now grown, I would of never thought it would be where it is now. When The Sims Team followed me on Twitter and EA/Sims UK shared some of my videos, I was overjoyed to see that my work was being appreciated and it just motivated me more to create more content. My channel has also enabled me to create some amazing friendships, attend fantastic Sims events (like the Simmers Meetup) and much more.

Q3.) That’s fantastic Luke! OK so you have such an awesome range of simsational videos including Lets Plays, Speed Builds and Reviews, which do you enjoy creating the most?

I love making every type of video I make! Having to choose one is like having to choose a favourite child! If I had to choose, I would say I enjoy making reviews the most. I love making Reviews because you guys get to see my first overall impressions of everything new for The Sims, most of which includes me being really excited. I also love to help other Simmers out to see if new content is ideal for them. It’s amazing when people comment saying thank you!

Q4.) We also get pretty excited here at SC! So we have seen a wide range of content released by The Sims for TS4 so far, which would you say has been your favourite Expansion/Game/Stuff pack?

Favourite expansion so far would have to be Get To Work, the main reason because of The new careers and ALIENS! Favourite Game Pack so far would have to be Outdoor Retreat because of the beautiful Granite Falls and BEARS! My favourite stuff pack would have to be either be Perfect Patio Stuff or Spooky Stuff.

Q5.) Is there anything you would personally like to see included in The Sims 4 and if you have played TS2 or TS3 did you have a favourite pack from them too?

I really would like Pets, University and Supernatural equivalents to come to The Sims 4 very soon! I loved being a Vampire with a Dalmatian, attending University in The Sims 3, although the Zombie attacks at full moons were annoying!!!

Q6.) Hehe! A vampire with a pet dalmation, we love it! Finally tell us if you have any goals for your superb channel, do you also have any plans for upcoming content?

This summer, I hope to keep my channel to a schedule and have a constant stream of content weekly. As well as of course releasing more Let’s plays, Reviews, etc… I really want to try out some Collabs and create some of my own challenges! A massive goal would be to reach 5k Subscribers by this year, that would be truly amazing!

Luke’s Quick Fire Questions

Coffee or Tea – Coffee
Cake or Chocolate – Cake (Nomnomnom)!
Netflix or Cinema – Netflix (I don’t think I could live without some of my favourite TV Shows!)
Day or Night – Night
Book or Magazine – Book

We really enjoyed our Q&A with Luke and hope he reaches his 5K Subscribers goal soon! If you would like to check out Luke’s Channel or contact him via social media we have all the links you need below:

The Sims 4: Diverse Custom Content Showcase!

Hello fellow simmers! Due to lack of a variety in ‘mainstream’ or widely acknowledged custom content, I decided to put together a diverse custom content showcase for you all. I was tired of trying to find certain types of hair for more varied Create-A-Sim making, but I’ve done some of the work for you, instead of hunting for them yourself you can watch my short video showcasing all of the various hairs I’ve found! They range from Afro hair to long and curly hair, as well as some head wraps. Many of the custom content pieces come from the same creators, as some are conversions from The Sims 2 or The Sims 3 custom content pool. The poly-count within the meshes for the hairs is varied. If you’re more of a Maxis Match custom content collector, the ‘Dreadknot’ by Birksche will certainly be of interest, as well as the ‘Trappings Head Scarf Conversion’ by Monster Madness World as this headscarf in particular fits with The Sims 4 graphics very well. The other hair styles in the video are a good mix between high and low poly-counts, so if you have a slower laptop or computer you like to play The Sims 4 on, the lower poly-count hairs will be a big help and won’t lag your game as much!

Hope this helps all you simmers who want a more varied and diverse mods folder and Create-A-Sim items! If you want to download any of the hairs featured in the video, there is a list below!

“Surf’s Up!” – New surfing interaction and set

The Sims 4: Upcoming Pack(s) in VOX Phase

Wonder why there hasn’t been a new The Sims 4 Pack release this month? We have some ideas…

Voice Actor Taylor Parks has confirmed today that she’s back (again) in The Sims Studio to do some work for The Sims 4!

This isn’t the first time she tweeted about working on The Sims 4 this year. In February of 2016, she posted this:

Back in December of 2014, she posted this tweet by accident, revealing some Get to Work features that she’s been voicing – 3 months before the official announcement!

If that’s the case, then there’s a huge possibility that the upcoming Expansion Pack will be announced in 2-4 months. EA’s new Fiscal Year begins this April, which means they’ll have more resources to put in for new Pack(s) promo.

But, enough of speculation. Here’s a tweet posted by SimGuruSarah that confirms that upcoming The Sims 4 Pack(s) are currently in VOX (voice, vocal) phase:

In case you didn’t know, Nicki Rapp who voiced Children and Toddlers in The Sims 3 is also back for unknown project(s) for The Sims 4.

The Sims 4: Official Pets Features Survey!

Electronic Arts has sent out a survey asking Simmers about their opinions for potential features that might arrive with a possible Expansion Pack – The Sims 4 Pets!

SimTimes.de just recently got this official survey with the following content:

The last survey we got for The Sims 4 was in August 2015. This Survey tackled many ideas for the game except for Pets.

What would Pre-Teens look like if they were introduced in The Sims 4? We don’t know yet, although LumiaLover Sims made 2 amazing ‘Pre-Teen’ Renders using The Sims 4 Characters + a little bit of Photoshop.

There is a possibility that the Pre-Teens age will make its debut in The Sims 4. In August of 2015, Electronic Arts sent out a survey to random simmers, asking what do they think of the Generations Pack for The Sims 4. Other than toddlers, the survey also mentioned Pre-Teens.

The Sims 4: SimGuruGraham explains SP Feature Cuts and ”Get to Work” Name Ideas

SimGuruGraham, one of the producers on The Sims 4 who’s currently working on Stuff Packs, answered some of the questions on Twitter regarding the ”craft brewing design” that was originally planned for SP03 (The Sims 4 Cool Kitchen) but later got cut.

SimGuruGraham: We had a great craft brewing design written for SP03; sadly got cut.

pascalio5: really? hope it can come in later on

SimGuruGraham: Always a chance, no current plans to resurrect it though.

SimGuruGraham: It wasn’t a good fit for SPs due to the scope of the work needed (too large), and questions regarding the appropriateness of the content that would need to be resolved. I’d love to see it get a chance in a different pack, although there aren’t any current plans for that. There are a number of people involved in the process that leads to our final list of features. At my level, I’m handed a broad theme for what an upcoming pack should be, and then we start brainstorming with designers to come up with ideas for features that would pair well with that theme. From there, we whittle down a list of features from the brainstorm that we think are the best (also keeping in mind if they’re practical to implement), and write short 2-3 sentence design blurbs for each one. We get rough work estimates against those blurbs, and cut the list down to the features we think will work best together for the pack, in the time that we have to develop them. Usually that’s our final list (with minor adjustments here and there), but in some cases estimates change enough after final designs are written that we need to do another round of cuts… such was the case for craft juice brewing. It’s primarily producers and designers who have a say in those cuts, with helpful input from our marketing partners.

JamesTurner: it needs to come back now haha, actually an interesting idea. Could be delicious

SimGuruGraham: It wasn’t a good fit for SPs due to the scope of the work needed (too large), and questions regarding the appropriateness of the content that would need to be resolved. I’d love to see it get a chance in a different pack, although there aren’t any current plans for that.

When it comes to The Sims 4 Get to Work, SimGuruGraham told some name ideas for the first Expansion Pack that didn’t make the cut:

SimGuruGraham: There was a list of submissions from the dev team for EP1. Most of these weren’t seriously considered. Some highlights include: “On The Job”, “Off To Work”, “Workin’ It”, “True Calling”, “Sims At Work” , “Down To Business”, “Back To Work”, “Makin’ Simoleons”, “Nine To Five”. The pack was never just business. Those names were ideas submitted by the team; not necessarily serious contenders.
