The Sims 4 Get Together: How Windenburg was built!

Mid-Century Tudor Modern

The Sims 4 Get Together Expansion Pack* introduces Windenburg, a European-inspired world complete with ancient ruins, Cafés, and discotheques that look nothing like what you’ve seen in The Sims 4. We knew really early on in the development of the expansion that we wanted to go with something more Euro, but it took a lot of experimentation to get from those early discussions to the version that’ll ship with the game in December.

Europe is a huge continent with countless architectural styles and sub-cultures, so we realized we needed to create something unique, but still authentic. We want Windenburg to feel like it could be found in many different parts of Europe while still feeling like its own, distinct location. We gathered some concept art that shows how we ended up where we are, from first sketches to fairly complete images. Not everything in the concept art is going to end up in the final game, but we want to show you the whole process.

Early on, our concept artists explored a bunch of different ideas to figure out how Windenburg should really look. Maybe it should have an “Old Town” area, or maybe there should be a traditional open countryside. Maybe part of it should be on hills? Maybe it should have all of the above?

As we started to flesh out this entirely new place it became very clear that the rules of architecture in classic Europe are very different then the things our Sims worlds have been filled with before. Namely, the variety – since many of the cities we referenced are centuries old, many of the buildings date back hundreds of years. Peppered between old buildings are new ones, creating an incredibly unique aesthetic that we really wanted to embrace. This mixture of old and new feels distinctly European, and we wanted to make sure we captured it in Windenburg.

To embrace this mix of styles we needed to bend the classic rules of architecture and find a way to merge those disparate pieces. Our artists began to experiment with different styles of residential architecture, playing with different motifs to see how they could work together. In the end, we went with something that was sort of a Tudor Modern – a mix of contemporary construction and the kind of buildings built during the 16^th century in England.

Once we’d decided on the aesthetic and how it’d look on a small scale, we had to take a few steps back and think big-picture. Here’s a look at what we wanted the map to look like – and this is actually pretty close to the layout you’ll see in game! There’s a lookout spot on the Pier in the Business District where you can see indications of every distinct neighborhood, from the Countryside with rolling pine-covered hills and electric windmills in the distance, the Old Town with quaint Tudor buildings and repurposed fishing canneries, and the high-end residential Island that sits in the middle of the Windenburg Lake.

On one side of the island, sandy flat areas with fishing docks. On the other, a mansion overlooking the sea (and if you’re lucky, you might catch a view of Windenburg’s elusive sea monster).

Once we’d finished sketching maps and architecture, we started to create some visual snapshots to really show off the districts. There’s one here (and one in the opening of the blog) that serve both as explorations as to how these places could look with Sims living in them, and also provide a visual target to the team responsible for building them in game. We’re really happy with how closely we were able to recreate these in game and even more excited about the different elements we were able to build out as development went on – even that statue made it!

We hope you enjoyed this peek behind the curtain of The Sims 4 Get Together’s Windenburg. We can’t wait to see your Tudor Modern buildings fit alongside ours this December!

How to create a Pose Pack for The Sims 4

How to create a Pose Pack for The Sims 4

In this tutorial I will be teaching you how to create your very own ‘Pose Pack’ poses for in game use. Thanks to the amazing Andrew over at Sims 4 Studio we can now create non-default poses for the game.

What are non-defualt poses?

Non-default means that they will not override any other animations in the game. Like the poses before ‘Pose Player’, they would override animations such as push-ups.

If you have any questions, feel free to post in the Forum and I will help you as best I can.

Programs you will need:

Sims 4 Studio Sugar (*Registration Required)
Blender 2.70

Mods you will need:

Pose Player by Andrew

Be sure to download and install these programs, if you have any questions on installing please ask.

For this tutorial we will be creating a ‘Pose Pack’ that we can use in game. (Not CAS poses)

The first thing we need to do is ‘Open Sims 4 Studio’.

On the bottom right of the screen type in your ‘Creator Name’.

1. On the top left you will see ‘Animation’, under that you will see two options ‘Clip Pack’ and ‘Override’.

For this tutorial we will ‘Select Clip Pack’, after you have that box checked ‘Click Animation’.

2. A pop-up window will open asking you to save your new .package. Name it and save to your ‘Mods’ folder.

Mods folder location: Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods

3. Now you will see a new window with 3 tabs. The first tab is ‘Pose Pack’ this is where you will name your pose pack, give it a brief description, and add an icon.

The icon you will be adding on this tab will be the one you see first, I usually make this icon have a title or an image of one of the poses for preview.

The best size for the icon is 64×64, make sure you save it as DDS format.

1. Next we need to click the ‘Clips Tab’. You will see your original icon from the ‘Pose Pack tab’, don’t worry we will be changing this later.

2. First thing we need to do is export the rig we want to use. For this tutorial I will be doing Adult Female. Make sure you have

‘Clip.blend’ selected, and next to the word rig click export.

I recommend naming your clip as ‘Clip One’ and saving it to your desktop. (This will generate a .blend file)

What is the difference between clip.blend and EA Clip?

Clip.blend – is a empty rig, this means there is no poses or animations assigned to the “model/rig”.

EA Clip – is a pose or animation already created in the game that you can export to edit.

3. Now go to your desktop and open up the .blend file that you exported.

Once it is open and you are in Blender you will see a standing female rig like pictured below.

There will be tiny black dots all over the model, these are the joints that you can move to create your pose.

To rotate the model hold in mouse wheel.

To rotate the entire screen hold shift + hold in mouse wheel.

To zoom in and out scroll the mouse wheel.

4. Select the joint (black dot) you want to move first by ‘Right Click’ then press R to rotate.

(You will see a black arrow)

You can also press R twice to rotate freely.

(You will see a red and green arrow)

5. You can move all the joints until you have the pose you desire.

1. Now that we have our pose, ‘Click A’ on your keyboard. This will turn all of the joints blue.

Then ‘Click I’ on your keyboard, a menu will pop up. ‘Select LocRot’, this will lock our rotation for the pose.

2. Now that we have locked our rotation we need to set the time on our pose.

On the bottom of the screen you will see ‘Start and End’, we want to change our end number to 80 (or higher).

This will create a green line on the “time line”. Move it toward the end, don’t put it all the way at the end anywhere between 75-79 is alright.

3. Once you are done, you can ‘Save’ your pose.

File > Save as (you can save it as a new file or override the ‘Clip One’ file.)

4. Now that we have our pose saved, we need to go back to Sims 4 Studio.

‘Import’ your pose, give it a Name and Description.

You can also give it a icon, by importing a new icon on the left.

(Or you can just hit save and go in game to get a screenshot to make an icon as I did.)

If you want to add more poses to your pack, ‘Click Add’ in the top right corner. This will create a new “Clip”, and you can repeat the process to create more poses.

5. Once you have your info set for your pose(s), ‘Click Save’ in the bottom right hand corner.

Now your pose is finished!

Now you can go in game and check out your pose!

How to Use Pose Player:

To use the pose player once you are in game, ‘Click your Sim’ and you will see “Pose by Pack”. Click that then you will have a new window, scroll through that window until you see your pack. ‘Click your Pack’ then you will see a list of all the poses in your pack. To play a pose simply click on the one you want your sim to preform. Once you are done with the pose you can either click off the pose in the interactions queue on the left of the screen, or select your sim again and ‘Click Stop Posing’.

The Sims 4 Mod: Environment Effect Overhaul

By default, when you enter a room, you’ll immediately be given a “Decorated”, “Nicely Decorated” or “Beautifully Decorated” Moodlet, which will immediately go away when you leave the room. If there are objects with emotional auras in the room, you’ll also be given an emotional Moodlet based on it.

With the new Environment Effect Overhaul mod, instead of just suddenly jumping between emotions when going between rooms, the effects will occur gradually.

When you enter a room, a Moodlet will gradually build up and get stronger the longer you stay in that room. When you leave, it will gradually fade.

The Environment score and number of emotional auras will still effect the speed it rises.

The general “Happy” Moodlets will rise glower than emotional auras, and require at least 80 Environment points (the amount usually required for the “Nicely Decorated” Moodlet) to have any effect.

You can download the mod here: http://zerbu.tumblr.com/post/130971916702/the-sims-4-mod-environment-effect-overhaul

The Community: Interview With XUrbanSimsX

The Community: Interview With XUrbanSimsX

Today I am here with a very special post! I was lucky enough to spare a few moments of Jenn’s time in order to construct the perfect interview about her role in the simming community! If you are here wondering “who is XUrbanSimsX” (which I highly doubt) She is a well known Youtuber with over 140,000 subscribers! She creates exciting, drama-filled Let’s Plays and is the creator of The Sims 4 Bachelor Challenge.

Why did you start playing The Sims?

The reason why I started playing the sims is because I loved the idea of being able to play the life of another person. Experiencing and doing things I normally wouldn’t being 13, it appealed to me.

What inspired you to begin Youtube and Let’s Plays?

I was inspired to start doing Let’s Plays by AndrewArcade and Quxxn. Watching them connecting with people all over the world and sharing how they played the sims looked fun. I wanted to show the world how I played my game, by including rich story lines and detail.

Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to start their own Youtube channel?

I do! Start small, do one Lp at a time and get comfortable with being in front of the mic. Open up, and be yourself. Don’t hide your personality, just be you and play how you would off screen! Interact with members of the simming community. Put yourself out there – reach out. Most of all enjoy what your doing and the rest will follow.

Tell us about your new Runaway Teen Lets Play?

Well, its about a troubled teen age’d girl who is sick of her parents trying to tell her WHO she’s going to be. I am sure a lot of teens can relate. Millie just wants to explore and find herself in her own time. The pressure from her parents was too much to handle causing her to run away. Going on her own. In the LP you can see the struggles she faces, and the pain she has put her parents through. It’s quite interesting actually.

What are your top tips for adding drama and excitement to your videos?

Adding drama is easy, simmers tend to over think it. That’s just IT. DON’T THINK – Just do! When you have spent hours building up your family and they are so perfect, it can get boring. So what I do, is just ‘think’ whats the worse thing that could happen right now, and do it. It doesn’t have to always be cheating. It can be deaths, or money issues. Maybe a sibling that has to move in with his brother and wife and that causes tension. Think of real life situations and put them in game. Its that easy!

Do you enjoy any other games besides The Sims?

I play other games occasionally. Such a GTA – Huge fan of the series. Maybe because its a ‘harder’ version of human simulation, but its fun. I also love some indie games, and other simulation games such as SIMCITY, Roller Coaster Tycoon. To be honest, nothing has kept me as entertained as The Sims though because my imagination can run wild.

That is all from Jenn for now, but if you would like to see more of her you can check out her Youtube channel here! She also has a website where you can find all the latest information about her content and even purchase some merchandise!

SimGuruDrake interviews Rachybop and BeyondSims about UK Simmers Meetup

SimGuruDrake has been speaking to the hosts of the UK’s Simmers Meetup @rachybop and @BeyondSims in their latest simmer spotlight. It’s a fantastic annual event and simmers from all over the world came to the 2015 meetup including SimGuruRachel and SimGuruLyndsay. Here we have the full interview direct via TheSimsBlog

SIMMERS GETTING TOGETHER

From sharing fantastic houses on The Sims 4 Gallery to creating amazing Custom Content, Sims fans never cease to amaze us. Your creativity and passion is inspiring, which is why we were so excited to hear about the 2015 UK Simmer’s Meetup – so excited that SimGuruRachel and SimGuruLyndsay both flew across the globe to visit the meetup! It was organized by Rachybop and BeyondSims, and we wanted to talk to them about the event.

Can you start off by telling us a little about yourselves?

Rachybop: Hi! I run a YouTube channel and do a weekly show called ‘Sims Saturday’ based around The Sims. I’ve been playing the game since time began (or so it seems) and I absolutely LOVE IT!

BeyondSims: Hi everyone! My name is Dan and I am the owner of BeyondSims.com, one of the oldest Sims fansites on the web! I have been playing The Sims since around 2001 and my site is a fun outlet for me as I love writing and creating content for the game.

What is the UK Simmers Meetup, and how long has it been around?

Both: The Simmers Meetup is an annual event where Sims fans from all over the world come together to participate in activities and meet other like-minded players! We held our first event in May 2014 at the Italian Gardens in Hyde Park and the second event was held on August 1, 2015 in London. Attracting over 100 Sims fans, the event featured a modern venue, catering, EA pods, a YouTube and website panel, and a surprise visit from Rachel Franklin and Lyndsay Pearson.

What made you decide to create this event?

Both: We’ve been lucky enough to meet lots of Simmers from the community at EA events over the years (including each other) and we wanted to meetup with everybody for a day out in London. We then had the idea to make it public and invite anyone to attend. We did not expect anyone to actually show up, however, when we arrived in Hyde Park to heaps of new Simmers faces from lots of different countries, we realized that there was a huge demand for this event worldwide. After the events success we immediately got to work to create this year’s event.

Do you have some moments from this year’s event that really stuck out?

Rachybop: There are SO many parts of the event that stuck out for me! It was a truly magical day that I’ll never forget. Creating the day was stressful at times and the pressure of making sure people would enjoy their time at the event was immense, but once those doors opened and people filled the venue, all that anxiety disappeared and it was pure fun and happiness.

Meeting new people and catching up with people I already knew was great! Being a part of the YouTube panel, giving away amazing prizes to raffle winners and hugging fellow simmers were the main highlights for me. Also, seeing everyone’s faces when the Guru’s arrived was just priceless.

BeyondSims: There are so many things that have stuck out this year as it was such a step up from our first event! Probably one of the things that really stood out for me was when I finally got to see over a year’s worth of planning come to life when we opened the doors. Forgetting how nervous I was, it was amazing to see Simmers enter the venue and be surprised by what we managed to do.

The venue felt organic, Sims-themed and it was just awesome to see people enjoying themselves and putting faces to people I’ve previously spoken to online. Another big thing that stood out was when Lyndsay Pearson and Rachel Franklin from The Sims Studio walked into the venue and everyone’s faces lit up with excitement as no one knew they were stopping by! They are just a few of the things that I’ll never forget about this year’s event.

Where should people go to learn more about the UK Simmers Meetup and will you be doing it next year?

Both: To find out more about The Simmers Meetup simply head over to the official website and be sure to follow us on twitter at @SimmersMeetup. We will definitely be holding at least one Simmers Meetup next year, and we hope to take it to other countries too due to overwhelming demand from all over the world.

Welcome back to another week of The Sims Video Spotlight! I’ve picked just a few of my recent favourite finds and I hope you enjoy them too, I’m always looking for new quality videos so feel free to suggest any you’ve been liking too!

The Sims 4: House Building – Creepy Manor

By BSimBuilder

Starting this week we have a house build that in my opinion fits the theme of October perfectly and is simply beautiful. This was created before the release of Spooky Stuff so for those of you who don’t own the pack but still want an eerie manor house I highly suggest you take a look at this! It’s the perfect balance between classic, creepy and elegant.

The Sims 4: Townie Makeover | Spencer Kim Lewis

By Canadian Simmer

Next we have a Create A Sim video, but a little different than the usual. The Townie Makeover tag/challenge that is going around has kept catching my eye and I think this one is brilliant, especially as it’s a whole family rather than one sim. I don’t know about you but I can get lost in watching other people create and change things and see what they come up with, Canadian Simmer did a great job with this family as to me they’re still quite recognizable and that is a great thing!

Let’s Play The Sims 4: Smitten

By Kaleidow

For the first of our Let’s Play’s today we have one I have never seen before, “Smitten”. This, as far as I’m aware, is not a tag or a challenge but something that Kaleidow personally likes to do with her Sims games and has even since The Sims 1. The idea seems to be that she rebuilds each town and fills it with her own lots and sims in a beautifully whimsical, creative style – even including some of your sims if you choose to send her some! She begins with Jean, a happy-go-lucky redhead sim who’s name was inspired by Jean from X-Men. I love this idea so much, it’s unique and I love the different style of everything as it’s so bright and cheerful!

Let’s Play The Sims 3: Showtime

By RoseSimmer

Here we have yet another brilliantly well made series from the lovely Natalie! If you love The Sims 3 you will certainly love this Let’s Play too as it’s so fun to watch and will definitely make you laugh. It follows three sims who are going to explore the professions from the Showtime expansion: a magician by the name of Iris, an acrobat named Hayden and a singer named Taylor. They all have wonderful unique personalities and I’m looking forward to seeing what they get themselves in to!

Let’s Play The Sims 3: University Life

By Kawaii

Our last video this week is another Sims 3 Let’s Play based around an expansion pack, but this time University Life. Kawaii creates a beautiful sim named Tori who is going to major in Art at university and certainly looks the part in my opinion. As she is a sim with the rebellious trait I’m looking forward to seeing what events may unfold, this should be an interesting one to follow along with!

[vc_video link=’https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYkBTYty3eE’]

Thank you for reading guys and I hope you found something to keep you entertained! As I mentioned at the beginning if there are any fairly new and interesting videos you have seen feel free to share and suggest them, it’s great to spread the community’s creativity. Have a great day!

VIDEO: The Sims, in the style of Pokémon Nintendo Video Game

Ever wondered what would it look like if The Sims was designed in style of a Pokémon Nintendo GameBoy video game?

The creative Hat-Loving Gamer is here to answer that! With convincible 64-bit music and iconic Nintendo GameBoy graphics and animations, you’ll definitely wonder if The Sims was actually designed for GameBoy in the first place! (hint: it wasn’t)

The Sims 4 Get Together Release Date

Get Together

The previously mentioned November release has been changed to an early December release. Read below for more info about Get Together, its recent changes, and why they pushed back the date.

Get Ready to Hang Out Together

In August, we showed off our next expansion pack, The Sims 4 Get Together*, including the beautiful world of Windenburg, the DJ and Dancing Skills, and the ability to create and join your own unique Clubs. As you might have guessed from the name, this expansion is about your Sims getting together in really exciting new ways. We loved seeing your reactions to the news, and closely followed all of your comments and discussions.

Your enthusiasm and feedback inspired us to work even harder to make sure that this pack is everything it could be. So we’ve decided to take a little more time to work on the expansion pack. The Sims 4 Get Together will now be releasing in North America on December 8, and rolling out to the rest of the world by the end of that week.

We’re taking this time to add more polish and depth into the core of The Sims 4 Get Together. We think this time will allow us to make the experience even bigger, better, and cooler. We’re working on some new items and features that we really think you’re going to love. There’s a new board game (Don’t Wake the Llama!) and the Natural Pool now has a diving rock for your Sims to jump off!

A lot of extra attention is also going towards Clubs, which allow you to create new social experiences. As we played with our Sims hanging out with their Clubs, we felt like they needed a special hangout to call their own – the Upper Crusts should have a private room at the local Café, and the Spin Masters should be able to have an exclusive Discotheque where they practice their dance moves. You can still take your Club members out and about, but now you can also create your Club’s signature spot, and that can lead to cool personalisation.

We’re really excited to take some extra time on making sure the new expansion pack is filled with things to do, and we look forward to telling you a whole lot more about The Sims 4 Get Together in early November!

The Sims 4: Spooky Stuff Pack Review

Spooky Stuff Pack Review

This Halloween just won’t be complete without a set of good Sims 4 decorations. If you are waiting to get the Spooky Stuff pack for your Sims maybe my review of some of the items included in it will sway your decision. When I got the pack I immediatly went to make a new Sim in CAS. The new costumes added in this pack are Male and Female Pirates, Fairies in several colors for females with fairy eye face makeup in the face paint options, Male/Female Roman Soldier, Male/Female Zombie prep school costume, Male Ninja costume as well with a Ninja Mask available in the hat category. There is also a Male and Female Super Llama costume you will be able to unlock by achieving a gold trophy in the new Spooky Party category in social events.

There are about 62 new items in the pack most with various color selections. The pack comes with 38 cas items, and 24 new build/buy mode items. My favorite from this selection is the Spiderweb wallpaper in aqua as it is a multi-colored webbing. This wall covering seem to glow a bit in dim lighting. There are also two new flooring choices, a chevron carpet and a wood floor as well, both in several colors.

The new items include a pumpkin carving station that will help increase your Sims handiness skill and the higher the skill the more pumpkin styles to carve. I love this item as you can have a variety of pumpkins decorate your house as well as build skill. The pumpkins will spoil though after a few days, so let your Sims stomp them for extra fun.

The new candy bowl will give your Sims a great little jump scare with several different items springing from the candy bowl. This item also comes in a few different colors. New recipes are added as well, 3 new recipes, the cheesey eyeballs (lvl 3), spooky cookies (lvl 2), and the zombie cake (lvl 4), all of which very much fit the theme.

There is a lazer light show cauldron that you can turn on and see the laser ghosts floating around in the air above the cauldron. The tombstone fog machine can be changed to the game lights and brightness too just as any other light in the game.

Overall I really like this pack and I feel you will too especially if you like Halloween. In my opinion I think this is one of the best stuff packs thus far that matches the theme. The small cost of $9.99 for everything included is a great value as well. I know I will be using these items throughout the year not just during Halloween.

The Sims 4 Politics Mod Pack Now Available

Are you ready for more content for your Sims to enjoy? Introducing The Sims 4 Politics Mod Pack! Politics brings three new skills to the game – Protest Leadership, Debating and Influence – as well as a brand new Political career. Oh yeah, and if you have Get to Work installed, it will be active!

The mod adds a new object, a clone of the The Sims 3 Podium Conversion by Cinderellimouse (used with permission), which contains custom interactions used for protests as well as various interactions related to the career. You can also use it to practice skills.

You can download the mod from here: http://zerbu.tumblr.com/politics

Political Career – Start off as a protester and work your way up to become Leader of the Free World. If Get to Work is installed and there is a City Hall venue placed in the game, the new career will be active.

Protests – Create change in the community by holding protests. Protests can lead to powerful Moodlets for the whole household that will have positive effects… or the protest could end up having the opposite effect and create a negative Moodlet instead.

Debating – Take part in debates online and with other Sims. Can your Sim create change, or will the opponents get the better of them?

Influence – Influence the moods and actions of other Sims. Get your friends to cook and clean for you, or give your family a helping hand in their ambitions with a quick emotion boost. (Note: Some features of this skill require Get to Work)
