The Sims Blog: Sims Fan Haikus!

1

Via thesims.com!

grimreaper

A house without doors
A pool without ladders, too
You’re sure inventive

Haikus are one of the shortest types of poetry: just three lines of following a 5/7/5 syllable rule. While that doesn’t seem like a ton of space to tell a story, the joy of poetry is finding creative ways to express an enormous amount of thought in a condensed space. And when it comes to creativity, there are few gamers out there as imaginative as The Sims fans.

It’s no wonder that when we asked our community to come up with Haikus about The Sims, the results were nothing short of magical. Magical, and a little weird. We’ve gathered some of the ones we like the best and brought them all into one place. And since they didn’t have names, we went ahead and named them for you!

Embarrassed, and mortified.

A fire killed my sim.
It was intentional, yes.
I needed a ghost.

I gave him the best woohoo,
He died with a smile

The Sims 4 Mod: Class Clown Aspiration

0

This Mod has been broughtto you by Mod The Sims member – scumbumbo!

This mod adds a new Class Clown aspiration with goals and appropriate satisfaction point rewards. Children who complete the aspiration will receive the Class Clown reward trait to help them learn comedy and mischief more quickly, although their need to be the center of attention will cause their social desire to decay more rapidly. This is a reward trait, so it cannot be purchased and is only available by completing the aspiration. Children pursuing the aspiration or who receive the reward trait will have appropriate whims.

The Sims 4: 3D Models by Michael Long

0

Created by Michael Long!

I was the first artist on The Sims 4, early on in pre-production you are mostly concerned with style exploration and solving broad technical questions. One of the first questions was “What does a couch look like?” So here is a French Provincial couch.

sims4_2_L

Over the years I’ve made many a tree, most of them were too small but here is an example of a style exploration and the first tree in The Sims 4.

Here is a first stab at a performance target for a New Orleans mansion, without textures.

The Sims 4 Gallery: Follow Function is getting an Update!

0

Via SimGuruBChick!

UPDATE 3/2: Over the next few weeks, a number of changes are being rolled out to the way Followers are displayed within The Gallery. With the release of The Sims 4 Get to Work Expansion Pack, you will be able to see the names of players who are following you as long as their Origin Privacy Settings allow their username to be shown to you.

The way your Origin Privacy Settings are set up effect what people are allowed to see in your profile. For example, let’s take two The Sims 4 players: Debi and Matt. Matt wants to follow Debi because Debi builds some of the coolest houses around, but Debi’s Origin Profile is set to only be viewable by friends. With that setting, Matt is able to see the awesome houses Debi posts, but he isn’t able to view her bio or post on her wall. Also, if Debi decided to follow Matt, he wouldn’t see her name in his list of followers – instead, it would be listed as anonymous. Of course, if Debi wants to block Matt outright, she’s still able to do that.

To change your profile settings from the web:

  1. Log into origin.com.
  2. From “My Account” in the top navigation bar, select “Privacy Settings”.
  3. “Who can see my profile” is the first option in the Privacy Settings section. Note that even if you set your profile visibility to “Everyone”, you can still opt out of showing your real name and limit how people can search for you (such as by e-mail address or console ID). Also, we do honor the Block List.
  4. Select “Update” at the bottom of the page.

To change your profile settings from the Origin client:

  1. Open Origin on your computer.

  2. From “Origin” in the top navigation bar, select “Account and Privacy”.

  3. Select “Privacy Settings” in the left navigation.

  4. “Who can see my profile” is the first option in the Privacy Settings section.

  5. Select “Update” at the bottom of the page.

The Sims 4: Interior Design Guide

3

1) Pick a Theme

Each room or home needs to have a theme to give your decorating a direction.  It can be as simple as a colour or colour scheme, to a specific time period or style.  Your room could be a blue study room, or a Classic styled distressed living room, or a dark Modern bedroom.

03-01-15_12-16 PM

I wanted the study to be blue to make it more inspiring for my Sims.

2) Space

Keep in mind space, and less CAN be more: do not stress over the clutter items.  A room can be beautiful with just a painting and a plant.

02-23-15_11-39 PM

This tiny kitchen still looks comfy and full because of a few decorative items.  Consider using different styled chairs to give your room charm.

3) Wallpaper and Flooring

Neutral coloured walls allow for more flexibility in your decorating options.  Think of it as your canvas.

4) Utility of The Room

Keep in mind what the room is going to be used for.  Although the Sims do not directly use most of the decorative objects, we would probably use them in real life.   A kitchen should have objects on the counter; such as a knife block, a bowl of fruit, dishes, a coffee maker, a microwave, etc.  A bedroom definitely has a closet and sometimes shoes.

03-01-15_12-49 PM-2

5) Curtains are your Friend

Curtains can make or break a room.  A room without curtains on its windows feels empty and incomplete.

Without Curtains:

With Curtains:

6) MoveObjects Cheat

Do not be afraid to use the moveobjects on cheat! It increases the possibilities of your decorating abilities tenfold! Put the cheat on and use 9 to raise an object up, or 0 to drop an object down to put decorative objects anywhere! Holding down left Alt key allows you to place items off the grid. You can also resize objects by pressing left Alt + ] to increase size, or left Alt + [ to decrease the size to normal.

01-19-15_3-26 PM-3

Here I resized the painting on the wall, and used the 9 key to stack items on top of the fireplace.  I used left Alt throughout the room to get the exact positioning for the furniture and objects I wanted.

7) Colors

Be careful using too much colour in a room.  Understanding how colours work together will definitely improve your room/house decorating.  Think about contrasting and complementary colours, monochromatic colours and triadic colours.  Also, shades and tones of one colour can be just as beautiful as using contrasting colours.

01-19-15_3-55 PM

8) Test your Limits

I like to sometimes use the Room Catalogue to remind myself what objects usually go into a room, but I also recommend pushing yourself and going through the objects catalogue and putting anything into any room.  Counters and cupboards can be used in living rooms, bathrooms, even foyers.  Couches can be used in studies and bedrooms.  Mirrors can go anywhere you want!  And decorative items are universal.

Objects by Room

Objects by Function

9) Look Online and in your Own Home

Gather inspiration from pictures online of homes and rooms. Watch YouTubers and see what they are doing.  Also, look at your own home and try recreating rooms to get an idea of what a room should look like.

02-05-15_8-27 PM

I saw this kitchen in an Interior Design competition and recreated it.  It gave me ideas of how to really take my kitchens to the next level.

10) Have Fun!

Some people find decorating a chore.  Look at it as a place you can be proud of.  I am always way more happy to play a room I decorated and built myself than  playing one someone else decorated.  And I keep in mind that feeling when I am decorating and building because I know I will be rewarded.
