Yay de derde video die we vorige week hebben gezien. Epic Wood! Alles van hout! Ik kijk er best wel naar uit om zelf machinima te gaan proberen in De Sims 4. Kan ik dat? Natuurlijk wel!

SimGuruLyndsay and SimGuruDarren has posted a new blog on TheSims.com. It's all about Custom Content and Mods.

Hello Simmers!

Since the first installment of The Sims, we have supported player creativity. In-game tools such as Create A Sim and Build Mode have grown and improved over the years, adding more powerful functionality while simultaneously becoming more intuitive to use.

We know some of our fans have pushed the game’s boundaries even further by lovingly and painstakingly making their own Custom Content called “Mods” for The Sims. Your endless imagination has been so inspiring to us, and we don’t want to inhibit that passion for creativity. And, that’s what this blog is all about; Custom Content and The Sims 4.

Our guiding philosophy for The Sims 4 is to enable player creativity, to enable your creativity.

We’ve built The Sims 4 on top of an entirely new technology platform that not only powers this new generation for our game, but is also flexible enough to adapt to the needs of the future, including providing a foundation for those players who want to create Custom Content.

It’s still early days but we are hard at work on features that will make it easier for you to add, manage or remove Custom Content. We also want to reduce the chance that your Custom Content will be affected when we enhance or update the game.

• The first step is the Mods Directory. For those of you who have already installed The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo, you can find the Mods Directory added to your User Data folder. This is where you can start putting your Custom Content so you don’t have to dig deep into the game files*. This directory is going to make your Custom Content more manageable by keeping it from becoming too embedded within the game itself.

• In the next few weeks we’ll post a guide to the basics of file structure and “decoding” our files which will help you understand more about the interaction between Custom Content and The Sims 4.

• We are creating a dedicated section in our forums for discussing Custom Content and Modding. There you can provide feedback on your experiences, seek out help from other Simmers, and talk to the Studio team about your ideas.

We’ve already spotted a couple of pieces of Custom Content for The Sims 4 Create A Sim Demo and can see how excited you are. We love the creativity of our fans and our mission is to help you share that creativity with the whole Sims community. We are at the start of a new and exciting journey of discovery in The Sims 4. We look forward to taking that voyage with you, hand in hand.

Thank you!

Lyndsay Pearson (Sr. Producer)

Darren Gyles (Technical Director)

*Please note that we do not pre-screen Custom Content and that players should always exercise caution when adding Custom Content to their game files

We zagen deze trailer afgelopen week al op Creator's Camp, en ik moest er toen al erg om lachen.

SimGuruZephyr has posted a new blog on TheSims.com about the familiar faces that'll appear in The Sims 4.

The Landgraabs are back, still living it up as the richest family and staking their claim in Oasis Springs. We’ve brought Malcolm back during those awful awkward teen years, complete with a dastardly snobby attitude. Though Geoffrey is trying his best to be the good natured father Malcolm needs, will Nancy’s scheming ways lead Malcolm down a darker path? Either way we’re sure this historic family will provide lots of fun and mischief in The Sims 4.

 

 

Then we have the Caliente household with our two favorite sisters Dina, Nina, and their mother, who has been re-imagined as the attractive and vivacious Katrina. Katrina has ignored her better judgment and let the infamous womanizer Don Lothario mooch his way into her house and quite possibly her heart. Don’s eyes are on Katrina for now, but how long will it be before Nina and Dina are lured in by his charm? Will Nina decide to steal Don away from her mother? Will Dina finally earn enough money to get her own place and get away from all the craziness? All we know is that it won’t be long before sparks start flying!

 

Johnny Zest is an ambitious new character we like to introduce. Disowned from the Landgraab family when he dropped out of school, he now hopes to find his own fame and fortune as a standup comedian. He’s learned the hard lesson that when the Landgraabs cut you off, they cut you off all the way! Living in a trailer, blessed with the Landgraab looks but without the name or the money; will he make it to the top to show mom and pop he had what it takes all along? We’ll leave the fate of this black sheep in your capable hands.

 

Finally we’ve got a new batch of youths known as the Roomies. Your typical sitcom setup with ‘J’ (Jameson) the body building hunk, Gavin the gentleman muser, Mitchell the couch potato bro, and Zoe, that girl next door who is actually right where she wants to be, having fun with the friend-zoned boys.
