If you have any interest in creating a Sims machinima, then you need to know about Decorgal.
Not only is she an AMAZING filmmaker, she has also created lots of hacks and custom content that any Simmer would be proud to have in their game and movies.
Sims 2 has an extensive interview with Decorgal up right now. The interview covers everything from Decorgal’s remedy for creator’s block to “words of wisdom” for new creators.
A must read for filmmakers out there.
A tiny bit of the interview:
What cheats do you use the most?
I use game modifications/tools that I’ve created the most to queue in-game animations. As for in-game cheats, the basic ones like setting time, the boolprop testing cheat, and move objects are the ones I use the most. I remember when I first started making movies, none of the cheats and modifications were available at the time (aside from the basic in-game ones although we didn’t get the boolprop testing cheat until later). Making movies was so incredibly frustrating- I had to actually play the game to manipulate relationships to get certain reactions, keep their needs at certain levels, etc. Movie makers want as much control as possible so that we don’t have to actually ‘play’ the game in order to complete a scene. Making movies today is so much easier because of the custom content we have today.
