  • ya peoples u have to disable the sound effects of u will hear a clicking sound in your game aka movie

  • how do you get such good quality and also i cant even get that close to a sim even if im all the way zoomed in

  • @JuliaGarrett Look for Gunmod's camera hack from Mod The Sims and install that. It gives you all sorts of lenience when it comes to camera angles. As for good quality, alter the camera settings to their highest and save the file as something high-quality. In other words, ditch Windows Movie Maker; it destroys the quality of your video. Seeing that I don't do this sort of thing often, I wouldn't be able to help with video quality; just poke around the internet for something useful.

  • @Stytched oh okay!! thanks! :D also this video was very helpful!

  • Flying Piiiiiig! :D

  • i need to work on how fast the thing is going because like i can have my guy throw a foot ball on a window and some one will look out the window but it all goes by so fast noeone will be able to no wat it mean! :( plz reply if u no wat to do and no how to slow your movie down so ppl with understand it :(

  • @cele657 Try the slow motion cheat. Pull up the cheat console, then type "slowmotion 1" or any other number up to 8. You can also use decimals to get really specific. I'm pretty sure 1 is the default speed, so if you want to change it back just type slowmotion 1 again. If not that, then it's 0. I forgot, heheh.

  • Hey is it just me or did one of those guys look like joe Jonas???

  • i like the flying pig :D

  • 5:00 sit back and relax

  • Thanks So Much For the Great Tips I Never Knew These Tips Until Now.I Find this very Helping and very understanding.

  • a video about a flying pig...And that was her favourite...wonder what her other videos were like...A video about a wall?? LOL

  • how can you angle the objects differently?

  • what about music videos?would this still apply to them?

  • @ben9999123456 Of course! If you decide to make a music video with TS2, good luck. I know how hard it can be, haha.

  • how can i get good quality for a movie, becausee whenever i do a movie, the videos are always pixelated

  • how did they make fire fall from the sky?!?!

  • when ever i film it comes out really boxy and not clear i have already done high uncompressed but doensnt work can anyone help??

  • Can someone PLZ reply to me??? I have a apple com and whenever I put things on YouTube it comes how horrible quality.I also can't do clear close up shots.I only use movie maker so I don't know if thts y so can somebody PLZ help me??? tHX!!

  • @DEECEE918 It might not be a problem with Youtube, but your quality settings in-game. Make sure your camera is set to the highest quality and largest size by going into the options menu and clicking on the camera. If you already have all that set up, it could just be movie maker. If it's anything like it is on a PC, it'll degrade the quality quite a bit.

  • I god, now I really wish I actually HAD THE GAME. Lol :)

  • this is SO cool

    

  • Hehe i love this video ^_^

  • This Is Cool!

  • Well, I got my TheSims 3 full pc from:

    downloadblinks . c__o__m

  • @theBeanPhilip Fantastic, but this isn't about making movies with The Sims 3.

  • How did you get the curtains over the bed like that... moveobjects on??? really like that look...........:)

  • How we make a sim fall

  • Thank you for posting this :) it was really helpful!

    However, I'm curious. How does one display the other homes in the neighborhood during gameplay? I've noticed that they do it in this video, but never describe *how*. Do I need an expansion pack for that? If you can help me, that would be great, but if you can't, don't worry about it :)

  • @MusicalChick99 Ahh sorry for the delayed response; I didn't quite understand what you meant, but now I do. To display other homes in the neighborhood, go to options and I think it's under camera settings or miscellaneous or something...I really have no idea. Once there, there'll be something that toggles whether or not you want to view your neighbors. Set that to "on". And that's it! I hope...Haven't played in a while, so I can't be too sure.

  • um i have a question. will movies still be good if you use a laptop?? i heard its better to use a computer.

  • @mynamesnotsophie99 Yeah!It is the same.In fact,for me the laptop is just bette!:)

  • Where can I find the school?

  • @osmcooljen You can either make one yourself in-game using the locker wardrobes from the University expansion pack as lockers, or you can download one. There are plenty floating around the internet. But if you don't want to check Google, Mod the Sims has one for sure.

  • @Stytched Thanks

  • How do you make it better quality in the game, I've been playing sims for years, and I can change the graphics and record and change the texture detail and all that, but when you record and post it on youtube its terrible quality, how do you change that? Plz answer?

  • @hailey4677 Assuming you have the camera details set to the highest, it could just be an issue with YouTube. It has a tendancy to rape quality.

  • but how do you record them please answer

  • @Winxfairylove Press V or click the video camera.

  • i need help plz :/

    i have my camera settings at high

    and the quality comes out good

    but when i view it on movie maker

    it looks horrible

    pixel fuzzy i guess you can say

    can someone plz tell me what i can do to enhance it

  • @SemiAnnualDisaster I know how you feel :( I am making a series and I made a movie b4 2 but I am wainting for this little quality secret lets say it looks funny and cute thi way XD (lol) I just need this to post'em on youtube. :)

  • @SemiAnnualDisaster yeah your computer could be stuffing up or else you should try a different editing program...I use movie maker though and it's really good so maybe your size settings for the video are too small? I'm not sure...

  • Good video!!! Can anyone help me with my new video?

  • The thing is i have watched ALOTTTTT of storys and the first time i tried it but i have no idea what my plot is of my story and i cant....... um........like idk how to reverse it or make it move faster... Do you have to have like software??? Hoow do i get and real close close up and how to do medium shots and small shots and how to move out of the scene.......:( Its hard!!!!!!!!!!!! :(((((

  • @lindsayy1981 I know the feeling with plots and such. For reversing videos, yes, you would need special software. Windows Movie Maker can't do it by default, but there are some effects you can download from websites and you might be able to download reverse-effects for it as well. As for close ups and going far away, go on modthesims[dot]info and look for Gunmod's camera hack. It makes all cameras in CAS, in-game, and in the neighborhood able to zoom in and out further.

  • @lindsayy1981 to help you get closer shots on your keyboard press y and that will take you into CameraMan mode press z to zoom in and x to zoom out while you can move the camera with your mouse! Contact me on my channel if you need help with anything eles

  • When recording a video how do you turn the game inter face on?

  • I remember when I first started making movies 3 years ago. I watched this and it helped so much. xD

  • I really want to make movies but whenever I turn on the filming mode, the whole game goes in SLOW-MOTION! It's really frustrating.

    I can't use high quality on my sims and the objects around, because the filming mode wont go if I do. Can anyone help me?

  • @thedafe My computer does the same thing (goes slow motion when recording). I'm actually not entirely sure if it's an issue with the computer or if all computers do the same thing, but you should know that while it's going in slow motion, video playback is at normal speed. The slow motion is frustrating, but unless you want to sacriifice quality, there's nothing you can do about it.

  • @xValiumPrincessx Yes, I know they come out normal but it gets so frustrating.

  • @thedafe mine does it too. it's nothing, it'll film it in slow motion, but when you revise it, it will be in normal motion.

  • U guys seem like the experts i wannabuy a sims 2 but wich one should i buy i'm thinking teen stuff seasons or university I need your help to help me decide guys!

    And bte what would i make a video with?

  • @morgan3331238 you have to buy sims 2 double deluxe first then when you buy seasons or teenstyle or anything else it will add on

  • I NEED HELP does any1 know who to get writing on the screen while the video is playing (for speech e.t.c) on windows movie maker if not any tips on what movie maker to use?

  • @lillylava Its this click on Titles And Credits, then click on Titles On The Selected Clip, then type what you want, different sizes, fonts, colours and effects! Dont worry when your figuring out which stuff to use for it, it will just show with the flower in backround but never mind that, when you finished just click on done! :D

  • how do i enhance the sims 2 video, like i got all the graphics on high and stuff but idk how to make it un pixely in the movie =/

  • @fishbowltakerII setting the graphics in-game helps, but you should probably go to your camera options by clicking on the camera. i usually have mine set at medium quality and size because my computer can't handle it. if yours can, put it on high quality and the largest size.

  • @Stytched I did that =[ It's still REALLY pizelated. And I have a kickass computer >.<

  • @fishbowltakerII ive tried that and it still shows up really pixely, my computer can handle all the high graphics and video graphics and stuff it just keeps on showing up like crap =/

  • @fishbowltakerII nvm its at an alright but its not like the acutal game itself setting though, thanks for the help! =D

  • @kamile257

    When you edit your videos on "Windows Movie Maker" (which you probably should be using if u wanna make sims2 vids) go to effects and go down to where it says "zoom in." and then drag the effect into the little star box thing.

  • hehe 0:42 "there are LOTS of different ways..."

  • thnx i rly nd this even though iv been playin it for years

  • how do you get the words up! i have to use animations!!

  • @kamile257 do u use your mouse or ur keyboard???? keyboard it usually better but if you want to use your mouse thats cool too

  • WOW 5:00!! thanx 4 the vid!^^

  • @hokage; a game called "The Movies" you mean?

  • yes it is. do you know where i can download it?

  • hey there was a game specially for making movies that looked alot like the sims, what wasits name? anyone knows?

  • @hokage97531 that game is seriously rubbish though, sims 2 has like better feautures.

  • thnx this relly helped :)

  • Is That Music On The Video Cuz I'm On The Game Now

  • Thats so much for uploading this! I am thinking about making a Sims movie and I needed tips. Thanks again! :)

  • Hi Stytched

    I have just been watching your video and I must admit it really is very good.

    I really enjoyed watching it.

    Already looking forward to more of the same in the future.

    Cheers to your success.

  • How do you cut the movie...to save time ?

  • how do you do that 5:01 ?????

  • I got sims 3, and you can't make anywhere as neer good films as you can on sims 2, as much as i love sims 3 .... i would keep sims 2 for making the movies!

  • COOL!

  • you dont have to say all just say help

  • @marcoman5699 adding -all at the end includes a lot more cheats that just typing help wouldn't have.

  • this has the best quality video i ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!

  • pokeythecat5, make sure you use WinRar to unzip it after it's been downloaded, and make sure it goes into your Sims 2 download folder :)

  • downloading custom content is just gonna be something im gonna have to keep doing cuz idk how to do it but i want and im not gonna give up buy no mattter wat i do it just doesnt show up

  • none of it shows up at all? what kind of things are you downloading?

  • Thanks for the video. I am new to making the sims 2 series. I have just gotten a new laptop so it fastest then my old computer.

  • Comment removed

  • @pokythecat5 are you doing more than just saving it?

  • @pokythecat5 Do u have winrar? are u putting it in the downloads folder under ea games. and do u estract the files? cause it shuold work if u do..

  • I love The Sims 1 and 2 :))

  • how do you get that box off at the top left-hand corner cuz its really annoying me when filming!!!

  • i'm not entirely sure what you mean. do you mean the tooltips that come up on the /right/ hand side?  i don't know of any other boxes. you can try pulling up the cheat log (ctrl+shift+c) then type in help -all. unfortunately i forgot the real code, but look for one that disables tool tips and other messages.

  • my vids are always so fucken blurry and those stupid ass neighbors lemme grab a gun and shoot there heads off

  • i know everyone has that problem but iv watched so many series and mine is gonna be called the " The Unexpected " but its so hard cuz when i decorate the lot that i want my sims in THEY CANT AFFORD SHIT!!!!!

  • try using a money cheat. c:~ pull up the cheat log (ctrl + shift + c), then type motherlode. you'll have 50000 extra simoleons to spend.

  • how do you make your sims scream? im making a horror movie but i cant figure out how to make them scared. btw, this vid is awesome!

  • most of the time people use hacks to make their sims do things. i would recommend downloading the boxes from jaydee sims (not sure of the link; google it) that correspond with the expansion packs you have.

  • how do you get the green diamond above the selected character to go off?also i made 2 sims videos and they really suck because that was my first time making the sims videos and now i see this and learn all this stuff it is just so amazing...thankyou for your help

  • pull up the cheat box (ctrl + shift + c), then type in "plumbBobToggle off".

  • thankyou:)

  • how do you get all the sims running in one direction.

  • that's all trial and error. pause, rotate the camera, then click once where you want them to go that's DIRECTLY in front of them, then press play again. if it's far away enough, they'll run. if it's too close, they'll still walk.

  • thx kool video

  • how do u put music and like you talking in the movies?

  • yeah because when i make a movie it is really blurry so i delete it

  • the robot lol

  • the pixels come from having your videos set at a low quality and small size. to fix this, in your game, go to the options, then click on the camera and set the camera options to a larger setting. i usually use medium size with medium quality, but most people use high quality with large size.

  • i put my vid on windows movie maker to edit it and it has tons of pixels!! how do i get rid of 'em

  • I learned a lot from this video. Thank you.

  • how did he do the air guitar???

    god, i've learnt so much from this, thankyou for posting it :)

  • air guitar is an action your sim does when talking about music. c:~ you can download some talk hacks from modthesims . info to get them to do it quicker.

  • thanks

  • Well one time I was on my sims 2 games and I wanted to make a quiet movie with no sound and right after I was done I unmuted the sound and put everything kinda were it was supposed to be and now everytime I make a video and then watch it then it suddenly has no sound and I try everything to make it work. What do I do? I really need your help PLEASE.

  • how do you make videos are not blury?

  • go to options (the ... button on the dashboard), then click on the camera for camera options. change the settings from low quality to medium or high quality and there you go. (:~ you can do this for both videos and snapshots. however, be sure to change the size as well or else videos will still be blurry when they're resized to youtube size. i usually do the largest size on medium quality; works like a dream for me.

  • wow this was really helpful

  • DONT KNOW CHEATS?easy *shift+ctrl+c* and write help ther will be all cheats

  • actually, "help" only brings up a few. :3 typing "help -all" will bring /all/ of the cheats.

  • thanks

  • I didn't think this was going to be that helpful, but there are some good tips in this vid.

  • lol forgot double deluxe lol

  • lol on nightlife how do you get so many people in a community lot and what are the hacks and mods in the game that makes the movie better like the poses ( nightlife) celebration and stuff

  • How can i make the sim walk around in the nabourhood?

    I really wanna know..

  • they're not really walking around their neighborhoods. what's actually happening is that they're making an area similar to the neighborhood and walking their sims around in it. if there's another way, i'm not sure of what it is.

    just a little note: you can walk around your neighborhoods in the sims 3. c:

  • Oki, thanks.

    Then i'll ask you one more thing.

    How can i make a video in high quality.

    If i use the camera from the game the quality is really low. Do you know how to make a high quality video?

  • absolutely! if you go into options and click on the camera, you'll find the camera options. if you have a high-end computer, don't be shy to set them all to high-quality, or even high-uncompressed. however, if it's not the best, try medium size and high quality. otherwise, the recording will be painfully slow. it won't affect the speed of the video, though, so if you're patient, go ahead and set everything to high quality. (:~

  • YOU cant only sims apartment life true the city

  • oh em gee ! soo cool ! thank u ! :D but.. idk what version of sims what that D:

  • this works with any version of the sims. c:~

  • כל הכבוד על ההשקעה רק זה קצת משעמם לשים אנשים מדברים על דברים שאתה כבר יודע!

  • o.o uhm....

  • Wat?!

  • thank you for that. i have made really cool movies because of the tips on this movie. so thanks!

    x.

  • me.

  • You are a huge jerk, you hobo!

  • maybe. but getting the same questions starts to wear on your nerves a bit.

  • that doesn't make a difference. you have issues, i can tell you.

  • whatever. i'm not really in the mood to argue.

  • fine. then don't argue with me, and i will never bother you again.

  • cool movie seriously

  • OMG thank you thank you thank you! This has helped alot. :)

  • i can't remember how to pause recording, i'm sorry! normally what i do is stop recording altogether and start when i want to come back.

  • were do you find the settings because mines the same

  • how do you make it not blurry.. all the videos i make are super blurry...

  • you'll have to change the settings in options. c:~ go to options, then click on the camera, and play around the the settings a bit. set the quality to medium or high (or super high if your computer can take it) and change the size to medium or large. hope that helps. <3

  • yeah..but why when i recorded it..and it has no sound....when i pick large...it will says something errors becouse of Spaces...And it says the video is extreme high spaces...And the video has no voice..Can you help??

  • in the settings they should have a play sound option, if u want sound click on enable. and if u keep getting the space error messages put the size on medium or small, cuz ur computer probably cant take it. hope that helps u~ ^^

  • thanks, this gave me ideas :)

  • hwow can you lock your camera i tried what the guy said but nothing worked...

  • i hit ctrl + 4 and nothing happens it still films!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I think is awesome to see..whats behind The Sims2..theres alot behind it..How the people create it, the movements,every single thing about this game is fantastic.I love The Sims2 .And I admire the people who create it. Thanks alot for let us see and let us know all this stuff.Thanks for uploading the viedo.I really appreciate it and I really enjoy it.

    Theres nothing better than this game.

    ~Laura~

  • When ever I film my sims, the quality is always blurry.

  • bcuz ur grahics n settings r low-set them 2 high in the gameplay-there r helpful tutorials, just type in; sims 2 movie tutorials, watch!

  • i have actually never tried making a movie, but i have read before that if u go in as if u were to exit the game ( the 3 dots on the control panel) then there is a bunch of options i dont remember which 1 it exactly is though. but its like graphic options, credits, ect. click on 1 of those then it will say camera options, just change everything to high. it may slow down the game, but its worth it bcause u can always change it back.

  • this is a really helpful video. ^^

    the only major problem im having is that i can't get the camera to move in close enough and i can't get it to move smoothly like you see in a lot of these movies... it's driving me mad!!!! hahaa

  • most people have a download that allows them to zoom in that far. i use gunmod's camera hack from modthesims2, mainly because i don't know of anything better. x3~

  • hmm.... i might have to try that... ^^

    since you download stuff from modthesims...could you help me with something else??

    -

    whenever i download something from a website like modthesims, it never works. there's even this thing that pops up asking to enable or disable custom content. i click enable but it still never shows up. do you know how i might be able to fix that??

  • hmm, are you putting everything in your downloads folder? you might also have certain mods/hacks/items conflicting with each other, but i'm no genius about this sort of stuff.

    usually when you enable custom content, you have to restart the game for it to be really enabled. i think you may have tried that already but eh. = u= i'm not really good with this sort of thing; i'm sorry.

  • yes, im putting everything in my download folder. but i only have...like three downloads-if even that much.

    oh...no i haven't tried restarting the game.. ^^ haha it's ok. maybe that might work.

    thx tho! ^_^

  • loll im a dumbfuck :P!!

    But thanks that helped a lot. I should really start trying to make movies. It's hard though..

  • thank you

  • that helped alot!
