Hey guys, thanks for all the great comments! I truly do appreciate it. For those of you wondering how to do it...it's been almost 5 years (I think) since I did this so I don't truly remember how I did it. I do know that there was a little bit of tricking the system to let me put the camera anywhere I wanted. There are tutorials all over the internet for doing machinima with the sims. I'm sure the Sims 3 has much more robust video integration. Good luck to you all.
Holy Crap!! This is fantastic!! Utterly Stupendous!!
I'm a casual sims player, but how do you do something like this? Can you direct them, or just do a series of actions and hope you get the camera/angles and actions you need? Ah man, I'm such a n00b.
Very nicely done, even with the plumbobs and speech bubbles. Your camera angles were fantastic and I loved how you meshed the sound effects with the game animation and the sims speaking. Very nicely done!
i have to say i wasnt sure what to expect when i clicked on this, but you have taken my breath away, your video is AMAZING i bow down to you!! omg i cant believe how accurate it is, you simply have to do more of the movie!! i cant stop playing this video lol :)
love this one..if you are a alone boy between 12-16 years post this letter to atleast 3 wideos and press f5 a name will aperar on the screen and thats the name of your love:-)
that was awesome, really worked well! A couple of moments when the characters were goldfishing (ie mouths moving when no dialouge) but apart from that, excellent!
Wow..very cool and so much like the movie. I love that Lester fell down because I wasn't sure what you were going to do, but it turned out to be pretty funny.
I love this! Well done, a funny and touching tribute to one of the most brilliant films of the past decade...
By the way, I don't know if you're aware of this, but your vid was recommended in last week's edition of "Ecrans", a weekly mag attached to the weekend edition of French daily newspaper "Libération" (a pretty big newspaper here). That's actually how I found it —I'm glad I read that article! :)

lavenderproductions 4 years ago
Press [Ctrl] + [Shift] + C during game play to display the console window
use this code:
boolprop testingcheatsenabled true
then right click on the plumbob and click on force error and delete
They won't allow me to put in a URL but if you go to Sims99 they have a forum with lots of help with cheats.
