The Sims Build 2

[flamsandwich]

Nice man, I'm working on this song this week as well

[acuity1980]

@flamsandwich thanks, even though i don´t like this audio and video quality anymore xD my videos are so much better now, i always think about re-doing the sims songs but i have so many other things to do ^^

good luck to you though !

[Trinity5987]

fantastic!! you play beautifully!! and you do look like eminem :P

[acuity1980]

@Trinity5987 haha thanks :) though i still don´t get the resemblance ^^

[1993Leong]

what is name of the song,?please!!!!

[acuity1980]

@1993Leong i think it´s called "bittersweet" but definetely it´s well known as the "build theme #2" from the game "the sims"

[Amortisxx]

I love the stuffed bear who sits in the background and watches as you play.

[acuity1980]

@Amortisxx yeah :D he still exists and nowadays he is sitting on my newer piano ^^

[iamnoone81]

Can you do a re-recording?

[acuity1980]

@iamnoone81 i am always thinking about re-recording this one, but it´s a shame that i am too busy with newer songs. but i hope i will take the time to re-do it sometime. it´s not that i can just re-record btw, i would have to practise it again, too ^^

[imaffia1]

SUB'd!!!!!!!!!!!!

[acuity1980]

[MitsuharuEishi]

I with they kept doing music like this. I don't like the direction the in-game music is taking nowadays.

[acuity1980]

@MitsuharuEishi i couldnt agree with you more

[MitsuharuEishi]

@MitsuharuEishi wish*

[Goblins911]

This is definitely my favorite theme on sims. I sometimes go to build mode just to listen to this. ^_^

[acuity1980]

@Goblins911 =) yeah my favorite too :D

[eenayeah]

ugh when I hear this.....I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT....LET'S JUST SAY MEMORIES

[acuity1980]

@eenayeah yep :) that´s the thing with the sims music.... just yesterday i was playing some sims music to my gf and she instantly had the desire to play the sims again =)

music is awesome !

[GrayEssence]

wow man good job!

[acuity1980]

@GrayEssence thanks man :)

[Oliverpianista]

MAN...... I LOVE IT!!! what is the brand of your piano?? Mine is a Samick WG-3B Studio Upright

[acuity1980]

@Oliverpianista thank you !

and this one is a "Fuchs & Möhr"

[Valet2]

Wonderful!

[acuity1980]

thank you !

[MartijnSchmeetz]

I'm playing this song too now, and I really think you play it too fast. You really need to slow down. And it says 'multo rubato'!

[acuity1980]

yeah i know... i always tend to play too fast =/

anyway thanks for the tip

[MartijnSchmeetz]

no problem :P

It's also my favorite song to play of the sims, but i think all of them are briljant

[autonomous2010]

No worries I often do the same. Go figure there.

I suppose its the ADHD for me. hahaha

[Rienvu43]

i love this song

[acuity1980]

=) it´s my favorite from the soundtrack :)

[seiya209]

how did you learn?

[acuity1980]

well, first of, i play piano for about 23 years.. the first 5 years or so with a teacher, since then i only teach myself.

about this song.. hmm well how did i learn.. i listened to the original a lot of times and yeah, i downloaded the sheet music and then practiced.. practiced.. practiced.. xD and i still have to practice more, because it´s still far from perfect ^^

[autonomous2010]

Wow! I have only been playing the piano for 2 years now...

WOW!!!!

I was self taught how to play the piano and read note sheets. (I seem to learn things better self taught vs having somebody else teach me.)

I primarily play by note sheets but I have gotten really good at playing by ear. Sometimes I mix the note sheets and playing by ear to make it sound right. xD

I practice for 4 hours every day of every week of every month of every year. hahaha

I have problems with sight reading though...

[Merrick0001]

This song always reminded me of the changing of the seasons :)

[ddeeeeessss]

igualzinho o do jogo

[acuity1980]

você acha ?

obrigadoooo =)

[ddeeeeessss]

sim muito legal :D eu jogo the sims 1 e adoro musicas classicas :D

[acuity1980]

brigaduuu de novo =)

eu nunca jogei the sims, só a música XD

eu sei... shame on me ^^

[stinkypillow11]

this may seem stupid but u look a bit like eminem lol

[acuity1980]

ur not the only one who thinks that -.-

its just that eminem looks too much like me XD

[stinkypillow11]

haha XD. any chance of u doing a rap vid?lol

[acuity1980]

i tell you what:

if eminem posts a piano video, i´ll post a rap video

XD

deal? =)

[stinkypillow11]

deal =)

i'll be in touch

[acuity1980]

XD

i don´t know what´s worse. eminem playing piano, or me rapping XD

[pockthehairy]

@stinkypillow11 will the real slim shady please stay seated and play the sims on piano

[acuity1980]

@pockthehairy lol xD

[Lolijox]

Great playing O.O

[acuity1980]

thanks :)

[Xylence]

This is my second my favorite. My favorite of them all is (obviously) the one that's not available in sheet music... Build Them 5. It just blows me away. I'd be willing to pay Jimmy Martin just to get the sheet music to that incredible song.

[acuity1980]

heya !

you are lucky!

since some months, the sheet music is available. pseudogff transcribed it.

check out my playlist, i posted a preview of build 5 there. and you should find a linkg for sheet music somewhere there ^^

[Xylence]

DUDE!!!!!! Thanks for telin' me! I already downloaded it. I didn't think anyone had the balls to transcribe it since it's just so "wacky". I was starting to believe that Jimmy Martin just got high and improvised on that song (which could have happened). This is great... Though the song looks tough as hell!

[acuity1980]

yes it is though as hell believe me..

and i still think it is an improvisation, not sure about the part about jerry martin being high XD

yeah, listening to it, it could have happened hhahhaa

well, good luck learning that sucker. we need it XD

[autonomous2010]

Now I feel like purchasing the sims 1 complete collection. O.O hahahaha xD

[acuity1980]

XD

so be it ^^

i bet it would be awesome to enjoy the memories ^^

[autonomous2010]

Ok well I got it for a reasonably good price today but it doesn't run so well on Vista. :-/

[acuity1980]

:S

that´s a shame

[autonomous2010]

I guess I will just have to wait until microsoft fixes vista. :-/

[acuity1980]

oh good luck waiting =/

[autonomous2010]

so many memories.

[oOo1Me1oOo]

all of the sims build themes are beautiful i got no favorite one i love them all :)

[acuity1980]

:) yes, they are all beautiful. but this one is soooo soothing (which makes it my favourite one) ^^

[oOo1Me1oOo]

^_^ :) cool

[BoloStar08]

this is the most unique build song...like you said, its very soothing...but my fave is the 1st one...or the 3rd

[acuity1980]

too bad they are still too tricky for me. i fuck up too many times in this ones XD

[supernegrojr]

totally agree with you. This one can put me to sleep. you play it very well! 5/5!!

[acuity1980]

thanks man :D

[flippers229]

ur really good it sounds just like it

[acuity1980]

thanks ^^

[Treemeadow]

This song makes me want to go decorate a garden. its sounds like Indian Summer to me.

[cafity]

this is my favourite music from sims 1... It's beautiful!

[acuity1980]

thanks, it´s my favourite, too ^^

[dacrazy07]

quick question. the chord that you play with your left hand in 16-18 seconds of the video, now ive seen the sheet music, but how many fingers do you use to play that chord cause when i play it it sounds funky

[acuity1980]

4 fingers: C, A, H, D

^^

[dacrazy07]

theres an H on the piano. what piano you playing

[acuity1980]

well, i´m from germany, here it´s called an H, i guess in usa it´s a "B". the next white key above the "A"

[dacrazy07]

is this easy to play cause u make it sound easy

[acuity1980]

well, it´s the second easiest one of the build themes after build theme 4.

it´s relatively easy, but has its tricky moments

[flixltp]

Very very nice! But the website for the sheet doesn't work:(

[acuity1980]

thank you =)

i will change the link in the description box to:

gamemusicthemes*dot*com

[ray411962]

[dannyisso]

This is fantastic! great playing :)

This nis also one of my favourite sims 1 build songs as well as the build song no.1 :).

Top playing 10/10!

[acuity1980]

thanks ^^

[Johnny32Razor]

[acuity1980]

[acuity1980]

[MissySherry01]

I'd realy love to get the sheets from you.. Like.. realy.. realy.. :D

thanks in advance!!

x.Sherry

[dvs27]

This is really good!, Will you ever upload a top view for this one? I learnt pretty much most of build 6 from your top view video, it was really helpful:) Thankyou.

[acuity1980]

thanks. i never thought about it, maybe i will make a top view of this one. but i would have to practice the song again because i haven´t played it in a while. sooo maybe you´ll be lucky :)

cheers, alex

[dvs27]

lol ok i'll look out if you ever do one:) Thanks very much:D Keep it up(Y)

[DackandRinger]

I absolutely love all the Sims 1 music, but the Build Mode song sare my very favourites! This is such a beautiful and calming song and you do it really well! Thanks for pretty much making my day! =D

[Daruina]

Nice! Just a question.. where I can find build no 5? I love this piece. where psudo will post it?

thanks!

[acuity1980]

hey, thanks.

i have no idea where he will post it. he will let me know when he´s finished with it and i guess then he´ll tell me where to get it from.

[Simsfanguy]

Fabulous Piece Of Music Again You Are Very Professional At This..Great!

[acuity1980]

wow, thanks. you are far too kind. i tried to play it again today after 2 years. still is fun to play, but still not an easy piece

[Simsfanguy]

Wow If Its Hard Then You Must Be A Master At This Then. Have You Made

Sims Build Mode 1.3.5 If You Do You

Will Get Popular. Cause Your Fantastic

[acuity1980]

thanks and no, 1 and 3 are even harder. i´m a bit lazy to practice this songs =) hehehe

and i am still waiting for pseudo to transcribe the 5th one. he´s about to finish it. i want to post at least the 5th one :)

[HeartlessxNobody]

Seems like the sheet music in the link was removed. What a damn shame, since this was my fave song from the series.

[acuity1980]

try

gamemusicthemes*dot*com

[texashorns76]

Definitely my favorite as well!

[Sanandreas33333]

i dnt like the Build Music! :D But u playing it! BRILL

[acuity1980]

thank you :D

[RandomNoir]

Pretty good!

[nakluts]

just perfect

[acuity1980]

thank you =)

[poscam24]

This was my favorite build song. I can play it with quite a few stumbles, but you do a great job!

[acuity1980]

wow, thanks =)

[mellowmaromi1]

Great playing, I wish to learn this, despite the fact that I can't read music..

I want to play it at my Aunt house who used to play the sims all the time, see if she recognizes it..

[acuity1980]

i think she will =)

the song is really fun to play, too.

[ashcalet]

wow! ilove it. nice work :) sorry i accidentally clicked the "worth watching" rating..

[acuity1980]

ah no problem :) still five stars, hehe

thanks for commenting !

[MyBootyHurts]

The piano is out of tune? Crap! Never noticed. LOL This was done brilliantly thou. I can't believe U played all the Sims 2 bulid songs. Some of them sound really hard!

[acuity1980]

thanks mate !

but i only played 3 our of 6 build themes yet. for build 1 and 3 i am too lazy to learn, and build 5 i will start to practice as soon as the transcription is ready =)

can´t wait for that one. build 5 is the best of all in my oppinion. =)

thanks for the kind (and funny) comment :)

[Septimius]

Dude. Get the piano tuned. Good playing and all, but the out of tune piano really muddies up those dissonant chords

[acuity1980]

no need to tune my piano, i have a new digital piano. when i feel in the mood of it, i´ll re-record this one, too as i did with many other videos with which i wasn´t happy with the sound quality :)

thanks for commenting

[Septimius]

A digital piano can never replace an actual piano :)

[acuity1980]

that might be true. but that depends on the acoustic piano that you have and it´s a matter of taste.

i played on my acoustic for 10 years and i think the digital piano is better.

i still have the acoustic though. for recording and playing at night the digital piano is definetely better for the job.

besides, i like the sound of the yamaha more than the acoustic one.

if you want to know if i would take a digital piano instead an acoustic grand: NO =)

[Septimius]

intermodulation-theory shows quite simply that a digital piano can never achieve the acoustic intermodulation no matter how quick future computers turn out - so while it may make it simpler, they can never actually replace them ;)

[budoy74]

but the site that you posted on the description box did not work.. there is an error when you go the the midi page...

[acuity1980]

hmmmm. maybe try this site here:

gamemusicthemes(dot)com

[budoy74]

do you got a sheet for this like a MIDI ..

[acuity1980]

you can download the sheet music from the site that i posted in the description box -.-

[maszlagma]

Ohh this is great! Thanx for the links! :D

[acuity1980]

you´re welcome !!

thank you for commenting

[italianchriswilko100]

very nice job man is really hard song to play yes? can you play build 1? because that was my favourite...

[acuity1980]

it has it´s tricky parts, yes. but overall it´s one of the easier ones. build 1 is still too difficult. and i am too lazy to practice it :D

[kimkyok]

OMG I love this song! If you played this for someone on their anniversary that would be wonderful!

[acuity1980]

:)

thanks

[bhzrdrs4]

[acuity1980]

[acuity1980]

[Bubbaleur]

i like all of the songs

this one sounds like a song that would be played in a fancy restaurant...luhvt

[bill2893]

i've started playing this song

but it's the most chordy of the sims pieces

and it's taking the longest

but one of the best

[ErinJanus]

Amazing! :)

Tuturial? I wanna learn.

[acuity1980]

thanks :)

but i´m not good with tutorials, sorry

[Hrisdolgr]

very nice thx for the upload

[acuity1980]

you are welcome :D

[noface241]

amazing

[JakobBulow]

Really great job, i've seen all of your movies posted with the Sims music in it. Real nice, but your piano is a bit out of tune - or could be bad sounds quality :)

[acuity1980]

both :D

out of tune and bad sound quality, hehe

but thanks anyway :)

[paulomoniz]

I've got to say, portuguese is one of the most dificult languages to learn, and I can see you learned it really fast! Sorry my interference, lol. By the way, excelent music, and well played :)

Devo dizer que o Português é das línguas mais difíceis de aprender, e posso ver que aprendeste bem depressa! Desculpa a interferência, lol. Já agora, música excelente, e bem tocada :)

I'm from Portugal | Sou de Portugal

[acuity1980]

muito obrigao :D

mas agora eu moro na alemanha de novo e infelizmente eu nao falo mais portugues :(

[Luuksz]

wonderfull:O I love the sims and the music. But you play it beautifully on your pianno:O. Thanks!! and greatings from tiny holland:P

[kobioor]

beautiful, greatings from me:)

[acuity1980]

thanks, greetings back :)

[CoeTeRiSPaRiBuS]

Speak portuguese?

If yes:

Amigo, eu gostaria de saber quais são os nomes das músicas do modo de construção do The Sims.

Eu gostaria de saber onde eu encontro as partituras porque eu quero adaptar para a guitarra.

Desculpe por não saber falar inglês, hehe!

(Name of music?)

Thankyou!

[acuity1980]

Oi amigo !!

eu vou tentar responder em portugues, eu moro no brasil só há 5 mêses agora, e vc pode imaginar que não é fácil :)

Então, vc pode baixar as partituras nesse (ou desse, eu odeio preposições..) site:

gh[ponto]ffhsrine[ponto]org

Eu não sei os nomes de todas as músicas, pelo menos o "sims build theme nr.2 " se chama "bittersweet"

Boa sorte com a adaptação (essa palavra existe??)

E eu desculpe por não saber falar português direito :)

Eu espero que vc entenda

Falou,

Alex

[acuity1980]

ah, desculpa, eu já vi que eu escrevi errado, o site se chama

gh[ponto]ffshrine[ponto]org

[stefanoboxing]
