"The Audition" - a Sims 2 Movie

NEW!!! Because the old site which housed the dance hack has now closed down, here is where you can find it now:

http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=195616

It's at a site called ModTheSims. You need to be registered to download from there, but it's free, and so worth it as it has a huge collection of downloads from an incredible variety of creators.

Because of the high number of people asking me how I did this and that, what cheats and hacks I used, what EPs I had installed, etc., I've decided to attempt a list of some hows and whats.

Useful hacks I used:
THE DANCE HACK IS AT:
www.simtacular.com - the other two hacks that are in the 'Hacks' section are also useful.
www.sims2graveyard.com - go to 'Download', then 'Shaklin' and look for 'shaklin_model_animation_changer' (this is for the catwalk and facial expressions)
http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,10453.0.html - an excellent list of great hacks for movie-makers. I have quite a few form here.
www.decorgal.com - go to the 'Designs' section, and follow the links to movie-making downloads.
http://www.jd-movies.com/ - look under 'MMHelp' and you'll find some great animation hacks.
For cheats, go to www.snootysims.com and look under 'Cheats' - there's a great list there, as well as a guide to using the boolprop cheat.

Expansion packs - At the time that I made this video, I had The Sims 2, University, Nightlife, Open For Business, Pets, Seasons, Family Fun Stuff and Glamour Life Stuff. Since then I've got others, but those were on the computer when I filmed this.

I downloaded lots of the clothes and hair from:
www.modthesims2.com
www.all-about-style.com
www.adele-sims.com
www.raonsims.com
www.simcasticdesigns.com
and some others. Just google search 'Sims 2 Downloads' and you'll find plenty of sites.

FAQs:
Q: Can you/how do you hold auditions?
A: You can't. It's all a trick. I set up my Sims to look like they were in an audition, that's all.
Q: How did you make them walk/dance like that?
A: Check out the list of 'useful hacks'.
Q: How did you get all those buildings there?
A: When I built the lot, I just made a heap of empty square buildings to make it look like a city. When the girls are dancing on the street, the buildings in the background are neighbourhood decorations.
Q: How did you make the fashion runway?
A: I've just posted a tutorial on how I did that. Check it out on my YouTube page.
Q: Where did you learn to make Sims 2 movies?
A: By trial and error, mostly =) A lot of practice, and a lot of watching other people's videos, and playing around with hacks and animations.
Q: What was the point of this video?
A: Just a bit of fun, to show people some of the awesome stuff you can do with the game if you try, and for me to share with people my hard work. And to bring a little bit of entertainment into the world =)
Q: i fink ur stoopid and this movie sux
A: Find somewhere else to comment, because other people like this video, and the good comments far outway the bad. So you're outnumbered =)

Made with the Sims 2. My second Sims2 movie so far - so please keep the criticism constructive!

And thanks for everyone's feedback! It's been really great to read all these comments - realising how many people watch these, it motivates me to do even better on the next one! Which I'm working on at the moment, I promise!
