I'm done. I quit...giving up sims???

First of all I'd like to say that I highly appreciate all of the time and effort that everyone has put into voicing and helping me with my series and music videos. I really can't thank you guys enough for everything you've done. It really has meant alot to me.

Second, I am not saying that I'm QUITING movie making forever, I'm just saying that as of right now, I'm not sure where I stand in the machinima sims 2 movie making world. ***it is not OFFCIAL yet. I just felt like letting everyone know where I stand right now and how I've been feeling.

School is about to start. I'll be a junior this year. SATs to worry about, college, jobs, stress. I'm in all advanced class. Alot of homework, more stress. And I'm always exhaused when I get home from school.

I'm sorry, I really am but I don't think I can do this anymore. At least not this way. I can't have 2 series and a whole bunch of other crap to worry about. It's just too much. Too much stress. The sims isn't supposed to be stressful, it's supposed to be fun and enjoyable. But everytime, every single time I login to the sims to film and work on a video I hate it. I hate it so much you have no idea.

I hate having to sit there for hours and hours and hours and do nothing but film. I'm sick of being in the house all the time. I'm sick of waiting on lines. I'm sick of editing videos when I really want to just be playing the sims.. I HATE everything about it now. I hate having to answer so many messages when people can just google whatever they're asking. I'm sick of spending weeks upon weeks on a video and getting about 30 comments (I know, I'm selfish) and then making a video in TWO FREAKING hours and getting over 100 comments. I hate it.

I hate how people think you're never working on anything because you haven't posted a video in a month with in reality you've been working nonstop (not even kidding) for weeeeks. example? here was my basic life in july,

write scripts for three series
build sets
edit
send out lines
wait for lines
send out another message asking where lines are
edit
film
film
wait on more lines

it was just...it was just not fun.

I wish people would understand that it takes time for these things to come out. This is my life. I'm the only one who does all of this. I want my life back. I miss hanging out with friends, swimming, watching movies. I miss just listening to music and not thinking about what video/series I'll put it in. I'm sick of how I hear a new song and automatically wish to make a sims 2 video out of it. I'm sick of seeing these damn sims in my head. I miss books. I miss my sister. I miss actually playing the sims. I miss it all. I hate the feeling of being alone all the time, filming and working on sims video.

And I especially hate the fact that I feel like I have to do it. Because, in all reality, I don't. I can quit anytime I want. I don't get paid to do this and I'm not enjoying it anymore. So why bother, really? I hate how I feel the need to impress and please every subscriber. But I don't. I don't have to do shit if I don't want to. And maybe that's what I'll end up deciding to do in the end. I'm just not sure yet.

You can hate me all you want for thinking this way, feeling this way, doing this, but as of right now, I don't really give a shit. This is my life, not yours. You are not the one stuck having to film and edit for the whole day. I am. So in the end it is always my decision if I stop or continue doing this.

I am not going to be a filmmaker. I want to go to college, I try hard in school. I do my homework. I care about school. That will always be more important to me. But last year, I seemed to have forgotten that and I need to care again. I have to care again.

I want to read and write and hang out with my friends. I want a job. I can't do all of that and still make sims 2 video. I just can't. I don't have the time and patience anymore.

Oh and for those of you who hate the polls/videos like this, GET THE FUCK OVER IT. Don't watch it, unsubscribe. You're being a little bitch about it. Is this your youtube channel? no. So if you don't like it, STOP WATCHING IT.

Maybe I'll just stop making series. And just focus on short small music videos/mini-movies. Would that be better than leaving all together?

You have to understand...this is hard for me too. My stomach actually hurts...like alot right now. And I'm shaking. I loved doing this..I just don't know anymore...

****On a sidenote, I'll be watching your show/series as soon as I can.

make short films. Sorry you feel this way and I HOPE I never made this happen

[slimjimjerky]

you didn't :)

[milenaproductions]

I feel exactly the same way, but obviously I only had two episodes of a series out before I quit. Its way too time consuming and I wanted my life back, which is why i deleted my old account. I agree with ViNtAgELovv11 though, you should continue with WLA with subtitles (because they're way easier to work with and are less time consuming) but ONLY work on it when YOU want to, and when you have free time!

Good luck with school and everything, and make sure you still log in YouTube!!

[slimjimjerky]

of course!

i love youtube!

you can still message me anytime :)

Sorry to hear you feel so stressed and sick of the process. I know that feeling. Like Stephy said, people don't realize how much work really goes into a short piece of machinima unless they've done it themselves. You've got to put the things that are important to you in your life first and not care what anyone else thinks. Take a break, take some time, do whatever you want to do. I hope to see more work from you in the future b/c you've really got a lot of talent, but I totally understand.

I SO get what you are saying. People don't realize just doing a music video takes hours of work. And since we are young, I really think we should be enjoying life instead of being on the computer 24-7. I totaly understand. And whenever I play the sims it feels like I have to film film film. I want to be able to have fun and just play sims. Maybe even without cc! I know filming is getting so boring for me also. But you have alot of talent =]

[vampiregirlx99]

i can see how you feel and i dont hate you for it just coz you dont want to do somthing its your life other people should get used to it if you dont enjoy making them dont make them,

i love all your series

[Blink182Teen]

Thanks for making your awesome videos. I loved them all. "You gotta live life to the fullest, not sitting down, listening to their crap." that's a line from a song I wrote. Good luck and peace out!!! Love ya!!!

[tamagotchiprincess2]

good luck ^-^

[TheCuddlycute0]

Shut up you idiot she chooses what she wants and what she wants is what she chooses!

[oxoLoveLookeroxo]

i hope u make the right choice. goodluck in collage and in life. hope to hear or get a message from u soon.

^_^ goodluck ^_^

[oxoLoveLookeroxo]

i don't blame you, not one bit. heres one tip or idea, u can take breaks while making the videos. so it can ease most of the stress. and the next day u could start again. like after school maybe or wheever feel like it. oh and just to let u know,ur fans and subscribers r here for u. if u need more advise message me. goodluck in life.oh i almost forgot, do wat u feel is right... not wat people force u or make u to do. make videos that inspier u. and if u wanna stop then, just stop all together.

[IloveMurka]

I can't relate to you in the sims 2 way, but I totally understand. SIMS 2 is just a GAME! Go and live your life to the fullest- don't waste your time on sims 2 and trying to please others. But I hope you will make mini movies! GOOD LUCK in life
