[Note: 2 of these sims have bases that come from the gallery. All credits go to their rightful creators. I simply gave those sims CC complete makeovers.]
Here goes my first attempt at filming and editing a video for The Sims 4...
I've took a leap into learning how to do so cinematically! Since this is my very first time ever completing an entire world by myself, this was the perfect opportunity to get into it :D
I wrote down a video script for what I want to capture. That includes households, builds, and, possibly, interiors. I'll most likely do the households separately because I have a specific song in mind.
I am down to my last TWO builds!!! Slipshod Mesquite and Affluista Mansion left **does happy dance** Since I'm going back and forth about how I want my 'Slipshod Mesquite' interior to look, I began working on the landscaping of the finale lots.
[Note: Neither of their landscaping are going to be like the originals. I'm working within the limits of the Sims 4 after all.]
(The Kaufmann House - a scaled interpolation)
This is finished. I kept it minimal since I have always had plans for it to be on the smaller lot to assure that the Edris House had its pool area. I built both shells back in November and this one was WAY more forgiving when scaled down.
(The Edris House - alterations were made to the floorplan)
This house was the most tricky when it came down to getting it right. I made sure to finalize the structure before touching anything else this time. This will be my most landscape heavy project yet. It's the first time that I'm doing a lot of landscaping. However, one thing about me is... imma make it do what it do!! (lol)
This build is in the likes of the Grabow House by John Howe. I stumbled across it on Pinterest and fell in love. I do plan on it being a generational home.
Ignore the furniture that is how I work. I slap down a million things to figure out what I want my interiors to look like.
I've been playing my game mainly these days but my remaining Oasis Springs lots are coming soon.
If you have browsed a few of my lot CC lists you would know that there are creators that I use religiously! (haha) Due to a change in public access time frames, I'm only releasing 2, of the 4 remaining builds, furnished.
Fully Done: Sandtrap Flat + Slipshod Mesquite
Only Landscaping + Shell: Yuma Heights + Affluista Mansion
As she embarks on her university journey, it was only right to give her a yearbook photo for her high school years. (I may do this for all of the other gens too)
Rose gets accepted into Britechester and has a private tour of the campus with her bestfriends. (Lot details can be found HERE)
A very energic and charismatic Marisa welcomed the girls to a territory that she had known like the back of her hand.
"Welcome to the University of Britechester! If I catch you wandering off during our walkthrough, there will be a STEEP price to pay..."
"Here goes the Pub of Britechester. Though Savannah had used their bathroom to change into something more comfortable, you all are not allowed inside.
However, once you become young adults come back! The prices are always reasonable as long as you have your student id!"
"This is THEE best restaurant that Britechester has to offer! It's called 'The Orangery' and was built by the talented architect GordanJohnson (EA ID) some years ago.
The atmosphere is surreal as you enter and are captured by its unique design."
"Here are two of the campuses historic landmarks. Aren't they magnificent?! To the left is the 'Livin' Rum Townhouse' and to the right the 'Spring Steppe Townhouse'. (EA ID: Hey_Harrie)
Make sure to not loiter in this area or you will be placed on academic probation."
"The renowned 'Poets Street' is what replaced our old home. We may not have it to come back and reminisce in front of but BojanaSimsYT (EA ID) did such an astonishing job that we went with her for the new house!
I hear that a café is still in the works on the first floor..."
Minzy, Rose's mom, ended up calling during the tour, autonomously. So, they all stopped in front of the sports stadium so that they could talk.
"I think I hear a debate going on. Lets go over and check it out once you get off of the phone! Tell your mom I said hey and we need a minty fresh club gathering soon!"
(The debate was ending by the time that they all walked over to the center)
"Well maybe next?!
If you girls could look ALL the way up to both your lefts and to your rights, you can see the two official dormitory spaces. Those twins are called 'Britechester Penthouse' and also built by Hey_Harrie (EA ID).
I'll leave that for when you all move in!"
"Our last stop is right over there... A building that you girls may spend endless hours inside of during your time pursuing those degrees, Darby's Den. This was built by the same architect as the Pub, Simstorian-ish. (lmao) She is the one that built up Oasis Springs."
"I will be stepping down from my position as an art scholar here. However, this does not mean to act reckless as my presence is no longer physically here.
Now... back to my regularly scheduled program! (haha)
This is next up for real this time.
Next Up:
Sandtrap Flat
I'm going back to finish off my Bedford Strait neighborhood!
The Eichler was designed by A. Quincy Jones and Frederick Emmons in 1962. It is a well known mid-century modern architectural piece. That makes it a great tribute to Palm Springs, which I've spent the past few months turning my Oasis Springs into (July 2023).
I want to get my Britechester Commons done. It marks the completion of my world with the exception of the Foxbury dorms that I'll do later on down the line.
The Sandtrap Flat lot is still coming up as I want to finish my Oasis Springs and move onto San Myshuno.
Never posted these on Tumblr but here they are! haha
I did one more wedding to end my not so berry mint gen. It marks the focus going to my rose gen. I noticed that weddings work well when they are small/intimate. My larger weddings are HUGE headaches.
Anyhow, Molly Lei, now Molly Cavazos, is one of Minzy's (my mint gen) first friends when she moved to Oasis Springs. That is the ONLY reason she got an actual wedding ceremony. Minzy's other friends were already married or currently single/dating. Molly got married autonomously.
The Cavazos' Wedding Day @Tartosa
(I used t.o.o.l to have the ceremony where I wanted it to be on the beach)
I know that I said that another lot is next up but I got carried away and started messing with my Britechester. Me messing with my Britechester led to me polishing up the builds I plan on sharing. Polishing up led to... (lol)
Long story short, Britechester lots are in the near future. I have a sim that will be attending in my main save. However, I want my world to look interesting for me to want to play in it.
(T.o.o.l Makeover - Kept it simple. Those outlined hedges took me some time to complete **le sigh**)
(My reference photo for the pub)
My Sims 4 version's palette is aligned with the CC set that I have used to build it. Also, the interior is cozy. My Britechester is heavily inspired by, not a remake of, Oxford University.
