@lanlyn thanks for the comment and info. I will try typing help and see what I can find out. The rewards are hidden in Buydebug. I have found a mod that'll unhide them but I haven't tested it yet. I have way too many mods in my game already so will try to find out that shortcut using help.
For some reason I love giving the imaginary friends a makeover. I can see no logical reason for the fact that it is so much more fun than making a new sims from scratch. :D
I do tell the sims in the videos to do things occasionally but mostly I just see things they do autonomously. For example that scene between Eric and the two Wolff teens happened autonomously. But I wasn't able to get a usable video of it. All the surrounding objects were pure grey and by the time they rendered Waylon had bounded off the the scene was just about over. So I was thinking I'd have to not use it at all. But I wanted to. So in the end I managed to set it up again and got video of it this time. That's the first time I've done that sort of thing. I do often save as and then go back to a previous save to video a bit more of something that has happened and I missed most of it when it initially happened.
Of course I have to tell them to do most of the things they do such as teaching toddlers their skills, or develop their own skills using various objects or reading skill books or recipes. But a lot of it is me reacting fast if I see a sim doing something. That's why often it's just a short snatch of a scene when something happens. Such as when I caught Maya Ocean at the Wishing Well, I had no idea she was on the lot. Then later on she left and I just saw her in the background and tried to get a bit of her leaving on video. Since then I've found other mermaids at that wishing well but didn't get it on video. I'm wondering why they keep visiting it. When I first built that boarding school I had a lot of sims from other worlds that I was moving to the world living at the boarding school so it is possible they were living there for a while when I was building it and remember the wishing well. I know the boarding schools do attract sims who have been at them and then been moved to their own homes.
So the videos are a combination of me telling sims what to do and sims just doing things. The challenge is to make a story out of the series of short videos and screen shots I have at the end of playing.
I'm glad you're enjoying them. I have lots recorded for another video but am not sure when I'll be able to get it made. Hopefully soon.
Happy Simming
