Moving Background

@ZeeGee

Thanks for a look at what a screen looks like and from this (and by this I mean a very limited knowledge and assumption on the subject-) you would need to run some sort of background screen as outlined in Remi's video then use the pose and/or animation player to make the sims look as you want them to then after all that add the music? If so that is some serious creative work going on there as it must take a lot of time an effort to get to the end result which shows just how much talent and creativity you all have :)

The requests animation video is awesome I have been looking for some vampire animations for ages and I adore the TS2 animation of a child dancing on another sims feet I can sit and watch that over and over today directly in the game.

I laughed at the animation book video as I am sure many creators looking for animation poses must find it a very time consuming job.

Lastly that's an awesome video showing how backgrounds are added but I am quite sure it's not as easy as it was made to look-)

I signed into youtube and subscribed to all 3 creators so I don't forget so thanks for sharing all the videos and links much appreciated :)

I am beginning to wonder if the OP has been scared off with the look of how hard it is to do lol

@ilikethesims30

I was just joking :) I know sometimes in the past I have thought about something I have seen and wanted to replicate it then spent weeks making it happen because it was harder than I thought it was going to be.. Maybe you could start with the pose/animation player then move on?

After all the videos and links @ZeeGee posted it is making me wanting to go learn some more while the other side of my head is screaming don't you dare you will be lost for weeks haha :)

@SPARKY1922 More like YEARS instead of weeks lol. Depending on how much time you have. I started a couple of years ago and still have so very much to learn. But if you look at my very first video of Claire Ursine's story and my very last video of the Prequel, I've come a long way!

Very first machinima:

@ilikethesims30 It's a lot of skills to learn but you can do it!

@ZeeGee

I laughed so hard when you said years not weeks lol I can well imagine and oh my goodness those videos like night and day but I bet you were so proud of them both for different reasons at different times as you should be. You have clearly come along way you need to link me to your youtube account if you have one so i can subscribe :)

@SPARKY1922 Thank you and yes I was! But I actually hid the videos of Claire Ursine for months because I was so embarrassed by my beginning efforts. Then several people messaged me asking to see them again. :neutral: I do still love her story and I fully intend to go back some day and refilm it and do a much better job. :smiley:

Here's a link to my channel. I love seeing the subscriber number go up!

@ZeeGee

Subscribed and I will get to working my way through the videos and tutorials (in some cases) and OMG is THAT Mrs crumplebottom AKA the handbag I can see in the Sequel pic because I adore her and have searched forever for an NPC version of her I can stuck in my 3 game lol :)

@SPARKY1922 Lol, I plead the fifth but Agnes does have a handbag :lol: You'll see her story in the Prequel. :) Thanks for subscribing.

@ZeeGee

You are welcome I tend to forget about you tube because i am so focused on my games then all of a sudden I spend several days there and will comment as I go along :)

Also, besides Pixiedust machinima, Lonewolf Simmer has some excellent car animations. Here's her channel:

For a 10 year old game there's still a lot of animations flying around out there if you look!

Edit to add: You don't need the pose player unless you are doing still poses.
