Get Famous Cosplayers [Update: CyberCafe uploaded]



When City Living came out, I was intrigued with GeekCon because it had CosPlayers.
I went out and collected a bunch of fun custom costumes for my sims and I built a special lot for them to hangout using Get Together game play. I really loved it.

It's a Cybercafe. Besides coffee and scones, sims can use computers, tablets, play arcade games, watch movies on the big screen, and kids can play void critters. In addition, it is a hangout for teens and young adults where they can show off their costumes for GeekCon.http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/09-24-16_7-01-20nbspPM.png

I imagine that the owner of this business feels cosplayers are good for business, so he/she encourages and supports them.

When we got more information about Get Famous, I knew it would send my CosPlayers support lot over-the-top awesome.


The green-screen, the actor's marks, the wardrobe and make up objects, have expanded what I can do on this lot.


I even have access to special effects:
Spoiler






I now have access to a wide variety of costumes for my cosplay sims.




And they can act out scenes.






The initial intent for this lot was to simply dress up, socialize, and take pictures to hang on the walls at home.




But with Get Famous, they can do so much more.


I intend to bring the media objects into this.
They can have the drones record what they are doing here and then upload videos to share with their followers.
Of course they will be covering GeekCon when it happens.


So now Cosplay is a bigger deal in their lives.




Actors in the making.


I tried other options on the wardrobe platform...


But they were random options for regular clothing, not useful for CosPlay.
I was hoping for access to CAS. This will be useful in a clothing boutique however.


When I want to get specific with custom content, I can use the wardrobe closet.


Unfortunately the green-screen has size issues.
I scaled it down, but the image is still huge. I need to expand the lot.


"Yes, expand the lot, please."


I'll do more than that.
I am moving it. Del Sol Valley makes more sense than Windenburg for this lot.


Studio BPB has been moved to the Pinnacles to make room for my CosPlay lot.


I wasn't crazy about this public area behind the residence anyway, so it seems better suited for a community lot.


I added a back door for easy access to the rear area.
Liza?


You are little people, Cassandra.
Better luck next time.


My pirate cosplay crew are off to the cosplay lot.


Need cars, this is to far to travel by foot.


My lot gets more breathing room and room to expand if we get more content I can use in future packs.


The layout has improved overall.


This is still a cafe, so get your snack on.


I had to remove the theater in the old lot.
Now they can have it back.


And this is what I originally built the lot for.


I never imagined this.


Just something to play with.


Duel actor scenes tend to find random sims on the lot to play the part.
I'll just pretend the regular customers get to have fun with the cosplayers.


I had to see those laser swords, even it they were for the wrong costume.
These are the wrong swords too.


And when a celebrity shows up...in disguise...?


...they can get a nice picture for their celebrity wall.


But there is more
down there VVV.

    I love your creations, the costumes are CC?


    Yes, I went to the creators tumbler trying to find it.
    It's buried beneath tons of other posts and her link to her collections isn't working.

    I did a search and got this list of all her stuff (Wingly Simmer}.
    I already have a lot of it, but never used these links. Finding old CC is often a sketchy process.

    I mainly like the DVA, Tracer, Mercy, and Mercy Devil outfits.
    If you try to use shoes or boots other than what belongs to the outfits, the textures will spread over the costume.
    So no mixing and matching with other cas items.

    After all this time there may be newer and better versions by other creators, so you may want to search around for sources you trust.

    That's a pretty creative and fun idea. That reminds me wonder if costumes for geekcon got updated with get famous.


    I've only been to one GeekCon so far, but didn't pay much attention to what the others were wearing.
    I do have a few pictures and only saw the typical GeekCon costumes from City Living.

    That looks great, very impressive.

    Do the actor marks work off of the studio set?

    You could create a library save of the same building with a different "stage" setup in each, space, apocalypse, pirate, etc. Then, as you want to play a different theme, just change out the buildings.


    GREAT IDEA! :o
    Why didn't I think of that. :D

    Yeah, the actor marks work, plus you can do more than one.
    I don't know how many. but I had two sets of sims performing sword fights.
