How do YOU share your Sims Stories?
Do you take screenshots? Do you take movie shots, edit the video clips in a video editor, export the project file into a completed movie and upload onto YouTube or some other kind of video-sharing platform?
What kind of videos do you make? Speedbuilds, stop-motion builds, build challenges, build tutorials, CAS challenges, create-a-Sim videos, save file reviews, mod/CC reviews, Sims 4 News, etc? Machinimas, lengthy films, video series, let's plays, still-pictures-and-captions-in-video-form-like-a-long-presentation?
In my own Sims 4 game, I usually like to reserve the Screenshots for my own storytelling. I just take a Screenshot, write a little blurb for the caption, add an emotion and move on. I do this to document what has happened in the game. The Sims 4 doesn't have the ability to share these stories like the Sims 2 once did with the Family Albums, and outside the game, you can just access the screenshots, not the captions. And it will take some work trying to put the screenshots online and include captions to go along with it. Also, you don't always know if the order of the pictures will ever change in the long run, so you can't really record the whole screen and talk about the pictures that way either. You can, but the order of pictures may be off.
So, I just resort to making story videos of my Sims, and then upload the videos to YouTube.
