Build Avalon by Bakafox

Take a whiff Sims and simettes, cuz Spring is here at last OK so, it’s still cold outside… and it’s February… and I still can’t see my lawn...But today, the sun set about an hour later (yay!), so I will take it! Any old’ reason to start thinking about a wardrobe overhaul, right?! Thankfully in our Sim world we can finally live through all the joys of the seasonal wardrobes (thank you The Sims 3 SEASONS) - or not (thank YOU, Shift + Click ground)...at SF Magazine, however, we decided to forgo this seasons typical “Spring” inspired fashion for something a bit more “adventurous” - SF Magazine’s homage to the more fun and creative side of Sim- fashion.

So if you are looking for something a bit different; then you’re definitely in the right place. This month’s issue has got your fantasy inspired shoots like Asia’s whimsical “Alice: Adventures in Wonderland”– Sexy superheroes, in Darko’s “Bad Super Hero” – Sexy super heroines in Simeve’s “La Sim Nikita” and, well, pretty much everything else in between. Truly a fun hodgepodge of some of our staff’s most creative work yet – we do hope you enjoy!

Editor’s Notes

While I’ve got all of your attention, we at SF would also like to announce that we are planning a re-haul of our website. Unfortunately, with all the work that goes into the magazine, it has been sorely neglected - and for that we apologize to all our site members. We are, however, working on updating and introducing new fun content, committing ourselves to evolve in not just bringing you top features and visuals, but to increase our commitment to finding new and unique features for you to try in order to further enhance your Sims experience. To start things off we plan on bringing back one of our most popular photography competition - check out this issue’s ad This competition will feature some great prizes, which includes a copy of The Sims 3 University Life, as well as an internship and Fashion editorial with SF Magazine. So don’t forget to stop by the site and check it all out.

Adventures in Wonderland FEATURE BY ASIASHAMECCA

Dyesterday ear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And things went on just as usual. I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think.

Was I the same when I got up this morning?

I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’

Ah, that’s the great puzzle!

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!”

And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! and through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.”

‘It seems very pretty,’ she said when she had finished it, ‘but it’s rather hard to understand!..

`If everybody minded their own business,’ the Duchess said in a hoarse growl, `the world would go round a deal faster than it does.’ `Which would not be an advantage,’ said Alice, who felt very glad to get an opportunity of showing off a little of her knowledge. `Just think of what work it would make with the day and night!

You see the earth takes twenty-four hours to turn round on its axis--’ `Talking of axes,’ said the Duchess,

`chop off her head!’

Alice looked up, and there stood the Queen in front of them, with her arms folded, frowning like a thunderstorm. `A Fine day, your Majesty!’ the Duchess began in a low, weak voice. `Now, I give you fair warning,’ shouted the Queen, stamping on the ground as she spoke; `either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! Take your choice!’

The Duchess took her choice, and was gone in a moment.

`Let’s go on with the game,’

the Queen said to Alice.

This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear: she got up in great disgust, and walked off...`At any rate I’ll never go there again!’ said Alice as she picked her way through the wood. `It’s the stupidest tea-party I ever was at in all my life!’

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn’t be. And what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?”

But when the melancholy fit shall fall Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud, That fosters the droop-headed flowers all, And hides the green hill in an April shroud; Then glut thy sorrow on a mor ning rose, Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave, Or on the wealth of globed peonies; Or if thy mistress some ric h anger shows, Emprison her soft hand, and let her rave, And feed deep, deep upon her peer less eyes.

She dwells with Beauty -- Beauty that must die; A n d J o y, w h o s e h a n d i s e v e r a t h i s l i p s Bidding adieu; and aching Pleasure nigh, Tur ning to poison while the bee-mouth sips; Ay, i n t h e v e r y t e m p l e o f d e l i g h t Ve i l e d M e l a n c h o l y h a s h e r s o v r a n s h r i n e, Though seen of none save him whose strenuous tongue Can burst Joy’s grape against his palate fine; His soul shall taste the sadness of her might, And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

Find these beatiful creations and more at: http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/lillka

F

ashionable choices abound for Adult & Young Adult Sims. No matter what your style, it’s out there. But for the younger Sim, the going can get a bit tougher. Well we say those who cry that they can never find attraction cloths for the discerning younger Sim should take a moment and check out lilka. lilka makes great Adult wear, but the bulk of her excellent creations are fashionable items for those forgotten teens, children and even toddlers.

While planning this interview I have to say I downloaded almost all of lilka’s creations and haven’t regretted one yet. We’re happy to have this chance to get to know her better...

Please tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Katharina, I’m married and have two wonderful daughters and a maltese dog named Lilly. I live with my family in Germany. I’m a FA Artist at TSR, and happy to be a member of the TSR family.

In my free time I love to create clothes for the Sims. It has become my new hobby and my daughters are my harshest critics. Otherwise I like to read.

I’m interested in photography and psychology. I like to see comedies, love sport and I’m a fan of Depeche Mode.

M I LOVE your creations. They are

so fun and fresh! How would you describe your personal style?

I’m very happy to hear that you like my creations. That encouraged me to keep going :) My personal style is casual, simple & sporty. Not too chic. I also like to wear jeans and T-shirt and the colors black & white.

Why did you decide to create mainly for teens and younger?

It gives me a lot more fun to create clothing for children than for adult Sims. I don’t exactly

know why, but I think because the kids clothes are colorful, playful and funny. I just love it and I have a lot more ideas and I can really let off steam. In addition there are not so many clothes for kids, so I try to balance it somehow :)

V

What inspires you to create? And where do you find inspiration for the things you make?

I admired all the artists who created such great creations for the game and I still do.

I was curious and wanted to find out how to create the essential clothes for the Sims.

I realized that it won’t be easy. Especially because almost all of the tutorials are in English and my English is very bad.

Nevertheless, I have not given up. I was very ambitious and have practiced and tried until I understood it. Especially I thank Ekinege for their great clothing tutorial. So it happened that I began to create for the Sims. It was really spontaneous and I never thought that one day I would be a FA Arist.

I take my inspiration mainly from the Internet, from magazines with children clothing and from my surroundings.

There are many wonderful clothes for children and when I like something, I try to imitate it. Most of the clothes I made for teens and kids do exist in real life. I also get requests and try to investigate this, as well as possible.

T What are some of the joys

of creating for the Sims?

What are some of the frustrations?

I have alot fun on creating.

I love to create, especially if I manage to create

38

the creation that looks exactly as I had imagined. I just love it and when I’m done with a creation I’m looking forward to the next. But the greatest joy I have, when I get positive feedback on my creations, it’s the biggest reward for me. Then I’m happy.

I think the most frustrates I have, when I don’t succeed at meshing sculpt a mesh as desired.

S

What advice do you have for aspiring Sims designers?

The budding Sim designers shouldn’t give up if some projects don’t succeed immediately as you could imagine. You will quickly get discouraged and want to quit. That was how I felt in the beginning.

The more you create and perform, the more it really pays off. The best and the most understandable clothing tutorial for me was from Ekinege on TSR. Download it too, and you will see, that it’s not as difficult as you think :)

U

In the future, what would you like to see more of in the Sims games and in the Sims community as a whole?

My favorite add-ons in Sims 2, were Pets and Seasons. That were the two I wanted the most for Sims 3. Because the add-ons are already available, I would wish that EA comes out one vacation add-on, where Sims can really make a vacation, relax and enjoy the free time. Otherwise I’m completely satisfied and I’m exited for what comes next. :)

Kid Town New in

Feature by SmokyTopaz

Moving from a small town into a bigger town, not the biggest town, not yet more contacts are needed. A certain style, a way of looking - but a solitary soul. There is a streak of steel there a sense of determination - the need to become more than now. There is also a strong sense of self and confidence that the future holds huge promise.

But this town feels lonely as though noone else quite understands and knowing no-one is not easy. It is not easy always struggling with a sense of being just a little different and not being sure of place or position. Knowing you are not a party person. Really not a party person when the world seems to want to party.

41

42

43

Is it cowardice or bravado to run away from love? Not yet ready for commitment, running away can seem the only choice. But memories come with you. Here no one knows no one cares.

Strut the style and move with confidence and everyone will belive what they see.

Yet someone has noticed, someone has been seen. They have not yet made themselves known but they are there and watching. They saw the style..... they know what is possible.

The new kid in town is one to watch.

Ever feel like you should be placed in a spotlight because your outfit is so perfectly meshing that it would be a crime if it wasn’t showcased?

Well, we feel you.

That’s why for our latest shoot we decided to dress our model Lily Cole as a work of art and have her very own spotlight in the Sim City Museum. She did an incredible job and those who stopped by to see her were not at all intimidated.

ts that time when the sexy dresses come out from hiding and the stiletto’s are sharpened and ready for walking. One of our favorite things about going on a date is dressing up and having your date drool…and turning a few heads when you’re out with him doesn’t hurt either.

Makes him realize what a catch he has got!

We at SF like to give you options; whether it’s a very revealing or a more demure and innocent dress you’re looking for, we have handpicked some for you to try.

Nothing is more alluring than showing skin and all our dresses do just that. There are the leggy dresses, the backless dresses, the cut out dresses, the strapless dresses, the frills and lace dresses and of course we can’t forget the shimmering light catching sequined dresses. There is bound to be something here that will set your date night a fire. And with all lovely dresses, we have to eloquently pair a pair of stilettos with them. Many of the shoes we have shown here come in different colors to match your dress. If you’re wearing something fancy remember to pick shoes and accessories that will highlight your dress. You don’t want to be a clash of colors and patterns, leave that to the experts on the runway. For date night always go with something within your comfort range so that the night is memorable for the events that occurred.

A SUNDAY// MORNING A lazy Sunday morning with nothing to do. The luxury. Nothing but time and yours to spend it however you want. Nothing to do but be yourself. Really nothing to do but just be.

Is it a vacation? A Summer home in the country? Are you a lady of leisure? Is this your day every day? For most of us, it isn’t. But that’s what the Sims is about. Living the dream. Making your dream a reality. If only for a little while.

These are the days to remember. When nothing happened but what you wanted to happen. These are classic looks to do it in.

Make your next lazy Sunday truly yours.

REEL REVIEWS Reviews by Jorghahaq

Spotlight on

BRAINSTRIP PRODUCTIONS Gus Rockman, out of Argentina, is the creative mind behind Brainstrip Productions and received accolades for his futuristic film Neon at SIFF in spring 2012. He is considered

by Simatography a “Machinima Master”, one who has expert experience in creating machinima and all of it’s components from costumes to editing and soundtrack to storyline.

While Neon was a more serious

storyline, Gus does provide lighter offerings such as “A Day in the Life of a NPC” and his Halloween offering of Dead Dream where he manages to create a rather large zombie hoard.

Gus is as creative as he is meticulous with his machinima, a perfectionist in every way. There are many ideas running around in his head and will be interesting to see what he comes out with next.

You can find all of his work on his website: http://brainstrip.webs.com/

Notable

TITUS LINDE:

https://www.youtube.com/user/TitusLinde Another of Simatography and SIFF’s “Machinima Masters”. Titus Linde’s film “First” placed second in the Fall 2012 Machinma Masters category and first place for Best Film in Fall 2011 for “All I Need”. Titus is from German and has offerings in both English and German. She works primarily in Sims 2 and does remarkable work. She has made everything from music videos to short films to a German talk show.

EDUARDO CASTELINNE:

http://www.youtube.com/user/EduTS3 Eduardo Castelinne is from Brazil and is currently one of the most talked about machinia makers. Eduardo combines music, special effects and musical performances that would rival any professionally made music video today. He isn’t afraid to use elaborate costumes or set designs and has a very unique artistic vision that never fails to blow everyone away.

FAALQ (ALSO KNOW AS PISCIS):

94

http://www.youtube.com/user/faalq Faalq is also from Argentina. It’s surprising that his work hasn’t gotten more attention as every aspect is very well put together from the story to the editing and voice acting. He has made music videos as well as short voice acted films including a seven part series called “Unforgivable” and is currently working on another remarkable series called “The Red Balloon”.

Images and Questions by ASIASHAMECCA Sims and Answers by BUCKOSNORT

http://buckosims.blogspot.com/ http://mypage.thesims3.com/mypage/buckosnort

S

ims are a matter of taste. Some are... extreme. Some are so drop dead gorgeous they’re almost scary and some are just so dang pretty you have to put them in your game. The Sims of Buckosnort fall into this category. They have a dreamy soft quality that makes them unforgettable. Buckosnort’s Sims are like that third bed in the Three Little Bears... juuuusssst right.

We’ve been following her Sims 3 page the forum thread for a while now and now her blog.

We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to chat with this talented Sim maker.

Please tell us a bit about yourself. Also I’m dying to ask... where does the name Buckosnort come from?

My name is Allison and I am a bit of a Sims-addict. Some things that I love include anything vintage, photography, editing, playing Sims of course and music because what is life like without it? Anyways back to Sims! I have been playing the Sims ever since it first came out a long time ago, though I didn’t know that there was a lovely Sim community online until Sims 3!

When I was playing way back when I spent a lot of time playing with families and building them nice houses. I really miss being able to play with my Sims but in other cases I love what I do now! In-game I spend a lot of my time creating Sims, taking pictures and editing them. I have just gotten a grasp on editing pictures and I feel like I’m getting much better at it now!

My username buckosnort was actually my brothers nickname and ever since I heard it, it stuck with me! It sounds kind of embarrassing but I love it, especially since I get the unusual nicknames on the site such as bucky and bucko :) 97

What made want to start creating for the Sims?

I have always loved creating!

If I had known about the Sims community before, I would have started sharing my creations a long time ago.

What really made me want to start creating was all of the talent that other Simmers obtained. After I had signed up online, I remember myself looking through the Sim Exchange pages and thinking “Wow I wish I could make a Sim like that!” Then the next thing I knew, I was creating Sims to share with everyone!

Why did you make the decision to start your own blog?

My decision to start my own blog started when I wanted to advertise my Sims. I also loved the idea of customizing a blog that fit my personality and not on My Page which is very plain. I would also say that I wanted to make a blog so that I could post updates on my Sims and my own life :) What are some of the joys of maintaining your own blog site? What are some of the challenges?

One of my favorite things about having my own site and maintaining it is when I log into my email and I see notifications for new comments over at my blog. Lovely comments warm my heart and they are one of my most favorite things in the world. I also enjoy being able to customize it like I said before.

One of my challenges is posting updates. I’m really bad at it! But other then that

I don’t have a lot of trouble with having my own site. If I have trouble or any questions I go on Google!

Who are some of your favorite Sims creators and why?

I’d say my favorite Sim creators are Vacakmorgo and ChemicalWibs.

Their Sims are always so breathtaking, realistic and very unique. Both of them inspired me to start creating! I have seen their Sims for a while now and they never cease to amaze me. These two literally have true talent when it comes to making Sims.

On average how long does it take you make a Sim? When do you look at that special Sim and say “This one is ready to show the world”?

This may shock some people, others not but on average probably 1-2 days depending on my availability to be in-game. I actually recently moved my game over to a new User on my computer and now my game is much faster, so that average will probably drop.

This is how I know that my Sims are ready to be shown to the world! In my head I go through some minor questions such as...

Is this Sim unique? Realistic? Would other people like to have him/her in-game?

When all answers are yes, I upload them! I also know that I am ready to show everyone when I open up my photo editor and start making their headshot. The headshot to me is very important. When I see that it is perfect and is upload ready, that’s is when I know :) Besides your awesome new image editing forum thread, what advice do you have for aspiring Sims creators out there?

My advice to aspiring Sim creators would be this: Do not be afraid to show people what you have created. Don’t hold back thinking that he/she isn’t good enough and that no one will like them. Everyone creates different looking Sims and everyone has a different taste. There will always be someone out there that loves your Sims :)

99

In addition, If you want your Sims to be known you need to advertise. I think the best way is to start posting them over at the Forums. Once you make friends that are in-love with your creations, they will keep supporting you. You may also want to create a blog or even start a showcase thread.

Whatever you choose, do not be scared! Let the world know that these are my creations, go and check them out!

In closing, what would you as a creator and a lover of the Sims like to see more of in the Sims community and the Sims as a whole?

Some things that I would like to see for the Sims as a creator would be some curly male hair. I don’t see much of it around and I would love to use it on my Sims.

I would also like to see height added to the game. Some people say that it is impossible because then many of the actions between Sims would be glitchy but I still have high hopes :) What I would like to see when it comes to games is possibly a vacation expansion pack which I imagine to be sort of like the Castaway game for the Ps2. I love the idea of boats, cruises and being able swim and fish in the ocean.

For the Sims Community, I would love to have My Page customization back. I miss being able to change the background on my pages :)

HIS HIDDEN

AGEND FEATURE BY DR. MUSIX

Just like women’s lingerie, mens underwear also has different styles. Famous designer brands such as Calvin Klein Mens Underwear, have released many lines of this apparel to meet the distinctive fashion taste of men. Among the various styles available on the market, men’s top two choices when it comes to undergarment are briefs or mens boxer shorts.

Briefs are the more traditional style of mens underwear. The most distinct characteristic of briefs aside from their shape is its coverage of the butt. Unlike other more contemporary and risqué types of mens underwear, they have enough fabric length to cover the whole butt. In general, briefs are best suited for men whose jobs are sedentary or require much physical efforts. This is because these undergarments give more freedom for leg and thigh movement.

On the other hand, mens boxer shorts are less fitting and have the simplest structure of all. Obvious, these have a greater body coverage being able to cover the butt and thighs. Mens boxer shorts can have tapering ends that would

be tighter on the thighs and have looser sides to allow more movement. Men who usually prefer this type of mens underwear are those who are after comfort. Likewise, men who cannot find briefs in their size usually go for boxers since they can be tailored and altered.

Mens underwear is an important part of men’s fashion and clothing.

Although they are undergarments, the comfort and fit they give men can really matter.

The choice of underwear really depends on men’s personal preference and lifestyle. No matter what the choice is, whether it is mens boxer shorts or briefs, it all boils down to which mens underwear provides more comfort and functionality.

Geek CHIC

I like writing Geek Chic. I get to play with all the best toys the Sims Community has to offer. As a bonus unlike the guys at Wired or something all I have to do to get them for myself is download ‘em, drop a few motherlodes and add ‘em to my hoard. It’s bliss…

I don’t even have to make ‘em. Thank you Sims and Sims Community for keeping me in tech heaven. Come on… It’s hugs time at SF! Now imagine my lack of awe when I got to my office and found it looking like my Aunt Becky’s garage sale. Scratch that, Aunt Becky would have thrown most of this stuff out. And the smell! Old technology smells like a dream deferred. Ah, the aroma of Eau d’ Abandoned Innovation.

And then a funny thing happened (after I put on latex gloves to actually touch the stuff). A warm fuzzy feeling of… nostalgia came over me. OK some of this... tech was before my time but it was cutting edge once. The days when shutting your game off meant starting over. When moving your TV actually counted as a work out. Those days have a name… Retro. And Retro is… fun!

Baroque Fashion moves ever forward. We strive and strive for the newest. The most fresh. We want something original something no one has seen before and we want it now! New is a harsh task master. Original is a full time job! And now for something different. We’re drawing our inspiration here from something seen before.

Something elegant and striking‌ Baroque.

The word sounds rich. Baroque is warm and weighted in gold. It is the timeless diametric opposite of Nuevo riche. Baroque is grandeur personified. Join us as we celebrate the age.

An Opulent Feast for the Eye

The ornate feel of our Baroque looks begin with lush dramatic color. The eyes have it. But so do the cheeks and the lips. Color is your friend.

Don’t be afraid of it. Revel in it. Gold.

Turquoise. Pink and Bronze. Choose colors you can see and feel. Your Sim’s palette has just expanded and don’t you feel free darlings?

Create a Living Masterpiece Blush by Lady Frontbum Pearls by Newsea Earrings by NataliS

Go hard against any notion of minimalism and simplicity.

The drama of Baroque is its attraction and its reward. The eyes should

be boldly lined. The cheeks are a flush of romance fulfilled. And the lips whether neutral or bold should moist and lush with a soft shine.

Exquisite Luxurius Details

Each day for your Sim can be a grand exhibition. Make it a period look with rich thick chokers in pearl and gold. Layer your Sims accessories by choosing options in both the neck, eyeglass and armband categories.

Go utterly feminine with long pearls and ribbons or flowers in her hair.

Baroque lets you give into your Sims inner girl… finally.

RUTHLESS_KK

uthless_KK has been a familiar face around the official EA forums since TS2.

Her daughters are the reason she got into building - she would sit with them and build while they directed her. She finds inspiration everywhere - from online real estate sites, vacations and real life, and always keeps a camera in her car to snap anything interesting, be a house or an interesting roof.

Keeping her uploads CC free has never been easier than with the growing number of expansions and the numerous store sets available. Ruthless points out the Supernatural EP items as some of her favourite pieces, as they have lots of detail and personality to them. Her greatest tip for you when it comes to using in-game

content is this: “Create-a-style everything! It is amazing how things can take a different look just by changing the materials...a rustic wooden table will look sleek and edgy in metal...a wall pattern can look completely different if you block out just one of the color channels. CAS gives so many ways to change how things look.�

Other than her beautiful builds, Ruthless is also known for being a helpful member of the community, and has written a number of easy-to-follow tutorials. About her motivation to do so, she says

174

the following: “I know exactly what it feels like to be a beginner and to know what you want to do, but not HOW to do it. It is frustrating! That is why I make tutorials. I want to make it easier for people to enjoy building and feel happy with what they create. When I first started building, a more experienced creator took the time to give me some much needed advice. It got me going in the right direction and gave me the confidence to start trying new things myself. I want to be able to do that for someone else.”

A TIMELESS ARTISTIC VISION BRIDGING OLD AND NEW

178

B

rowsing through the expansive BauFive Studio, one can’t help but appreciate the thoughtfulness that goes into each creation—from the initial concept sketches, to the vast number of options packed into each object, to the very descriptions that show up in Buy mode. I was thrilled to discuss with Eric from BauFive the magic behind his art.

Bill: It’s clear from your work that you have an eye for art and style. Do you have a background in the arts, and are you able to translate that experience into your Sims creations?

Eric: While my college studies were inclusive of art history and technique, the majority of my jobs have done a better job of preparing me and introducing me to new ideas. I worked for many years in the picture framing industry, and that honestly exposed me to a broad range of art and ideas, not to mention meeting a number of creative people either as customers or my colleagues. It’s an interesting combination of being both a visual job, but also a hands-on one. Both kinds of jobs are often about the little details, taking pride in one’s work—being a little type A personality helps, too—not to mention a healthy dose of humility.

I actually learn something new every day—not many people can say that. I think my focus on details definitely helps with creating for the game.

Bill: What made you decide to start creating for the game?

Eric: When custom content started to show up for the Sims 3, I found there wasn’t much of a focus on the things that I was truly interested in—mainly art.

I started teaching myself to clone paintings and rugs, but at the time there were very few created for the game and so many of the meshes were cloned on single texture meshes. I spent countless hours tinkering and experimenting… it was turning into a bit of an obsession.

Bill: Where do you draw inspiration for your creations? You describe in your blog the years living in Boston as having a profound impact on you and your personal style.

Eric: I pull from my personal life for many pieces, and then I also read… a lot: blogs, trade publications, magazines while standing in line at the supermarket… but I don’t think you have to do all that. I look at a lot of this stuff for my work—I need to keep current of trends and colors. I can also be

inspired by walking through a new (to me) shop or one of my “haunts.” I used to spend a great deal of my free time, when I lived in Boston, searching for new and interesting antiques. It was like a mission. Boston, when I lived there, had a thriving music scene, amazing galleries and museums, and tons of antique shops. You could spend the day on Charles Street alone— not that I could afford to. I went to school there,

and I lived there for many years—it’s absolutely ingrained in me. Sometimes stepping away from what you know makes you appreciate it more— even if you’re not actively aware of it. I think that appreciation often infects my work.

Bill: What advice do you have for aspiring creators? Where would one start, and what tools do you use and find most helpful?

GIFT SET PLACEHOLDER

Eric: Create for your game first and foremost. I think it really shows when someone creates an item for themselves—there’s something about it that stands out. Be patient. Don’t take shortcuts.

Take pride in your work. There are many ways to get to the same point. Some are better than others and no one can tell you how YOU learn, so read many tutorials until you find one that helps you to understand. I can only speak from my own experiences when I give advice. I try to remind someone that what works for me might be completely convoluted for someone else.

Bill: What other Sims creators do you admire or consider as mentors?

Eric: That list is extensive. Back about three years ago when I made the decision to start, the people who were creating were less plentiful.

Exotic Elements, Around the Sims 3, Verona Relapse, Awesims, Land of Woe, Club Crimsyn— they all inspired me to want to create—their still creating at all is because Heidi at Exotic creations are still strongly represented in my CC Elements reached out to show me how to get to folder. I think it’s fair to say the reason I am the next stage of creating. She asked to see my last creation, and when I sent it to her, she saw some fundamental errors that she helped me to overcome. I had learned only some things from the tutorials, but she had practical knowledge about specific aspects of my own creations that revolutionized the way I think about pulling BauFive Studio together and mapping a mesh today. Heidi and http://www.b-5studio.com/ I have become good friends and have inspired each other on so many occasions.

Bill: What proportion of time would you say that you spend creating for the game versus playing

it? Have you made in-game versions of your dogs Jaxon and Laika?

Eric: I can be uneven between playing and creating— since Supernatural, I have mostly played the game— it wasn’t the supernatural elements that made the game interesting—there were a lot of new interactions that made the game fun. Laika has a Sim equivalent—annyway, whom I met through LivingSims and has since become a dear friend, was kind enough to create a surprisingly accurate version of her. I was so excited to have her in my game—I have a link in my blog. Jaxon is still waiting his turn. To date there is not a Sim me—I like to keep my game bordering on the unreal—if it was too much like my own life, I would not be inspired to play.

World Showcase Build Avalon by Bakafox

Avalon is a small fantasy map, started as a realm for the fae a little after Supernatural was announced. It is a “Builder’s World” and has only a single lot placed on it, which can be destroyed in Edit Town/Edit World mode once loaded up in game- the lot is a base camp, and is there for people who use Nraas’s “Traveler” mod for vacationing their Sims in other base worlds.

I used custom textures imported for trees, these will not spread into any of your other worldsthey’re just part of the world package file itself. The terrain paints are a mix of standard EA ones and a few custom grasses, and I used a custom moon graphic- this was done before Supernatural,

and the phasing introduced in SN will not properly work with my recolor. The skies and lighting also were altered slightly.

It is flagged as a normal “base” world, so wild animals such as deer (and horses unless turned off in options) will appear.

I tried to keep roads straight enough in many places that lots would be easy to place along them in the in-game editor, but there are the curves that will mean a few gaps. Sometimes the gaps can be hidden away by placing some trees, rocks, or bushes in the in-game editor, or if one is working on a ‘rural fae’ type world, little faerie cottages can be scattered away from the road further, with more trees added, as an idea. Because I have the textures as part of the world, any trees you place that I have recolored will be recolored, on or off lots.

World Building: I really love world building, I spend far more time doing it than playing the Sims, I usually have at least three worlds in progress at any given time, and I come up with ideas at the drop of a hat. I hope to do more of these builder’s worlds, since they let me have fun with a theme, without my having to also build hundreds of lots, and they also let me (hopefully) encourage others to build and create. Making an entire world from terrain shaping to finished lots takes hundreds of hours, and this way people have a springboard that lets them do things in a more reasonable timeframe.

Getting Started: For anyone out there who wants to give worldbuilding entirely a go, all I can say is read tutorials, find tutorial videos, and post your questions on forums for them on sites like MTS and others.

There are a lot of super helpful people out there, who’ve guided me from my first attempts to figure out what I was doing to my current projects, where I still am not perfect, but can tell I’m getting better every time.

I have released (and intend to release more) some of my CAW files for worlds I have made. They can be found at Mod the Sims and at BakaSims, along with brief instructions of where to put the files to load them up.
