Long live the alternative themes! I must admit that the first time they proposed this theme for the magazine I was a bit surprised. Disney and fairy-tales characters? How are we going to manage to retain its freshness without falling into childishness? We wanted to search for a theme that was a bit more innovative. We were tired of the typical themes: Christmas, San Valentines, Spring... It was always the same thing. After many turns and rejecting many wacky ideas, we came up to this conclusion: Disney and fairy-tales characters. At first it may seem not a very appropriate theme for a Sims magazine, but we started to come up with some cool ideas about possible contents that we could include and surprisingly enough there were quite a few! So the next step was to say - and why not do it? This reflects a bit the mentality that defines us. Innovate, think differently and make the people enjoy what we do. Little by little Sims Vita’s community is growing and there is an increasing number of people wanting to collaborate and do their bit. Once more, I only have words of thanks. I know that some of you will think that I repeat myself in every editor’s letter, and it’s true, but I say it for a reason. I never stop being surprised by the support we are receiving. Many thanks to all of you and let’s make Sims Vita grow much more! Luciap25, Editor in chief of Sims Vita

The Alien Call By TheSwaaggerSIMS
4
The first expansion pack of The Sims 4 has finally been release and with it new, strange creatures from the outer space have arrived to The Sims 4 world... Aliens! Are you hoping to find one? Well, it’s not going to be an easy task as these creatures have the power of being able to camouflage perfectly among the human-Sims population and adopt the their appearance. Even so, you can always create one yourself from Create A Sim but if you are willing to look for one, you will have to first have to let him trust you before revealing his real identity. However it is possible to find aliens walk around without any type of camouflage. In this case you will easily recognize them as they have a peculiar anatomy but mostly because they will wear a futuristic suit with green lights. There exists aliens of all ages, from babies to elders and they function in the same ways as any other Sim, with the same needs, traits, wishes, ways of walking... They can also have offspring too! Regarding this last aspect, there is a curious fact about it that takes us back to the paranormal phenomena from The Sims 2: your Sim can be abducted by a UFO and return pregnant...even if he’s a man! If this happens to you, your Sim will return pregnant and after several days, he will have to go to the hospital to give birth to his small and strange baby-creature. Afterwards he will be able to even breast feed it!
Both if these creatures are home-sick or you are curious and you will like to visit it, there are several ways you can travel to their planet: Sixam (Maxis in reverse order). One option is to use the alien interaction to go back to their home world. Another option is to get a mad scientist to build a electro worm-holes generators and go through it. Finally, if you prefer travellling on a rocket, you can improve your Rocket Science skill to level 10 and in the rocket make the upgrade “worm-hole” and travel using this option. However you go, remember that once you are in Sixam, you won’t be able to use your Sim’s mobile phone as there is no cellular coverage! In Sixam you will be able to explore a completely different and mystic world made up by lights of different colors, gigant fungi and an extravagant atmosphere. You will also have the possibility to meet other aliens and pick up unique minerals and rocks. So now you know: if you want to play with different creatures, live new experiences and explore new dimensions...The Sims 4 Get to Work aliens are waiting you!
Minerals from another planet
Alien baby... So cute!
If you want to know more about the aliens, you can watch my video “The Alien Call” (in Spanish) in my Youtube Channel, where you will be able to see everything you’ve read with your own eyes.

INTERVIEW TO PILAR featured artist - the sims resource
What do you normally do for a living? I simply take care of my family and when I have some free time I create things for The Sims.
to my taste. I learned then how to recolor objects with a tutorial from that same forum. From this point onwards there is just one step if you have appetite of creating.
What inspired you to create custom content? With The Sims 2, thanks to a girl named Merche I discovered Simbrella’s forum. They hosted decoration contests; there was a good atmosphere and all kinds of meshes available for those who were registered. When decorating the houses that I was going to submit to the contests, I missed having elements
Have you done something like this before? No, I’ve never done something similar to this. I knew nothing about 3D-modelling programs.

Have you thought of making a website of your own to upload all your content? Well, in fact I have already done this before working with TSR. When
BY YLENIASIMS
The Sims 2 was around, I bought the domain simcontrol and Pau (a friend and The Sims fan) built the website. There you could find all my creations, but there was a moment when I could no longer bear with all the work the forum required, the meshes and the real life problems. That’s why I decided to close the forum and transfer the domain and my creations to my blog “Cosas de Pilar” (Pilar’s things) which is now Simcontrol. Has somebody taught you how to make Custom Content? Regarding my creations, my teach-
ers have been tutorials. Little by little things started to work though with occasional temper tantrums and kicking of legs - I have broken some keyboards already jajajajaja.
Making creations has its difficulty. I admire the people who create meshes so quickly - I take ages to get complete the whole process of doing one.
What do you enjoy the most of The Sims saga? I have been playing since the start: with The Sims I laughed a lot, the game I most enjoyed... Then The Sims 2... From The Sims 3 I loved World Adventures and Island Paradise but the game had lots of problems that were not solved and The Sims 4..., it’s still early but for now I’m a bit deceived.
What would you say to those people who are thinking of starting making Custom Content? To those people who want to start creating I would recommend them to start doing recolorings of other creators’ or of the game’s stuff in order to get handle of the different programs and with the meshes. Also it’s important to read/watch tutorials and above all patience and enjoy creating new content.
When you make custom content, is it difficult to create objects/ accessories/clothes etc...?
What is the process that takes more work when creating CC? The hardest part for me is...every-
thing. I spend lots of time searching for pictures and textures, and after I have to decide what to do....Once I’ve made my choice I can’t stop - I even forget about the time! What tips would you give us to make an object? The most important thing for me is enjoying creating it and of course have some free time. Where can we find you content? My creations can be found in TSR and Simcontrol. I’m the first one to use my creations and I love to see other people con use and enjoy them too.

ELMS´S PARK BY WERNIK
18
Located at the upper left part of the Goth’s house, Elm’s park is the ideal place for our Sims to spend the afternoon. 19
MAP
It’s divided in 4 sections, each one designed for a specific age group.
20
PIRATE CAVE
21
22
The first one we can find just as we enter the park: the Pirate Cave. Our younger sims will be able to play and have fun here, whether it’s on the pirate boat or playing hide-and-seek. It has two fountains, lots of benches to relax and trees that provide shade. It also has an entrance to rhe Central Square.
23
FOUNTAIN SQUARE
FOUNTAIN SQUARE Following the path to the right, we will end up in the Fountain Square where our most romantic sims will find themselves in a loving and charming atmosphere. It has a small fountain in the middle of the square where you’ll be able to make a wish. 24
25
THE POND
26
To its left we find the Pond. It has many exotic plants and an amazing water jet that will certainly surprise our sims. It also has several chess tables in case our Sims want to play some games. 27
ELM SQUARE At the centre of the part we find the Elm Square, where a majestic tree culminates it. Found underground, this square is the ideal place to chill out and hang out. It has a small canopy that provides some shade. Here you will also find the toilets.
28
I still have to unveil the most important detail: this park has a small challenge. Inside it there are hidden 4 gnomes (businessman, alien. ghost and high-rider) and a Freezer Bunny. If you find them, you can send pictures of the gnomes both to Sims Vita’s Twitter (@SimsVita) and to mine (@WernikSims). Write a tweet with the picture and mention us! Are you ready to complete the challenge?

Custom Content Tips By MisSims4Go
Pocahontas As you can see Pocahontas has adapted to the modern times in different ways, depending on the country she has visited. If the weather is cloudy, cover your sim up with a denim jacket as they are now quite fashionable. If you sims find itself in spring and in a crowded city, let them show of his/her curves!
72
I bring you two “it looks” perfect for conquering the city: pick a dress for you sim or choose this year’s look: shorts and a tank top. Simple and suitable. If your sim’s eyes don’t attract much attention don’t worry - download some colored lenses. You will definitely see the change!
多Did you know... For the design of this character, Disney animators inspired in the actress Irene Bedard?

DAN WILLIS BEYONDSIMS BY ALFONSO
Dan Willis is the webmaster of the popular english website BeyondSims and one of the creators of the Simmers Meetup, an event that achieved to gather many fans from all over the world in 2014. In this interview we ask him about the event they are preparing for this summer and we get to know a bit better one of the most known Simmers in the community.
Hello Dan! How and when did you discover The Sims community and decided to take part in it? Hello! Thanks for having me for this interview. I have been playing The Sims games since around 2001 but I first stumbled upon the community in 2004/2005 when I signed up for TheSims2.com. From
74
there I used to lurk about and read things. However, I didn’t become an active community member until 2011 when I joined SimPrograms. From the four games of The Sims saga (TS1- TS4), which one is your favorite and why? I absolutely love The Sims 4 and think it’s much better than The Sims 3, but I think The Sims 2 is my favourite Sims saga because of the memories I have of playing the game, the amount of time I invested into it and of course its expansion packs… I love Open for Business! But I do think that once The Sims 4 has finished development and we have all expansion packs that could become my favourite. Beyond Sims was before known as SimPrograms (founded by Jud
Hudson), where you started as a content writer in 2011. A year later, TheBlackScorpion stepped down and you became its owner. What can you remember from that moment? Well, it was my birthday! I remember that! My memory is pretty hazy and I don’t remember much else apart from that and the fact that I was excited to be able to continue running the site and take it in my own direction. I am very grateful as running BeyondSims has allowed me to meet so many people, express my passion for The Sims/Maxis games and attend events to find out information about upcoming games for Simmers! We can imagine running a site like Beyond Sims requires lots of work and it’s time-consuming. How do
The Sims 2 is my favourtie Sims saga because of the memories I have of playing the game, the amount of time I invested into it and of course its expansions packs…” you balance the work as a student with keeping the site updated? It can be difficult to focus on the website when you have university work. I always try to keep news up to date, create content (such as tutorials or YouTube videos), and post reviews/previews when I have the time. But I have always stuck with work coming first and if I have university work or exams then
I will focus on them, and people are very understanding about this. But my site is a hobby so I always find time in the end – nothing will get between me and The Sims!
definitely plan to create more video content for the website, especially now that Get to Work has arrived. There are a few other things that I am thinking of, but they’re a secret for now ;)
What are your future plans for BeyondSims? Do you have in mind new projects involving the site? I have been creating a lot more content on YouTube recently, so I

Let’s talk about the Simmers Meetup, an event that last year united many Simmers from all over the world. How did you come up with this great idea and can you share with us your best memories from that day? Myself, Maaike, Rachael and a few others were going to meet in London for the day. Then it turned into us hosting a ‘Sims Meet & Greet’, which we eventually turned into ‘Simmers Meetup’. We invited the community to join us in Hyde Park and we were overwhelmed by the amount of people who shown up! It was fantastic to see so many people. My favourite thing was being able to meet people
76
that you speak to on Twitter and put a face to their name, and talk about The Sims all day! The date for the Simmers Meetup 2015 has already been announced: 1st August. Could you tell us a bit of information about this year’s event? Sure! The Simmers Meetup 2015 is bigger and better than ever before. New for 2015, we have a cozy venue, refreshments, EA pods to play The Sims 4 and many more surprises. We conducted a survey after the 2014 event to find out what people liked and what we could improve, so we are really focusing on what attendees want to see at the event this year.
A lot of work went into selecting 1st August as the date for the Meetup, and we think we made the right choice as many couldn’t attend in May 2014 due to exams. We’re really excited and think everyone will have a blast. What will be the next step after this Simmers Meetup? Meaning, are you planning or thinking about any future events? Maybe in other places apart from London? As Rachybop mentioned in the Simmers Meetup 2015 announcement video, we are going to see how every event goes. We want to do future events and who knows,
Simmers Meetup 2014 en Hyde Park, Londres
maybe one day we’ll be able to take it somewhere else in the world? That’s our ultimate goal – to continue growing Simmers Meetup. Thank you for responding to the questions and we hope the event is a success and everything goes as planned. To conclude the interview, would you like to send a message to the Simmers that are reading this interview and maybe planning to attend this year’s Simmers Meetup? Thank you for sending me the questions and for your support for the Simmers Meetup.
To all Simmers that are reading this interview, I just want to say thank you for being a part of such an exciting and unique community – it’s so much fun to interact with everyone online! And to those planning to attend this year’s Simmers Meetup, I highly recommend following @SimmersMeetup on Twitter and signing up to our mailing list at www.simmersmeetup. com for all of the latest news J

“Sul Sul from Estonia! I started playing The Sims in 2001 and since then I have played 2,3 and now 4. I loved playing The Sims when I was a child and now that I’m an adult I love it even more. I’ve always enjoyed creating sims more than actually playing with them. There are just so many awesome custom content creators out there who make wonderful CC... I go “shopping” for new CC everyday so I can do new photo shoots to my sim models. As long as there is CC, this is probably what I will always do in The Sims. I just love using all of the CC I can to make beautiful sims. The game is not very popular in Estonia so I am so happy to share my love for The Sims with people all over the world trough Internet..”

“My craziness for The Sims started with The Sims 3. I knew the existence of the saga but it didn’t really draw my attention until one summer night in 2012 when I watched the tutorials EA made about The Sims 3 - it was love at first sight! From that moment, I started to spend hours and hours building and creating sims and seeing how they lived their lives. What I must enjoy doing is building houses, decorate them and see how my sims live their crazy lives. But even so, I spend most of my time in the building mode. I want to highlight I was not really a CC-fan until The Sims 4 arrived. When I was accepted to contribute for this magazine, I was super excited and very happy as this meant other people like my building too. Another thing I have found thanks to The Sims is its community. It’s really great and I love it - it’s not easy to find one like The Sims’s one. That’s why I am really fond of this game. ”

TheSwaggerSIMS Barcelona, spain YOUTUBE · TWITTER · GOOGLe+ “I still remember those times when I went to my cousins’ house wishing to play to The Sims Makin’ Magic. I liked the game so much... It was not until The Sims 2 was released that I finally owned my first game of The Sims saga. I must admit that this type of games didn’t really catch my attention but this game was different: I could create my dreams house, fascinating stories and meet incredible Simmers. Just a few months ago I finally decided to open a Youtube channel: TheSwaaggerSIMS. I have been watching for a time now videos from the great Missgerbit and I already had some experience in Youtbue uploading my songs to other channels that I had before. I felt it was time to share everything I had learned in this last 10 years and what I still had to experiment. The opportunity to contribute in Sims Vita is something great! I really appreciate it as it’s an opportunity to keep growing as a Simmer and contribute a bit more in this great community.”

YleniaSims Barcelona, spain YOUTUBE · TWITTER “What I feel for The Sims is passion, as I expressed in the 15th anniversary. I play The Sims since I was a small kid. The Sims 1 has been the game that has struck me the most as it enabled me to go on holidays, play with magic, have pets... I didn’t imagine that a simulation game could be so creative and beautiful at the same time. I have also played lots to The Sims 2, but the game that really made an impact on me, even more the then The Sims 1, were The Sims 3. I was struck b y the fact that you could go to university, there were seasons... Moreover, with this expansion pack you could celebrate festivities such as Halloween or Christmas among others. Really I have always loved The Sims for being my childhood’s game and the best simulation game available. What you can create with The Sims 4 is just amazing - you can model your creations whoever you wish. Plus is if you add the custom content, they become more realistic. Thanks to this community I have met many people. It’s a familiar community that creates many friendships. All that remains for me to say is: I’m too a Simmer.”

SIMSTAGRAMS Although the presence of The Sims on Instagram is less than on other social networks, little by little the “simstagrams” are becoming each time more popular and there is a growing number of fans which decide to create here their own page.

READERS’ LETTERS I love Sims Vita’s magazine because y gives us lots of fun and interesting information. These are some of my favorite screenshots from The Sims 4: a marriage proposal, and the other one is a couple, with the woman pregnant, that seem to be playing Rock Paper Scissors. Diego Santamaría.
SV: Hello Diego! Thank you very much for sending your reader’s letter. We are glad to hear you enjoy reading the magazine we do with lots of care for you all. Regarding your photos, we love them! It’s true those sims seem to be playing the rock-paper-scissors game. Let’s see who guess correctly the newborn’s gender. We hope to hear how everything went. Kisses!
Hello! I’m RamiSim65 and I love your magazine. It has everything I like and much more. I want to congratulate Sims Vita’s staff members as they do an exceptional job. The sections I like the most are the lookbooks. I love them and your taste for fashion is really good!!!! Again I want to congratulate you all before ending the letter. Bye!!!!!!!! :) SV: Hello Rami! It’s been nice to read from you. We are very happy to know you love so much the magazine. You are totally right - the Simmers that make the fashion sections do an IN-CRE-DI-BLE job. They include the custom content that other people create in a very appropriate way in the lookbooks, giving as a result photos that are worth seeing. We you contact us regularly so you can show us some screenshots of your sims’ clothes and different styles. Kind regards!

Hello! My name is Kirana. English and especially Spanish is not my primary language so don’t judge my verybad-grammar so bad, okay? :P I’m from Indonesia -- I know it’s not a so-popular-country -- but the most important is Sims Vita fans are from around the world, even from Southeast Asia. I fell in love with your first issue and now you’re one of my favorite Sims magazines! A feature that I love the most from Sims Vita is Social Media. I also love the layout design of the magazine. It’s so modern and simple! Certainly, nothing’s perfect in this world. I noticed that you often feature popular Simblr, such as Puresims and Laude Studio. Maybe it’s better that you advertise not-so-popular-but-still-great Simblrs so reader will get a new information and it benefits for the Simblr owner too. You can discover small Simblrs in Small Simblr Workshop. My personal favorites are Puccamichi, Bear’s Rocking, Usagi Sims and MoraThami. I think that’s all from me. Have a nice day! Kirana Hello Kirana! It’s a pleasure to meet you and we thank you for contacting us. We value a lot the people who give us their opinion so we can improve little by little. We have taken a look at the Simblrs you suggested us and they are amazing! We have included some of them in this issue’s Social Media section. Regarding the language of the page, we are trying to translate all the contents as soon as possible so everybody can participate and collaborate. Each day we are more and more surprised to see that people from all around the world read our magazine. We hope to receive another letter from you in the future - thank you for writing to us. Take care!
