Review the highlights of Instagram and Tumblr
Yes, we are back! After two months, since the release of the third issue on 19th April, Sims Vita has returned with a new edition. Since then, the activity has not stopped both in the Sim world and the real world (nobody can escape the feared final exams). Two new stuff packs have arrived to The Sims 4: Luxury Party and Perfect Patio. It’s a known fact that stuff packs have never been very popular among players as they really don’t being much new content but even so there are still many players who remain faithful to them. They are a classic icon in The Sims saga. Even more classic are the expansion packs. After the success of Get To Work, the fans await anxiously the announcement of the second EP. All the clues pointed towards the conclusion that it would be about pets but the SimGuru’s silence about this subject has cast doubt on this theory. Are we going to have new creatures scrambling around or will they surprise us with something new? I couldn’t end this letter without mentioning what will surely be one of the greatest events of the year in the Sim community: Simmers Meetup! There’s barely one month left for the great appointment, to which I will be attending with Alfonso. We will tell you all the details about the event on the next issue of Sims Vita!

SMALL TIPS FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER BY SANDRA

Opening a photographic studio can be a good way of winning some extra money and show the rest your work. Who knows, maybe you are able to upgrade your small business into a worldwide-known studio! One of the many things that the new Sims 4 expansion pack Get To Work has brought to the game is the photograph skill. With this skill you’ll be able to let your imagination flow free and demonstrate to the world your artistic skills
If you want to take more professional pictures, in the Buying Mode there are different cameras available for purchase, each one with a different zooming range, picture quality and size.
Each photo your Sim takes with his/her mobile phone makes the skill level increase, so make the most out of it!
Once taken the picture, you can add to your memories so when your Sims looks at the picture, he/she can remember the exact moment when it was taken. Moreover, you have the option to tag the sims that appear in it.

My beloved - bedroom -
Who has never of dreamt having a master bedroom fitted with a walk-in wardrobe o a romantic terrace ideal to spend the long summer nights? I’m sure each one of you has their own priorities when it comes to designing their perfect bedroom. Here you can find an example of an elegant and feminine bedroom, full of welcoming and charming spaces... 7

MY BELOVED BEDROOM “A bed must be kingsize, comfortable..., and must be a decorative element too during the day, when it’s not used.”
8
The bed is the must-piece of furniture in the house, the only one which is indispensable, the protagonist of the bedroom. A bed must be king-size, comfortable..., and must be a decorative element too during the day, when it’s not used. That’s why I usually dress them beautiful quilts and fluffy cushions. Another essential item in a feminine bedroom, in the case we like to get dressed up, is an enormous dresser, the perfect place to get ready to go out and keep our makeup, lotions and perfumes organized. I cannot forget to mention one of the greatest elements of the room, the spacious walk-in wardrobe. How has never wanted one of these? For me, a romantic terrace would be the perfect complement for the bedroom of my dreams. I would certainly organize lots of breakfast and romantic dinners here!

“When building and decorating our bathroom we have to take into account the range of colors we choose”
10
Every master bedroom must have always its own bathroom as it will ease and make more comfortable our sims day to day life. When building and decorating our bathroom we have to take into account the range of colors we choose as it’s important it matches the dominant color used in the bedroom. In this way we give the whole place a greater sense of unity. For my ideal bathroom I’ve chosen neutral colors, white and grey purity and neutrality. I’ve added small touches of green that not only match the shades of color used in the bedroom but also give the room a touch of energy and vitality.

Playing with celebrities in the sims By MisSims4Go
Iggy Azalea One of the rising stars of these last year, Iggy Azalea has already her Sim-version. Born in Sidney, Australia but with just 16 years old she moved to the United States to accomplish her dream of being a singer. As many celebrities of the current picture, Iggy Azaleas’s wardrobe is full of original and sexy clothing items. In a world where every-
84
one is fighting to outshine the rest, the physical appearance has become very important. At the moment there are many downloads available that can be used to recreate any celebrity, both with The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. Do you dare to recreate on?
Did you know... In her song “WORK� she talks about her real story as at the age of 16 she moved to the United States alone, with virtually no money and resources. It was a risky decision to make that in the end it proved to be the right one. 85

Interview by MisSims4Go
ANGIELOVERSIMS A dear person in the Spanish Sim community and close with her followers on social networks. That’s Angie from the Youtube channel AngieLoverSims.
How did you discover The Sims? I discovered The Sims thanks to my dad who saw how enthusiastic I was about computers and started to buy me videogames. What did inspire you to join the Sim community? The fact that people also had fun playing at home like I did and then my best friend showed me the El Rubius’s Youtube channel… OMG! Until that moment I hadn’t seen it before. She then proposed the
88
idea that we created a Youtube channel too but it was not until I had more free time that I finally did it. As we all know, having a Youtube channel is very time-consuming. How do combine it with your everyday life? I try to go to bed early in order I can wake up early (around 8 a.m.) to make the videos and have the afternoon free to go out, just as if it were a job.
The expansion pack I’m awaiting the most or the one I’m really hoping they release soon is one similar to The Sims Hot Date.
Could you tell us a bit about some of your future plans you have in mind for your YT channel? Ufff I made a lot of plans for my YT channel that I am really looking forwards to but preparing them takes lots of time and at the same time I have to upload videos daily so these plans are more long than short-term. One of them is upload a weekly vlog about me, challenges and various subjects with which we can all have fun.
haven’t seen in the later games of The Sims: the chemistry between sims, the engagement rings the waiters served at restaurants for a surprise proposal, the Gypsy Matchmaker, etc.
Which expansion pack are you looking forward to the most? The expansion pack I’m awaiting the most or the one I’m really hoping they release soon is one similar to The Sims Hot Date.
In next place in the ranking we would find The Sims 3 Island Paradise. Being able to dive and all the water interactions were something new that have never been before included in the game.
Who is your favorite Youtuber? The one I like the most is elrubiusomg. He reminds me of an actor I have always admired, Jim Carrey.
What’s your favorite game from The Sims saga? It’s difficult to choose only one as I’m not the kind of person that only likes to pick one. But as I’ve been asked to do so, I would say The Sims Hot Date. It’s something we
I must also say that The Sims 2 University was too a game that had me playing lots of hours. And lastly, I also liked the games that included magic and new creatures.
How would you react if suddenly The Sims saga disappeared? At first I would freak out. I think I wouldn’t digest the news properly so I’d start searching for information everywhere. Once sure of it, I would remain silence for some seconds, then... swear jajaja. And finally get very depressed...

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.
