Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you for your amazing work! (except the nerd who voiced Carina)
You all brought my characters to life better than I could've ever imagined! Your performances were what kept me going and motivated throughout it all and I truly can't thank you enough! I hope you had fun being part of this!

Director's notes (you can skip this, we all know I'm scatterbrained lmao):
HAAAAA HI HELLO FIRST VOICE OVER SHOW LET'S GO! I lived to see the day!
*ahem* I have a lot and I mean A LOT of thoughts regarding the whole making of this episode, but there's a character limitation sooo...let's summarize:
It was the most challenging and stress inducing video for me thus far in my whole "sims career" for lack of better words sksks the whole Strangers fiasco that made me rage quit for 5 years was NOTHING compared to this yet I am somehow here sdkjhksdg very sleep-deprived, but here (on theme at least). I can go on and on about what made me miserable and what left me dissatisfied with my editing & filming, but I want to focus on the positives. This is sims after all and I did this to myself, there are far worse things in life than oh nooo I can't use this song or oh noo my character looks too derpy in this frame, I didn't speed the clips enough, etc, etc. All internal nonsense that doesn't matter in the long run to me personally. I am not a perfectionist like a lot of artists, I am simply insecure lmao so I would like to say fck that noise in my brain and state that I am overall very pleased with how the episode turned out! I like the vibes, it's chill, soft, weird and stupid like me skjdfhskj I really feel like I poured a lot of my heart into this project and I only planted the seeds with part 1! The real tea begins in part 2 hehe

Speaking of tea, here are some QUESTIONS for yall:
1- Fave character so far? Ooor least fave perhaps?
2 - How would you react if you magically become able to enter people's minds while they are asleep?
3 - Any theories? Like what is going on with Fanna and her obvious dislike towards Ferrica? Or why Kenneth and Carina broke up? OR WHO THREW THE WATERMELON IN THE JACUZZI? Yes, only the important stuff.
4 - Is there any type of vacation activity you would like to see the main characters partake in?

5 - Did I overdo it with the butterfly images/cc? Don't answer this, the answer is yes lol

Last but not least, a huge thank you to my friend, Max aka Venpai. He was my rock throughout making this. He designed the logo, made the thumbnail, helped me keep my sanity dskjfhkdsg and he didn't have to do any of that, he was just there and went let's get this doneee like king just let me flop it's what i deserve jksdhgdfhfkg but fr, I love you!!

That's all folks, if you read all my word vomit I sincerely apologize for the cringe, me and the internet are a bad combo ok dskghsd
As always, I'm open to ANY questions +criticism and I hope you are all doing well and living happy!
Until next time!! xoxo
