Okay, SO.
Probably weird to see this on my channel xD
I've always been SUPER curious and have wanted to try making at least one machinima in the Sims 3, and I just decided to make one today.

What I've found:
- After getting used to it, the Sims 3 is pretty fun. If you can make your sims pretty and your sets pretty, everything is basically fine.

- Way *easier* than Sims 2 at finding poses (they're all in the same place); way *harder* than Sims 2 at finding animations (then again I'm not accustomed to the Sims 3 so that's a learning process I'm too lazy to figure out).

- I don't really know how to work NRAAS animator whoops

- Your interactions in Sims 3 have consequences because I had to make these two sims break up and make up like 4 times and it took like a fucking hour even when I cheated and boosted their relationships again omg

- COLORING IN SONY VEGAS LOOKS WAY FUCKING BETTER WITH SIMS 3 FOR SOME REASON AND I'M JEALOUS BECAUSE I WANT THAT FOR SIMS 2

BUT YEAH! This was super fun to make, and it was definitely different.

This machinima was inspired by ApocalypticDogFilms and her video 'Is There Somewhere?'; SimmingLikeAVillain, because her series made me hyped to make a video in the Sims 3; and obvs JuliLux3, my biggest editing inspiration.

Thank you to Aquarhiene and Pralinesims for their gorgeous lots, which can be found below:

Thanks as well to the animators whose poses I used in this video! With Sims 2 it's rather odd to credit every single creator, so honestly I'm not sure who all the creators are for these Sims 3 poses (as I didn't keep track). If you see one of your poses, I'll happily add your name to the list!

The plot is basically about a couple, and though they were both in love with each other, Girl 1 didn't want to commit and get engaged. Because of the rejection, Girl 2 left forever, and Girl 1 regrets ever saying no.
