16:00 Since you’re embracing a more minimal style, would love to see more base game CAS style videos. It'd be so fun to see you give makeovers to the Sims made by the community, or your own base game Sims with the new CC. Using polls for general engagement would also be awesome. 💐 I also wonder if you'll be doing any more CAS/CC mods showcases? If you are moving away from them, it would be cool seeing videos with an emphasis on a pack/kit you already have, either in CAS or in gameplay. Would also love to see some Sims 3 content, but don’t want it turning into work and remove an outlet for you. I actually really enjoyed hearing your general commentary with the gameplay as a background.🌷

I'm planning for the next video I post to be a no-cc and base game CAS! I think it will be great practice for creating sims with minimal and no cc. I love the idea of giving makeovers to your sims! I did this years ago and really enjoyed it. I feel like it would be fun to stream it on Twitch if I have the time. I haven't made a poll on the community tab for a while; I'll definitely start making them again. I will probably still create CAS and mods showcases! Just not to the extent as before. I love sharing cc with you guys, and showcases are the best way to do that, so I don't want to stop making them entirely. I'd like to do a current household video for ts3 - I hope to post that next month. Thank you for the comment; I really appreciate it!

I feel like it would be fun to do cc shopping for toddlers and infants when our new legacy heir is pregnant, so it feels like we are preparing and shopping for the baby. I've never heard of that scarf before! I can imagine if it was very popular, the cc scarf was based on it. Ah, I know right! It's perfect because it has different options for each season. Although, there isn't a winter one - It would be awesome if Cloudcat created one for winter. Thank you for watching!

When I first started using CC 9 years ago I had around 30GB between cas and bb stuff. I used to play on my mum's work pc and I still don't know how that potato pc could handle that. Now I have my own pc and it's pretty good but I keep my mods folder below 4GB max. I don't use bb cc anymore and I found myself using more and more in-game clothes, and I really like it. At least once a month I clean my mods folder using the mods manager app to delete stuff I don't really use. I still have an addiction to hair though. I have around 300 hair only for females 😂 also I use lots of mods to enhance my gameplay than I used to, most of them by adeepindigo, RPO, MCCC and ui cheats and littlemisssam for bug fixes.
@Plumbie4 ай бұрын
I was the same when I began using cc! It's just so tempting to download every single piece haha. Having a mods folder under 4GB is such a good idea. I'm the same with the hairstyles; the issue is that a hairstyle can completely change a sim, and I usually use one hair only for a single sim because it becomes special to them. For this reason, I end up downloading a ton of hair so that my sims can have a ton of options to pick from. Littlemisssam is a saviour when it comes to bug fixes!

@mynameisnoneurconcern86394 ай бұрын

@Plumbie4 ай бұрын
If you can, I recommend going into full storyteller mode. Sadly, the base game doesn't have much to it, so you have to rely on your imagination to create interesting gameplay, scenarios, etc. I'd recommend creating a sim, imaging/writing a story for them, and then playing it out. For example, you could create a runaway teen and their fresh start in Oasis Springs. If you can, I'd recommend downloading a couple gameplay mods, as they add so much to the game at no cost. CC is great as well because you can get more options when it comes to creating your sims; that way, you feel more connected to them. I have a couple of videos on how to make ts4 fun without mods, along with gameplay tips. There are some tips in them which won't work with the base game, but most of them are base game friendly or can be adapted to the base game: kzbin.info/aero/PLroMUE2eLfm-G6v46-ugfsa6ymguZufP5&si=MLjbtVlfL33aFKCg I also have videos sharing mods and cc if you'd be interested in those: kzbin.info/aero/PLroMUE2eLfm_ZDcC1VSRgre-4u_Ly_kAz&si=eWyYaFdistIVytFx I hope you enjoy your journey with ts4; it can be a pain at times, but overall I do really love the game so I hope you'll love it as much as I do. Happy simming, and welcome to the community!
