Modeling Individual Personalities in The Sims 3

[@2Cerealbox]

I love the Sims talks, they're like a programmer's dream. All these abstract data structures and simulation stuff. Edit: 18:30 explains why they make sitting in chairs infuriating. When I was playing that game I had to make sure there weren't any chairs even remotely close and they still occasionally walked to the other side of the house on a different story to eat.

The information in the presentation seems invaluable, but the overall quality makes it very difficult to digest. Between low resolution and disjointed delivery, it seems like it requires a significant deciphering effort to figure out what's actually being said.

Wow, 2010 was quite a long time ago! In retrospect... Having all that black framing around the already very small low-res slides wasn't such a good idea was it? :D

4:52 - 4:59 BUG REPORT: Simulation creates completely absurd and unrealistic family dynamics. Please fix immediately.

Hoping to see a self learning AI in Sims 5..

In this talk, the video works, but the audio is super awkward. Speech is so loud that it's distorted and triggers the auto gain, but we can hear every breath and every lip smack of the speaker. Please use a compander, at least in post production.

This guy should really work on his presenting skills.
