Sims 4: How to Create a Stop Motion Build with Moving Objects

[@paszerine]

Hello! Thanks for watching :) People call this 'animated' stop motion, though I am aware that stop motion is a form of animation 😅 Terminologies aside, I wasn't sure what you really call this type of stop motion with the extra animations. It's different from the standard 'appear-disappear' type. Let me know what you think! Also, I am Filipino living in the Philippines. I am fluent in English, but I do voiceovers less for a reason 😅 feel free to let me know if I mispronounced anything

[@auroraroseuk]

Thank you. I've learned so much from you and your voiceover is wonderful :)

[@simsinmysleep1637]

It must take SO MUCH PATIENCE to make one of these vids! It’s absolutely gorgeous - thanks for sharing! :)

[@paszerine]

It does 😅 but it's worth the effort in the end. Thank you too!

[@Metalbarbie2319]

Wow!!! I have a major respect for all of you guys that do the stop motion! You make it look so easy but I know it’s very time consuming!! Thank you for all that you do and showing us the behind the scenes!!

[@TheSarahO]

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while but never knew how!! Thanks for sharing these greats tips 😍😍😍

[@Osndbia]

Thank you for the tutorial! I was always wondering if it was actual frame by frame, as it seems WAY too much work and now I know that it is indeed very time consuming :D

[@Giuliabuilds]

Thank you for this!! I already knew how to do this but you gave me so many amazing tips to speed up the process! 🥰

[@paszerine]

Thank you so much, Giulia 😍 I am so glad this was helpful!

[@Soulsistersims]

This is the best explanation ever. Thank you so much for your time and patience and of course for this tutorial 😊

[@paszerine]

Thank you so much as well! ❤

Thank YOU 😍 The door tip did wonders for my videos!

Saved this video because for a simple mind like mine, I'll have to rewatch several times 😆 thank you for this awesome video!

[@paszerine]

Thank you too 🥰 let me know if you need any help!

I have not yet finish watching but I KNOW this helpful and it's what I'm looking for, finally!

[@paszerine]

Glad this video is helpful 😊

@@paszerine I finished watching it and realised this is too advanced, so I went to your beginners video 🤣

Hello I'm from Korea!!Korean simmer don't have this quality information. long time I try so hard stop motion tutorial!! but it was too difficult . I try to understand your explain half English hearing +translation text .I envy so much of this skill ..I'm gonna try it !!thank you so much❤❤ from south Korea!!

[@paszerine]

안녕하세요, 만나서 반가워요 🤗 I really love Korea! I am happy this was helpful somehow. 연습이 중요하다. 할 수 있어(요)!

[@건축유지보수]

@@paszerine I am touched by your act of kindness 감사합니다 ❤️

[@therealtaydev]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to try this out for a while but you’ve all gotten so advanced with the extra animations and I got a little scared haha. Your stop motion (and building designs) are perfection. Thanks again! ❤️

[@paszerine]

Thank you! And dont worry about being new, the basic stop motion with objects appearing and disappearing is still a trend. I would recommend that as a starting point if you are a beginner, and work your way up to this technique

[@LadyLuSsh]

Thank you so much hun, this was so useful, I was elevating with 9 so the t.o.o.l mod is so much better and cleaner and the door opening was something I was racking my brains about, Thanks for sharing.

[@paszerine]

Thank you too 🥰 I'm glad this was helpful

[@Ladysimwolf]

omg THANK YOU. I learned the basics of stop motion from your first video (I actually link the video on comments asking how to do stop motion video) and I have been trying to figure the door truck out for so long. You are awesome thank you so much for sharing the wisdom!!

[@paszerine]

Thank you so much! I am super happy my tutorials were helpful to you 🥰

[@DaisyDreamingSims]

The "page up" trick!! I always roll all the way out and back in, page up is so much quicker! And OMG the F5 thing! I had NO IDEA! And the door! I tried for about an hour one day to time the door just right and it wouldn't work LOL I'm just starting out with my channel, so this is all so helpful (I learned from your other how-to video also😊) You're a lifesaver - thanks so much for taking the time to make these!

[@paszerine]

Thank you and congratulations on starting out 🥰 welcome to the youtube sims commmunity! I'm very happy that my tutorial was helpful to you

[@Simmersed]

Thank you so much 💚 Love the door tip, I've been struggling with that and figured I'd forever be zooming through closed doors LOL Some great tips on speeding things up and I'm in awe at how organised you are! You'd be horrified at my mess 😂😂

[@paszerine]

Thank you too! The door thing was such a gamechanger when I learned how to do it 😍 thought it was best to just share it with everyone. And lol it gets messy for me too, I promise. I do what I can to just organize things 😅

[@zimwithzee2491]

THANKYOU SO MUCHH!! Ive been wondering how to do this so much 🥲🥲

[@amigener]

I wonder about the door for so loooong thank you so much ♥♥♥♥

[@angieblaye]

oh my gosh this was so helpful! thank you!

[@pinkashix]

My girl is just too good at this!!! 💕🐐🔥

[@paszerine]

Piiink thank you so much 🥰

[@DaisyDreamingSims]

Wasn't sure if you were aware, but I thought I would share... when TOOL is open, if you hold down CTRL, you can do things you would normally need to close tool for... like deleting objects with a hammer, moving them or selecting them in general without highlighting them in green, using the dropper tool, etc. The only trick (for me anyway) is just remembering to not use ctrl+z to undo those actions, only using the undo arrow at the top.

[@paszerine]

Ohh thanks for the tip! I tried it immediately after reading, and it worked for selecting and moving objects but not deleting them with sledgehammer (to be fair, I dont think I updated TOOL yet so it just might be that). I'll keep this trick in mind, thank you 😊

[@HeraldSims]

Another amazing and very well understood tutorial!!

[@paszerine]

Thank you so much Tonya 🥰

[@CMoDZ3D]

Damn they videos people make must take a very long time

[@emotioningames]

Thank you for this :)

[@narumatasa]

Very interesting, thank you for showing it!

[@MrACCORDION]

OMG, that's so hard🙀

[@SimAura]

This is amazing, thank you so much for this tutorial! How long does it take you to do all this for different sizes of homes (like this apartment, maybe a small two bed home with property, and then a large home with property)?

[@paszerine]

Thank you so much! It definitely takes a while for me. I can spend a whole hour doing just one room 😅 on average it takes me 2 hours to do one medium sized room

[@SimAura]

@@paszerine wow, such dedication! Truly beautiful.

[@Akeelahb]

This video is astonishing but what is the best transition for the screenshots 😅

[@paszerine]

I just use the simple fade or dissolve transition 😊 I know other creators have their preferences

[@GamesOnWheelsYT]

Thank you for this! 💜 I always wondered how to do doors opening thingie lol I'm definitely going to use it for my next video, but forst I need to finish one of my 1984728 builds 😂

[@paszerine]

Thank you 🥰 glad this was helpful! And I can relate 😅 I have so many WIPs theyre just piling up

[@charnayhurndall5073]

Hello! @paszerine. I love your sims 4 build videos, they inspire me to build in sims 4. I have a question how do you rotate the cutting block to fit against the wall? I want to build custom things not really sure how please help 😅

[@paszerine]

Hi! Thank you so much ☺️ I use the TOOL mod to rotate some objects

[@MyMy-et5xp]

Do you have a lets play with the ramen shop

[@MainSimEnergy]

Thanks for the video! ❤ How does your sims footage come out with such good quality?

[@ohleander02]

Are you also recording your screen while you take screenshots for the stop motion to work?

[@ohleander02]

Are there any tutorials you'd recommend for someone who wants to do s little stop motion but without mods?

[@ЮляШмакова-с1к]

What is the frame size? Many people recommend 00.00,15. What transition do you use (name) cross dissolve? And how long is it? I would be grateful for your answer. The video is cool and understandable 😍

[@paszerine]

Frame size? You mean the resolution? I just go for the HD 1080 × 1920. Each still image is 10 frames by default but you can adjust that under Edit > Preferences > Timeline in Premiere. I just use cross dissolve but I'm looking for better transitions, however it's the simplest one you can use and it does the job quite well :) Glad you found this video helpful! I hope I was able to answer your questions.

[@LeelaQs]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Its very informative and well done. Its really annoying sims doesnt allow us to change the hot keys for anything. It was the first thing i thought about when started taking screenshots. If only we could change the Undo command hotkeys so that its not moving the tab camera which forses us to reenter the TAB scene every time for each screenshot. As Z used for undo AND move the TAB camera. Could have saved us so much trouble. Its amazing i couldnt even find a mod that could change it. If anyone knows something like that please let me know.

[@paszerine]

Glad this was helpful! Thanks for the feedback 😊 So true! The fact that we cant change the hotkeys is frustrating. Things wouldve been a lot easier if we could I sadly dont know any mods that can help us change the hotkeys, but I can try looking for one. My fear is that we would have to change the hotkeys each time there is a patch or update because it's just a mod

[@aqua7alien]

Both your stop motion tutorials have been so helpful. I do have a question if anyone can offer some insight... I've recorded gameplay scenes in regular speed with no issues but when I tried recording in 2x speed, it doesn't look smooth when I go to edit it (DaVinci Resolve). Anyone have ideas on if this is something that can be fixed through game settings/OBS settings/or editing software options?

[@leojames7331]

Thanks for this, it's really helpful. The only thing I really don't understand is the scene thing. Why start with scene 5? Then you go 5, 9, 8, 7. I don't get it. Why don't you just start with 1, or 9 if you're going backwards, and why does it even matter? Thanks :)

[@paszerine]

Glad this was helpful! The thing is, you cant set your keyboard shortcuts in the Sims 4. Numbers 1-4 are other shortcuts in the game (1-3 is speeding up live mode. I wasnt sure what 4 did, however). Hence, you can only set your scenes at numbers 5-9 by default.

[@leojames7331]

@@paszerine Thank you for responding. I get that part now, what I don't understand at all is why you have to do "scenes" to begin with. You're enumerating scenes, but why? And if you only have 4 to work with then what happens when you need to do 6 scenes? Thanks

[@paszerine]

@@leojames7331 i switch beack and forth between them when I record. It's a continuous process. You dont need to record 5 scenes you can just do 3 if that's what you prefer. I just want to maximize what I have, since we do only get 5 slots. When I need my 6th scene I just change the oldest scene into a new recording, provided that I dont need it anymore.

[@leojames7331]

@@paszerine Ok, I'm getting there, thanks for being patient and responding, you said something that points directly to my lack of undersratninf here. You said there are designated slots. Why and how? That's the crux of my lack of understanding. Why do you need slots? Why not just start your capture software and snap away? Thanks again, sorry it's taken me a while to grasp it :)

[@alxdockter2768]

When you set a scene using ctrl-5, is that a function from one of the mods you mentioned? Or is that a base game feature?

[@paszerine]

Hi! That is a basegame feature

[@ashleyantunes8966]

Does anyone know how they got the brown wall thing behind the headboard? And the wood covering the face of the kitchen islands?

[@paszerine]

Hi! The headboad is from the Cool Kitchen stuff pacl and the face of the islands are Gallery art paintings flipped using the TOOL mod

[@steffo9772]

Are there people out there that I can pay to do this? 😅

Ur houses are very buggy :-( I have a fast computer, but the game keeps hanging. Please build with less detail to make your lots playable.

[@paszerine]

Hello. This apartment has very few details. If youre still having trouble, try repairing your game through Origin

[@Pastell.maedchen]

@@paszerine There are no problems with Origin. Unfortunately it is your house and it affects 'Luxury Modern Family Mansion'.

[@paszerine]

@@Pastell.maedchen I am so sorry, but I am not responsible for the glitches and bugs you are experiencing. The game has been having many issues recently because of the updates and patches (ironically). Thank you for letting me know however. I had a similar experience of my game crashing after placing other builds in different lots. Some of them are not as detailed either.
