The 43rd Hunger Games (A Sims 4 Fan Film)

[@michaelatkinson8184]

do you per chance have a list of all the mods you used when making this ?

[@cyraelin4950]

Honestly I have a lot of mods and I can't list all of them here because it would be a very long post, but I'll leave the ones I think are essential: - MC Command Center (probably the most useful one on this list because you can increase household size, maximum sims on a lot, change time speed, reduce need decay etc.) - Andrew Pose Player (for animations and poses) - Teleport Any Sim (very useful especially for poses and animations that include 2 or more sims) - UI Cheats Extension (you can change the time of day, season, weather, reduce or increase needs and other things just by shift+clicking on the UI) - TOOL (move sims and objects anywhere, even outside of the lot) - Extreme Violence (make sure to disable police and reactions because it will be a mess, another thing is that I'm not actually killing any sims, I just use the animations and poses and but that's just me) - No Texting and Walking & No Autonomous Phone (to disable phone idles) - Archery Mod (only for bow and arrow animations; the arrows don't actually hit sims, I animated them in the video editor to do so) Other mods which aren't necessary but I find useful are: - All Worlds are Residential (you can travel to vacation worlds without taking a vacation) - Walk in Style (you can change the sim's default walkstyle) - Storytelling Toolkit (to turn off headline effects and give your sims a certain buff because I am too lazy to type cheats all the time) - Smarter Pie Menu (you can type any command from the pie menu and it will show it to you, saves a lot of time) These are the mods I use in general, there may be others as well but I don't really use them that much so I didn't list them. (Edit: I also got early access for Create a World but that mod is still not out for public so if you want to get it when it's free you might have to wait for a while.)

this was so gooooooood, the multiple storylines, the characters development, the plot twists. i saw myself rooting for many tributes throught the story and i loved to see Jewel going from someone i didnt even see as a main character become the undeniable favorite to win; it was so unexpected to me to go from hating to loving a villain and also, it was impressive to see a showdown between carrerrists feel unpredictable. D1 took it and it felt like an underdog storyline win for all of us; AMAZING JOB

When Jewel spared Elonwen I thought, “huh. She’s actually not that bad. Most tributes, regardless of district, would kill the kids because they're easy targets.” Then she got a whole character arc and I was like “AHHHHHH!!!! TOO PRECIOUS!!!!!”

I would have liked to see Jewel in the aftermath of her success probably holding the trinket given to her by Warren and thinking about him. 😢

[@cyraelin4950]

I have a bonus scene where she talks to her mentor and briefly mentions him. That was all I could film as of now because in the meantime I started working on a new movie, but she will make some appearances there and in some scenes she wears a locket that is supposed to be his token. There will be more stuff for sure, but it was hard to fit everything in a 2 hour movie.

Unfortunately, I don't think I would do that because I'm trying to stay true to canon events as much as possible. I know some people have made fan games after the 75th in the past, but none of them have been made into fan films, and it's not something I have planned anytime in the future.

SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Normally I don’t like career victories. But this…is pure art. I love Jewel as a victor! I love the storyline, the emotional stories and interactions between her and Warren. She was bullied by her fellow careers, but showed them she could prosper. And I love how she mentions that being a career, you have to act a certain way, and that fighting and killing brings honor, even though that’s not who you are. It’s a breath of fresh air, it really is. Amazing job!

This was great. You gave these characters depth which made me forget I was watching the Sims and not a Hollywood movie. Great writing skills, Well done! 🔥🔥💖💖

[@Unstrix]

I found Geneva’s and Jewel’s storylines really interesting. I haven’t never thought that it could be possible to have deaf tributes. I can just imagine how hard it has to be and I’m glad that she had Liliana helping her. Also the careers are the characters we use to hate(I mean in the original series we had Cato, Clove, Glimmer, Enobaria, Brutus etc) but Jewel’s character has been helping me to see the careers in a new light. Even though you volunteered and wanted this you will have trauma and ptsd. Even though you have trained for this you still are a child who just wants to survive. I just think that the careers are more realistic in this film than the og series. Also how did you make the fallen thing what pops in the sky ?

[@cyraelin4950]

Technically, there are no deaf sims, but I found some custom animations for sign language. As for the fallen, I made it in the video editor. I took screenshots of each sim's portrait, cropped them to have the same aspect ratio, and then I added them in the editor with scrolling text in the background. It's a bit tedious to do it for each one of them, and that's why I suggest creating a template to save time.

[@XxCrAiGz93xX]

and BOS&S where 1's didn't make it, and 2 was publicly hung in the arena. Yet years later they're the districts to worry about?

[@ambassadorbruh1200]

@@XxCrAiGz93xXEven then, while the career districts had no training facilities and did not get special treatment-they were already favorites to win. That’s why in movie, when Sejanus gets Marcus, someone congratulated him for getting “pick of the litter.” That’s bc even back then, D1, D2 and D4 were the wealthier districts and could actually afford to feed their children. Due to that, their kids generally were bigger, stronger and more of threat than those from outlying district bc they grew up without being stunted by starvation/malnutrition. It’s not really emphasized in the movie but the book makes it known that these districts were always at somewhat of an advantage.

[@TocaAlenya]

The final fight looks similar to fencing with my classmate and me😅 (not a hate) Also the specific death order: Bloodbath (day 1) Mach [6]: While Mach was picking up the supplies, Tarquin [2] came from behind and broke his neck with a baseball bat. Barley [9] : Same with Mach but Bellona [2] spotted him and stabbed him in stomach with a sword. Newton [5]: He and Seymour [4] were fighting for a trident, but Seymour got the upper hand and cut his throat with the trident he got. Poppy [12]: She spotted her district partner Warren[12] and Butcher[10] fighting she tried to protect Warren, but Meredith[4] threw a knife at her back which killed Poppy. Nacelle[6]: While she tried to run away from the Cornucopia, she tripped and some seconds later Seymour slashed her multiple times, causing her death. Tarquin[2]: While he and Keith[7] were fighting, Keith got the upper hand and axed Tarquin in his skull which killed Tarquin instantly. Ruffle[8]: He managed to escape from the Cornucopia and he swam in the lake, but for Vetiver[1] to get a kill he shot an arrow at Ruffle which killed him instantly. Night 2 Taffeta[8]: She was searching for edible mushrooms and ate a poisonous one which killed her. Arena event (Rabbit mutts) (Day 6): Geneva[5]: Due her inability to climb up the tree she got mauled by a rabbit mutt. Liliana[11]: She thought that coast was clear from mutts, then she got mauled by a rabbit mutt. Day 7: Cider[11]: During the argument between him and Jewel[1], Vetiver shot him in his back which killed Cider. Day 8: Ashby[10]: Due the buzz with her district partner Butcher, he managed to murder her. Butcher[10]: Due to dispose of Ashby, Ada[3] had electronic supply from the Cornucopia and managed to electrocute Butcher. Day 10: Vetiver[1]: He spotted Elowen[7] in the tree and he tried to shoot an arrow straight at Elowen, but Keith threw his axe at Vetiver which killed Vetiver instantly. Grania[9]: Meredith spotted Keith kill Vetiver and decided to throw a knife at Grania for revenge. Day 12 Copper[3]: When he was with Ada[3] Meredith[4] was coming by. Copper shot her with an electric shock but Bellona[2] appeared out of nowhere and stabbed Copper in his abdomen with a sword.

[@cyraelin4950]

Oh, good catch! I must admit that I haven't thought about that initially. My main inspiration for the rabbits was Dr. Gaul's rabbit from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Another aspect was that the world I chose as my arena was Henford-on-Bagley, and this world has many rabbits. While they may seem inoffensive, there is a death by rabbits if you annoy them too much, so gotta be careful with those critters. 😅

@@cyraelin4950 Hey! So I just had a quick question. (first of all i think that is really cool) I was wondering how you got the giant arena, into one world. Did you use separate plots for different areas in the arena..? or how did you do it? just wondering cuz my arena is a rainforest so im gonna have to find a world that works for me to add stuff to make it like a rainforest.

[@cyraelin4950]

I used all the available lots from the world I picked. Now, depending on how large you want your arena to be, you can either choose one 64x64 lot or pick a world with multiple lots. Some people also used more than 1 world if necessary. It depends on what you need.

Also, I’m disappointed to see Velvetier died before their romance could be expanded furthermore. If Velvetier had survived Keith’s attack, this would have given us a new tragic storyline with either Seymour or Velvetier surviving.

[@emmalee7386]

Best movie!! Everyone was so interesting and good victor

[@Midnightsstan521]

SPOILERS This is one of the best-done Sims hunger games I’ve ever watched. I did not see the alliances and betrayals coming. Thoughts My ideal winner would have been Warren but as 12 only had Lucy Gray as a Victor by the time Haymitch won I knew that couldn’t happen. Grania was low-key iconic for calling the Careers messy bitches and I was genuinely upset when she died. District 9 characters so rarely get personalities in fics other than dying in the bloodbath. I’m so glad we got a career who wasn’t in the Games because she enjoyed killing. Also her and Warren was very unexpected but a good inclusion. We love District 12 representation!!! Butcher was such a NICE GUY 🤮 I knew he would pull some “If I can’t have you no one can” on Ashby. Also I initially missed the part where Ada found the stun gun so at first I was like “What the heck is she doing to him” Also not me being terrified that Elowen was gonna die every time she was on screen

[@cyraelin4950]

Thank you so much for the detailed comment! This was so much fun to read. If I disregarded canon, Warren would have most likely been the victor, but I thought Jewel was a good choice too because I wanted it to be someone who had a connection to the main character and I also wanted to point out that even those from privileged districts are not guaranteed to have a blissful life after victory. This will become more evident in the bonus scenes and the next movie. And yes, I hinted at Butcher's possessive nature since the interviews. I know most people expect the outliers to be the "good" guys, so I wanted to show that some outliers can do terrible things, too. As for District 9, I noticed that they're often fan favourites when they are not early deaths, and I suppose it's because it is one of the districts that is barely mentioned in canon. But rest assured that the 9s from the next movie will be interesting as well.

Cool movie, really enjoyed watching this. Also loved the romance between Warren and Jewel and seeing how different Jewel was from your typical career was cool as well. Very well made movie, nicely done.

[@cyraelin4950]

Thank you! Appreciate it. However, it's worth noting that her actions in the arena had consequences, and she received a lot of backlash from the Capitol and District 1 as well. You will see the effects in the following movies. The Capitol obviously doesn't want the districts to be too friendly towards one another because then they will unite against their common enemy, that's why the Games exist in the first place. District 1, being a Capitol supporter, would not be happy about their representative having a romance with an outlier, so they will definitely treat her poorly, too.

In the next movie, you'll see that she's treated like an outcast even by people from her own district, because I feel like District 1 would be afraid of losing their privileged status in the eyes of the Capitol to the point that they would slander their own victor. Her mentees treat her with contempt and believe she's a disgrace to District 1. She is controversial in the Capitol as well. I wasn't sure if Snow would kill her parents, but I think she would reluctantly accept being sold to the Capitol in exchange for him sparing their lives. Her victory tour wouldn't go very well either. Career districts would hate her, outliers wouldn't like her much either because she's still a career in their eyes (well except for 12 where I feel like it would be the only district where she's treated with respect or even admiration by some). So she would have to keep a low profile, cope with being put down by everyone and try to stay in her lane and not do anything controversial until the rebellion when she would eventually join the rebels.

let's assume she doesn't make it for various reasons. but if she does, she keeps her head down in the reaping and is relieved in a sense Cashmere volunteered. but she cares for her too. having been forced to mentor sometimes, and helping her through the trauma of her capitol dealings.... then when it's full blown rebellion, she helps anyway she can, protects her kids, until she's ultimately killed off, like the rest of the victors. but don't need to spoil your next film now x).

Oh, my bad. Well, it has a new cast anyway, so her role will be smaller, but my intent was to show people that, just because she's a victor now, it doesn't mean her life is rosy and everyone loves her. Far from it, actually.
