- hellooo i am EXHAUSTED it is 3am and i just got done recording and editing this so it could go out later today!! wee. anyways i had way too much fun making the bands stuff and these sims too!! even the thumbnail on this one was so fun.... sim gurus if you see this.... we are begging and pleading for bands we are BEGGING you!!!
anyways the playlist i keep mentioning of all my save file videos: • all of save file videos
if youre sick of save file stuff heres some gameplay to binge :): • the watson legacy (ts4)
also happy mother’s day! and special shout-out if you’ve lost a mom, never had a mom, or lost a child. i see you guys and i hope you have a good day today.
💜💜💜
ok im like 75% sure we're gonna get a band/music DLC this year
i’m thinking so too! like what else is there really left to add?
I don’t know if this was intentional at all but the lights in the basement being sort of magenta and matching the band name is such a cool touch
yes it was!! :) ty
I love the Fleetwood Mac kind of situation
me too, i love the drama
omg imagine if the secret lot was like laurie and harlow's "spot" when they were together where they'd hang out and stuff, and maybe even the place where they had their first kiss cause i know you didn't want it to be at his house
i LOVE this idea BUT i have a romeo and juliet story in mind for this save and i think i’m going to save this idea for those two sims :) because they have to meet in secret… ahhh thank you
@@silleepigeon oooo i love that! u should totally make a balcony or something to reference romeo and juliet haha
Love these rambling video's, I really don't mind if you talk longer or shorter or whatever, you have no pressure from me because I love just hearing the 'yapping' about your sims 4 lore, it's so fun, and I'm so happy that we got to see how Harlow and Bertie look!!!
omg thank you :,) glad to hear you are enjoying!
and yes they might change a little bit but mostly this is how they look for sure :)
both my brother and step father have been in local bands and you're on the right track with it! my brothers band had an "ep" more or less of songs they'd performed at local venues and my step father plays covers at bars and parties! (so i'd definitely say add a bar lot type for them for players to perform at) it could even be a dingy bar only elderly people frequent but it's the only gig the band get find. just some ideas cause this save is so creative!
ahh good to know i was right!
i will def include a bar, in my brain the karaoke bar would also be a venue and not just… only a karaoke place every night. like they might hold shows sometimes too.
thank you!!!!
dude we appreciate you being candid about how you feel with the expectations, know that whatever you put out we'll probably find it really comfy & fun !
well i appreciate you listening and watching!!
i’ve always wanted to make my own in depth save file and yours is really inspiring 😭 you don’t have to restrict yourself from custom content, just have fun with it! ❤
thank you :,) honestly i think i needed permission to do that. i feel reeeeally held back from making sims i like going so vanilla but just feel like i SHOULD since i know if i release this save people will ask for a non-cc version.
i’m so glad it’s inspiring!! seriously it’s so fun i highly recommend it
for the music production thingy there’s a piece of cc by ravasheen i think that looks like a stream deck and to you produce on normal computers/desk
ooo thank you! i will download that
I actually started taking notes of lore suggestions for these three while i was building an experiment/practice build lol. I guess i really love your save file and characters! Anyways here's the ideas i had:
1. Harlow having a gf that she's in an open relationship with, but she hasn't told Laurie or Bertie (maybe just Laurie tho and Bertie knows and isn't telling Laurie). Especially adds some drama if you do follow through with having Harlow and Laurie being friends with benefits.
2. Harlo being the daughter (maybe step-daughter or foster/adopted daughter) of one of the rich families in Willow Creek, but maybe she doesn't have the greatest relationship with them which is why she's in a punk band.
3. Instead of Harlow being the daughter of one of the rich families, maybe she's an orphan that was taken care by Bertie's and Laurie's families? Or maybe she had a small family and most of them were old and have since past so now her few remaining family members are all scattered in different worlds?
4. Bertie having a secret crush on Laurie since childhood, but having never said anything about it because he knows Laurie is straight and still has feelings for Harlow. OR instead of that Bertie being aroace.
These are the main/big ones i had! I'm really inspired to make a save file, but i think i'll wait til i get a pc setup cause my little old laptop can't handle that rn lmao
Also, i love how you make your videos and just yap. I hope you don't ever change it for the sake of us cause i think its much more important to build a community that watches your videos for you rather than building a huge following by doing mainstream "normal" things:)
i absolutely adore this comment so much!!!! thank you for leaving such a thorough reply with so many ideas!!!
i love the concept of her having a gf that laurie doesn’t know about.. absolutely going to do that. i think i like the idea of Bertie knowing and just not saying anything. i’m unsure how i’ll set up that piece of lore in the game- i think there’s a way for it to show in the relationship panel but outside that i wonder if there’s other hints i could leave.
i like the idea of harlow being a step daughter of a richer family! i think i’ll have her be a step daughter of the oldest rich family in the town. but maybe she still lives on her own/seperate from the main household? it could be fun drama if she rents from the landry’s and so there’s Big family drama there considering her step family would then have a rivalry with them. maybe instead of living soley alone she has a sister or something :)
i love the idea of Bertie being aroace and i’m defintely going to implement that too.
and i hope you can make a save file soon!! you have such great ideas that would be excellent for stories in one!! ❤️❤️
& thank you!! you are so right and i know that, i’ll try to not get in my head about videos. :)
@@silleepigeon
Yeah, i think setting it up with the relationship panel is a good start, Bertie being an acquaintance/friend with Harlow's gf whereas Laurie doesn't know her at all. Maybe there could be a picture of Harlow and her gf that Bertie has at his house in a storage box? I don’t think you can really show why its there, but you can at least have it in mind when putting it there that she left it there by accident or Bertie took the picture for them and forgot to give it to them. Maybe when naming the picture you could put "(Note: Give to Harlow)" at the end of the name to get that across.
I like the idea that maybe she’s the step daughter from a previous marriage and she’s the oldest child. But i feel like she’s kinda young for that?
Also thank you! You’re so sweet:) Your lore is already so thorough and interesting, I'm just glad i could give some ideas. 💗
@@g0ingh0st oh that’s a good idea! could even be a photo from all three of them hanging out like they are all friends, which would explain why bertie has it!
and she’s a young adult, in my mind her and Laurie and Bertie are all like 18-23 years old. i could do a twin younger by one minute type of thing!
you can delete and add milestones with ui cheats if that ever becomes an issue btw! you can even select the specific lots and sims associated with them! idk if the gameplay associated with them works but i did it when my sim’s birth milestone glitched and it fixed it
also i love the yapping, do what u wanna do
oooh great to know! i’ll probably utilize that :) and thank you!! that’s very nice
Thank you for this comment, I completely missed that the ui cheats allow you to change existing milestone info for what they unlocked with. That is so much easier than trying to set that up through real gameplay if you just want to skip it (or as you said if the game glitches it out).
@@kimosumiko you're welcome!
I think you should put some like unreleased songs, abt his personal life, or whatever, songs that he tought it was trash. Maybe you could do that Bertie had an affair with Harlow and thats why they broke up, they have bad compatibility and etc :)
i will def write more songs as a storytelling technique!! i think i’ll have some “demos” that each of them wrote as individuals
I feel like you could talk more! It’s so interesting to know ab how ppl set up their lore bc I don’t usually play in this way. Make whatever content makes u happy!!
omg ty!! i am trying to just make things that are fun and not worry about it too much
The jacket on Harlow's party wear really completes that outfit. And that right there is exactly why playing this game without cc is so hard. Making my own save file too, and I'm hoping to make it one I eventually feel confident sharing publicly, but to do that I don't want to use cc personally so it can be a little more user friendly to everyone. But then of course mods are going to be integral to making the save function the way I want it to.
All this to say, you're already using some cc in the builds so I don't see any reason to not use some CAS cc too. I see a few saves where people shared a cc version and a non-cc version. So try not to limit yourself if it makes you happier to use the cc.
Past relationship couple photos that one Sim holds onto is such good hidden lore, I love that idea!
Referencing lyrics for in-game song titles is also great, I don't know why I hadn't thought of that yet. I do plan to have some of my Sims be prolific writers so the libraries are full of their works, and I plan to use a lot of poetry lines for the titles. So lyrics for song titles just makes sense.
("it sure is a song" gods I feel that. Having to look up terms to remind yourself if it applies just so you can use it in a description is so real omg)
I've been playing the Sims since the first game and I'm still learning so much about this game from your videos. I had no idea your Sims could look inside other household's storage boxes and items can be kept inside like the keepsake boxes.
I hope you're not feeling too pressured while making this save and sharing your process with us. I know it's a lot of work, and I think I've said it before but it really is so special to see this process and the save come to life. The rambles are part of what sets your channel apart and makes it feel so cozy. I wish more people would stop editing out all of their pauses in videos tbh, sometimes the slower pace is better and it's more real.
Personally I don't think your sims have same face syndrome! Love these save file videos!
ty!! good to hear :)
i stumbled across your previous lore vid and i LOVEDDDD it!! just subscribed! don't worry about meeting high expectations, i love the way you describe the lore it feels like i am watching a series or reading a book
ahhh thank you this is very sweet!! ty for the sub too :)
Omg, I also always do the opposite of what I don't like with myself when making sims. But I have really tried to vary more. Especially now that I am starting to feel more comfortable with myself.
yeah i’m gonna try to vary more- i’ve been doing that with brows like mine & hooded eyes, but the chin thing i have a hard time with. i hate small chins in this game lol .-. i’ll try more to embrace it
@@silleepigeon yeah, the problem in the sims is that the chins disappear during the generations, so I almost always make it bigger in hopes that it will be passed on to the next generation haha
“They were close. Especially when he was alive.” Made me lol
i love watching this omg!! i wish every save file creator did something like this. i love downloading save files but i struggle with making storylines by myself. hearing you talk about them gets me excited to play it, even though it isnt out lol
I hope you see this, I just stumbled on your videos like an hour ago and I’ve been binging them.
Just a tip for Photos I like to use the RVSN full control camera. I think it’s a lot easier than the cameras that come with the game. All the photos are excellent quality so you don’t have to cheat the photography skill and you don’t need someone to work the camera plus you can move it up and down using move objects or the tool mod as much as you want.
i read & reply to all my comments!!! :)
and THANK you that’s very sweet :) thanks for the mod suggestion, im going to try it out for sure
It's so cool to hear & see this all coming together. You're totally making me want to make a save file too 😅😅
do ittt!!!
I love the rambly vibes always- I like having these on in the background while I play sims and it’s like I’m talking about sims with a friend:) and you’re so creative! There are so many things I wouldn’t have thought to include in my game that I’ve picked up from your videos!
ahh thank you!! i’m glad you like the rambley vibes :) i know that’s the style content i enjoy too and i do the same thing- put it on while i’m playing sims lol!
Omg a simmer AND a Ghost fan?! Immediately subscribing, those are two of my favourite things!!
omg i love ghost 😭i literally flew to LA to see them at the Forum which is gonna be a movie??? i’m so hype
your sims have so much variety in like all aspects. Face, clothing, backstory and just their lives i love the little details you add, pleaseee keep it up
omg thank you so much!! thats really nice :)
when you add clips of you editing and explaining some of the clips i find it so hilarious 😂 this makes me want to start another save file from scratch. You're really funny and inspiring.
omg thank you!!! and you should do it! it’s a lot of fun :)
I find videos like this very relaxing and motivating for my own save. Cant wait for the next video!
omg ty!!
39:21 for me they look *kind of* similar... Not exactly "same face syndrome" but there is room for a bit more variety 🙂 Like their noses are very similar and also they all have rather long faces with rounded chins
yeah the moses was what i was noticing!! which is interesting bc i Felt like i was trying harder to do different ones. maybe my overlays make it too samey and i need more overlays :)
I honestly love these SO MUCH. I love making save files and it is so much fun to see people making them
i’m glad you are enjoying watching!! :)
The basement looks SO COOL!!
I'm loving watching your lore videos!! ❤
omg thank you!!!
Not sure if you figured out your pet situation but pugowned has the best pets on the gallery. I’m sure they would be ok with you using their stuff if you give them credit.
that’s the person i was going to ask!
omg i needed this video!!! i swear i was searching for someone making or playing with bands this week
i’m truly trying to manifest showtime for the sims 4
I just found your account pretty recently but all of your content around this save file is super fun ! It's really inspiring me to start my own.
Found your channel yesterday and have been binging all your videos and got so excited when you mentioned ghost omg. Amazing music taste!
omg thank you!!!
38:00 You kind of do, actually, but personally, at least, I don't think that's that big of a deal, yk? For me, what's most important is for the sim to look how I picture them based on their personalities, lifestyles, and all that. Also, your sims look pretty realistic to me, and I feel like they harmonize a lot with their stories, if that makes sense lol
Anyways, I'm obsessed with your videos. They're so good!!
it’s hard to know the difference between sim style and too same face-y i think sometimes. plus i think my overlays make everyone noses look too same-y front on. when you look at the profiles it’s more diverse. i’m going to work harder for that to translate front on too.
Man I'm so loving this. We're so hungry for actual lore in this game.
A little tip for what I do if you wanna make younger versions of them and have them as pictures in their homes is I create a different save file and age them down and take pictures then stick them on a wall and create it as a room
just came from a few of your other vids and i just wanna say, ur lore thought process is so cool!!! could you pls make a video doing a deep-dive explaining how you start and end up executing your save-file lore plan? you’ve inspired me to try being more intentional with building my save file!✨💖
omg yes!!! i will do a video explaining how i brainstorm and plan things as soon as i can get to it!! and ty :)
i discovered you this morning and really just binge watched half of your videos 😭😭🩷🩷 i LOVEEEE your vids i cant
omg thank you!!! 😭😭
just found this channel, i don't leave comments usually but i love your style of videos sm ❤️ so cool to see other people play the sims the way i do i love hearing about other peoples lore
omg thank you so much!! this comment is so sweet :) i love seeing other ppl who play like me too
I love yappin keep yappin ur doin great i just found ur channel and ive been binging. I love these keep it up ❤
if i know how to do one thing it’s yap
New subscriber here, I absolutely love these save file videos! Don't worry too much, I think everyone is enjoying your commentary because you can see how much fun you're having. It's okay if you're more enthusiastic about some things more than others so you talk more in those parts. We're still enjoying it all the same! I know it's easy to get inside our own heads about these things but I think the magic of your videos is just you doing whatever you want to do and seeing what happens.
omg thank you!! i will continue to just do whatever feels fun ❤️🥹
THIS WAS THE BEST MOTHER'S DAY PRESENT THANK YOU FOR THE UPLOADDD! LOVINGGG your save file so far!
AHH ty!! happy mother’s day (belated now) i hope you got to relax :)
I'm listening to this video while I cc shop to build lore for my save file 😂. It's going to be a factory town that was founded in the 1890s, but the main plot is set in the 1930s/40s and it has some drama (think family drama a la Rosemary Kennedy and that entire mess)
i’m kinda late, but i love these videos so much! i just found them on recommended , and u should def do more of these!! u deserve sm more subs w these quality of videos
also birdie brown reminds me a lot of hobie brown from into the spiderverse😆😆i think birdie might be my fav in this save so far
The wild animal in the back! So precious. I am enjoying your videos so much!
omg i’m so glad!! and i know… he’s feral!!
😭🤞🙏 MANIFESTING A ROCK BAND EXPANSION PACK SO BADLY RIGHT NOW! I REALLY HOPE WE GET ONE!! 😫🙏
after the romance announcement i don’t think it’s happening this year sadly 😭😭 i was soooo convinced that would be the next ep
@@silleepigeon Same Crossing my fingers it's still a possibility for the future!!
Related to same face syndrome. I think we all have it and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just human to have preferences. If you want feedback I love how your sims look. They have a nice cartoony kinda vibe. I think you lean towards thinner faces with wide set eyes but they all look great and there’s good variety.
this is true!!! it is called sim style for a reason i think. but thank you for the thoughts.
Just starting the video…. Do you upload these sims to the gallery? If not it’s alright, but your sims have such a unique style and I love their outfits!
Girl… ur complaint abt the tattoo colors… so real. Black brows and tattoos do NOT show well on darker sims and tend to be blue unfortunately so I totally get u.
i do not!! they all have cc so it’s a hassle to upload them anyways.. i could upload some tray files for anybody who really wants them individually with the cc they need? :)
I KNOW!! it’s such an oversight how much doesn’t work at all on the darker skintones. honestly it’s such a bummer too bc those werewolf pack tattoos came out AFTER the skin tone patch so there’s really no excuse it just shows they didn’t even bother to play test on any dark skinned sims :,) which is just shit imo!
really enjoyed this!!! can’t wait for the next one
glad to hear it!! :)
Would love a video on all the mods you use to help you set up your save file!
yes!! i wrote that down and i’ll get it it at some point!! :)
the lore is fun! just be you!
ty!!
you could make them each have this secret song they made after they broke up hidden somewhere in their house :0
oh and also idk how much this would work but u could make a sim called magenta obscurity that could make the songs!
I love the way you make lore it’s so entertaining and btw I like the fact you talk us through it and I don’t think your talking too much!
I’m so exited to see what happens in this save and I love the lore of how Laurie and Harlow used to be in a relationship, but I don’t think Harlow should get involved with Bertie as I feel like it’s stereotypical of her to be in a love triangle with the band because it’s been done a lot, but I love harlow’s character so far! Idk why but I feel like she would have a brother I’m not sure whether older or younger and would have a single mother I don’t really know lol but maybe that’s something to think about ♥️
I love your channel so much I could honestly watch these all day!
omg thank you!! glad to hear you like the chatty style :)
partially why i was waffling was it felt stereotypical but also a trope at the same time and sometimes tropes are kind of fun.. another commenter suggested she has a girlfriend that laurie doesn’t know about and i decided i want to do that!
also a brother! that’s fun i was thinking sister but maybe i’ll swap to a brother :) i’m having her be a step kid of one of the rich families in town, but i totally imagine she grew up with a single mom before those two got married! extra lore there !! so thank you for the idea :)
46+53 what i like to do on the sylvan glade is put a lake and a wishing well
a wishing well is a fantastic idea!!
ugh loveeee this save file i’m obsessed 🤩
omg tyyyy
HII! i just started watching you yesterday, i LOVE ur videos and i love videos where people make / explain their own lore. have a nice day and goodbye XD
omg thank you!!! that’s very nice :)
I'm inspired to make a save file now how tf do you even start
you just. start. it’s honestly so intimidating. i recommend not starting in a bulldozed / blank world bc i think that’s super overwhelming. i literally just picked a lot that’s blank when you have all of EA’s builds and started there.
I’m actually in love with your save file, I can’t wait till you finish it!! Your sims are so cool and I love the way you think of all the lore. Got any tips for creating lore and a save file?
omg thank you!! i def got a loooong wats to go to finish it but i’m hoping to continue making good progress. and my tips for creating lore- i usually get inspired by media and especially by real life. i take the types of people or relationship dynamics i see in real life or media and i change the context and combine them to make them go in my save. taking inspiration for other sources than JUST your brain is key. usually that’s a starting place and then ideas can kind of spin out of control from there hopefully!! :)
if i were you i would totally make birdie fall in love with laurie because drama is so fun and makes good music
btw that would explain why they are separating
i think im gonna make bertie aroace but i think that idea is fun too!!
I love this series sm
omg i’m so glad!
the band reminds me of the 7 lives of lea
I knew i liked you but that Dr. Pepper sealed the deal 😂😂 ❤
i love dr pepper
looovee this lore videos
ty!!
I can't remember the girl name, but she gives me the vibes of like the type of person who grew up with very strict parents and for them shes an angel, but for everyone else she is like 'herself' and has the alternative style. Can you imagine what im saying lol? idk how to explain this but hope you see my comment!! Loving ur vids ^^
i totally know what you are saying!! i agree. i think she feels beholden to her family which is why she hasn’t left yet, despite being a YA
ALSO thank you:)
OK I love the idea of Laurie and Bertie being childhood besties with interest in music who are now in bit of crisis in their relationship with eachother. I see Bertie as someone who is really interested and active in the politics and to be someone who wants to maybe channel his beliefs in their music. Laurie is a cis-het white dude and he doesn't see as much of the discrimination as his best friend does, so politics isn't that important to him (he still has some leftist and antifa values but not as strongly as his bandmates). He seems more like a guy who just likes to make good music in a band with a girl he is still in love with but can never fully get back with. Harlow would have definitely moved on from the relationship despite being friends with benefits. I think she could have an open relationship with a girl (maybe from another town? and hasn't told Laurie)
Also I love these kind of videos because i don't have time to play or plan sims to this degree or resources to own this many interesting packs :D
Scott Pilgrim vs magenta obscurity ❤🎉
where do you get your poses from? love your videos, you’re so chill and our play styles are the same
omg thank you! i get them from tumblr, i usually scroll ts4-poses but i also know in the past i rlly used to use a lot of simmer berlin’s poses. unsure if she still has those up or not at this point?
@@silleepigeon thank you for the reply! geeking, i’m a big fan 😂🥰
gang you know we’re here for the yap right?
omg i do know this logically :,)
I haven’t finished the video so you might have figured it out but sometimes the game randomises the sexuality stuff actually in CAS when you first make the sim so unless you go in and change it you don’t know that it made Laurie aromantic. Just an idea as to what might have caused it
thank you!! i thought that that was what was happening- that it was game generated- but i couldn’t figure out how to turn it off (i cut some stuff of me messing with it out of the video). i’ve never used the vanilla orientation stuff bc i like my mods so much better for that. never had it randomly generate like that!
i’ll see if i can change it in cas. ty!! i’m being a bit of a boomer about this game with any feature after high school years i fear LMAO
Would you take sim/sim story requests?
if you have ideas i would be open to hearing them for my save file!! but i can’t guarantee i’ll include it. i think i would find somewhere to include *most* things since TS4 is so big and has so many worlds and therefore so many sims / stories. i can only really see myself not doing something if i find it offensive or if it’s about a specific sim and i’m attached to a particular storyline for that sim!!
if you mean like outside the save i’m not sure what you mean- like make a sim with a story for upload? i could see myself doing that too!
omg you should make bertie vegetarian instead of lactose intolerant bc like vegan punk hell yeah
i thought about that but then i was thinking maybe it was too on the nose!!!
What reshade / lighting mods do u use? Your game looks so fresh
what mods do you recommend, which ones did you use for this video??
i have a video on my channel going over my gameplay mods but i also use UI cheats and MCC in this video too!
what’s the headphones? i love them!!!!
like in real life or the game ?
@@silleepigeon the game! they were in the redheads inventory, i was wondering if they’re cc or a pack item
@@m4r66 cc overrides for a pack item!! they are the fitness stuff pack earbuds.
the override is called plumbob headphones by SixamCC
How do you get your sims to look like that?
i use a lot of cc skin overlays and defaults mainly by lamatisse and sammi-xox
can u share ur lightining mods? 💗
maybe for The two guys is that theyre really good friends but they have different political views and it causes them to fight alot?
this is an interesting idea!! i am gonna think on this one. ty’
You do NOT have same face syndrome trust me 😭😭
omg ty!! 😭 gonna try and diversify my face shapes anyways i think
What defaults skin and eyes do you use?
Sammi-xox’s Sage Default and Squea’s Pupa eyes!
