By
The next episode of The Adventures of Kylie & Magnus is live.

Video Description

Newly minted lovers Kylie and Magnus decide to take their first vacation as a couple a trip to Granite Falls, after all Kylie is a fish writer and Magnus is a fish programmer, so I guess they need to do some research by fishing and camping. A nice short vacay to bond over fishing and herbalism. Plus Magnus heard there was a secret hide-away tucked deep in the woods full of lots of treasure. So, what could go wrong?

Come immerse yourself in Kylie and Magnus' escapades:

I hope you enjoyed episode 4 in the Adventures of Kylie & Magnus Sims series. I always ask in the description, "So, what could go wrong?" Whelp, this episode took longer to produce as I ran into quite a few technical problems:
  • First, the software I use to capture the video only recorded a third of what I played. Then the portion of the video that was recorded most of it was pixelated and so I could not use it. That meant I had to replay the entire episode. 
  • Second, I ran into issues with editing portion of the software. The software kept freezing and crashing. 
  • Third, in game items placed in the Sims personal inventory would disappear, which made it nearly impossible to complete tasks for their careers, to save fish that was caught, or to keep harvestables needed for herbal remedies. 
As you can imagine I had to be quite creative with my editing and story telling. Many things I wanted to showcase in this episode was lost and I had to shift how I was going to present the game play. My end goal did not change, just how I got there.

My problems did not end with this episode, the next two episodes (5 & 6) I continued to have some unique problems from having to find mods to fix some technical issues with the Sims 2, to tons of video that was so horribly pixelated that I could not use them.

I eventually had to shelve production for a while and work through the technical issues. While I was doing that, I officially launched my other YouTube channel Tanya Owens Designs, which is more training/education centric. And I started my second Sims series: Off the Grid Bubs. 

The channel is fleshing out. So, I hope you stay around, subscribe, enjoy the content, and join the conversation. If you have some ideas about a series, I'd love to read them in the comments on the blog or YouTube.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Show Us Your Builds - Willow Creek

 World Map While playing the Sims 4, undoubtedly the world map has changed from the first time you played. That is true for me in many of my builds. I am a hybrid player. I love to build in the game, but I also enjoy playing. So my builds are typically for sims to live in or enjoy as a community lot. #SimTested Updated Willow Creek The map above is Willow Creek in my latest save BlueBoi Family.  I created the BlueBoi Family to play test my builds in my build world save. I just started a series of building homes from this Home Builder book I purchased over a decade ago. When I play tested the residential lots I built, I fell in love with the family and decided to play them. I saved the family to the gallery and then opened my Base Game save file which has my customized lots, families and clubs in it and plopped them into it, and then resaved it as a new save. This will be my new generations save.  Generations My first generations save, the Landgraabs, was lost June 2019 when a bumbleh

New Life Simulation Games on the Horizon and I'm Here for It

By

I am pretty stoked about the life simulation genre. It is a game genre I enjoy playing but it has been dominated by one developer, EA, for a long time. It seriously lacks diversity and is heavily skewed toward the queer community. Lastly, the Sims 4 is riddled with bugs and the developers ignore them and just churn out more packs because people are willing to pay more money hoping the game will be fixed and work as they envision. It won't, but they continue to live in their delusion. Wanting to get away from the toxicity of the Sims community and play a life sim game that actually works I was very excited when Life by You was announced earlier this year.  However, following the development of the game over the last few months and the promises by Rod Humble, I don't know if Paradox has given the game developer, General Manager Rod Humble , an ex Sims EVP and ex CEO of Second Life , the budget to hire people to really build a high-end life sim game. Life by You (LbY) is b

Sims 4 Infants - Good Idea, Horrible Implementation

By

The addition of infants in the Sims 4 is a great idea. You can tell tons of planning went into the infants mannerisms, interactions, and level of awareness. Unfortunately, just like the recent implementations of packs in the past three years, the addition of infants in the base game is riddled with bugs. The most annoying is that when you go to manage world and return the game places the infant out in the world far away from the home. Every SINGLE time. And secondly, if you leave the infant on the home lot with another parent the infants needs aren't met. So, clearly two very basic things the Sims team did not ensure was done wasn't. They did not include staging for the infant, so the infant loops the world when you are not actively controlling her/him. And when you leave the infant home the sims team did not ensure the infant's needs were met. I would give the sims team grace if this was the first time they implemented a little life state, but they did the SAME EXACT thi
