The creators behind The Sims 2 and fellow movie makers give you an inside look into the movie making world. I strongly recommend this for those just starting out, or for those who want to learn how to make their own machinima films. I learned a few tips and tricks from this myself! It's extremely helpful, and even interesting. Be sure to pause and rewind on parts you think you need to brush up on; I need to work on my background scenery myself. xD!!!
Enjoy!
I got this from The Sims 2's official website. (thesims2 dot com.)
Also, if there's something else you don't see in here that you think would be helpful, please post a video of it and make a response. I wanna see your ideas! :D
Also, this is from The Sims 2 deluxe edition, in other words, The Sims 2 + Nightlife. If you don't have TS2 yet, GET DELUXE EDITION. It saves you some money, and you get one of the best expansion packs EA has ever released in your game. c: Top it off with Seasons and you should be quite content for a few months. xD I know I am.
A suggestion from me: Don't use the sound! I'll post a video response of a video with sound enabled, and a video without it.

January 7th, 2009 at 21:57:19 If you aren't doing it, you have to type Boolprop in neighborhood, then when you go into create a family, hit shift n when you first get there (before you start to make a sim).

January 8th, 2009 at 23:52:14 you can do one of many things. c:~ two i know of for sure are to download hacks from places like mod the sims 2 and insimenator (google them both if you'd like) or to use the testingcheatsenabled code. just press ctrl+shift+c all at once, then type "boolprop tesetingCheatsEnabled true", then shift click on an object or a sim to find some interactions you normally can't do. also, google "jaydee sims" and look at his movie making tips for more ways to make them do different things.
