Sims 3 World Showcase (playlist)

Yay! This was another thing I've been wanting to do for a long time. Custom worlds don't get a lot of attention on YouTube and I think that needs to change. So now I'm doing a series where I show off the best custom worlds in the community, often ones not many know about! The first episode has already received a lot of positive feedback, can't wait to see what people think once more are released!

New Intros!

As a videographer in real life, I realized my let's plays were missing an important element. I needed something to catch the viewer's attention right off the bat. What better way to do that than to produce snazzy intros? Here's a couple of them, with some "behind the scenes" sort of commentary.

 Doing intros is also a nice way to show what my sims are like and give them "character themes" much like in the Sonic Adventure games.


This one was really fun to make. Since Island Paradise is all about living the island life, I decided it would make sense to use a scrapbook design since people usually vacation in those types of places, and scrapbooks are a great place to keep memories. The Moonlight household are laid back and carefree, so some relaxing music in the background was ideal.

Ladford is the first of the two sims to receive an intro, but the filmstrip transition will very likely apply to both him and Alice. With the "Rivals" aspect making the let's play more story-driven and the Medieval atmosphere of Dragon Valley in mind, I knew I had to do something more film-like with both the look and the music.

The Sims 3 Store Review - Business as Usual Bistro



This is a pretty cool venue. Finally open restaurants in The Sims 3! Well, sort of. The chefs are the waiters. Actually in my case the bouncer was the chef waiter.

Island Paradise MADNESS!

Well, it's been a busy past couple of days. Island Paradise came out on Tuesday (released on Origin pretty much right on time too!) and it's glorious. Glorious enough that my new Let's Play for this expansion has already caught up in number of episodes to Let's Play Dragon Valley Rivals. I love expansion packs that can offer a completely new lifestyle just as Late Night and Pets have done in the past, and Island Paradise falls into the same category.

Here's the full playlist:


Some pictures will be coming later too! Have fun :)

SimGuruCopeland's Pyramid of Doom Gym

Hey everyone, here's a quick overview of a bonus venue SimGuruCopeland uploaded to the exchange, the "Pyramid of Doom Gym." Love that name. This is meant to go with the Skylight Studio of the Performing Arts (Click here to watch my video review).

The exterior. First thought was "Whoa, this is really bright!"


Here's what you see when you first come in. Interesting use of blue, I like it.


This is the second floor. Orange lockers! :D


Third floor. Very bright green. Not sure what to think :P


Fourth floor, easily my favourite. Nice view up here! Perfect place to be at peace with oneself.



Hope you enjoyed this post, leave a comment letting me know what you think of this lot. Thank you SimGuruCopeland for sharing it with us!
