Studio News: Pose Player & Creator Studios

Andrew has created the Sims 4 Pose Player and it is available in his Studio here: Andrew’s Studio.

You can use it to make your Sim or any other Sim perform the pose or animation you choose.  He has included a list of all EA clips and, if you have a default override of an EA clip in your Mods folder that will play instead.  If there is any interest in it the pose player mod can be expanded and Studio can work with that mod.  Let us know what you think in the Studio wish list. 

Studio is introducing Creator Studios tonight.  The Creator Studios at Studio Forums are a place for creators to post uploads to share with the Sims 4 Community. You can use your Creator Studio to just post one or two special things you’d like to share with the Sims 4 community or you can use it as your online “home base” where you post all your content. We hope that creators will take this opportunity to participate in the most dynamic, vibrant, and engaging Sims 4 community currently online. 

If you’re a Sims 4 creator Studio Forums is the place to find the best custom content creation tool, the most comprehensive tutorials showing how to create for Sims 4, and the most friendly and responsive help with Sims 4 projects. If you would like to help support and expand the amazing Studio community the Creator Studios are the place and now is the time.

This is important.

!!!!!!!!!!

It’s like EA has set a precedent for themselves with the other EPs so from now on they all follow that path regardless of what we want, under the guise of giving us what we want. They’re trying to appeal to us by giving us Sims’ “staples” such as parties and magic and aliens, and although they might be fun, in reality that’s only because every other game has had that so there’s both an obvious market and an incentive for people to try TS4 when it’s more like TS/2/3. 

In reality what we all want is for them to grow from the previous incarnations and understand what we actually want is for the base game to be fleshed out. Instead of relying on gimmicky expansions that only add to the game in the sense of giving the player something new to complete, give something that increases to enjoyability and “replayability” of the entire game such as weather, new aspirations, new careers, etc. 

Having every game be a replica of the last is straight up lazy and when EA try to do something new it doesn’t capture the essence of The Sims, in my opinion, and proves that literally all they can do is churn out the same over and over and over because it’s an easy profit. 

I agree with this fully. My friend and I were just talking about this yesterday, as a matter of fact. It seems as though what they’re gearing the Sims 4 as this game with content that mimics mundane (and nearly useless) activities of real life. As you’ve seen with “Get to Work” and “Spa Day” instead of as you mentioned the actual playability of the game like seasons and pets and toddlers. It seems they are much more interested in giving us expansions like “Sports Stuff” (which is one we guessed will be up soon or next) just so they can churn out a halfbaked expansion with a few outfits, hairs, and a few skills and animations for $20.

We also expected them to EVENTUALLY come out with Seasons and toddlers. But they are most definitely going to slap $40 price tags on those babies because they know very well what we want as a community. They’re waiting until they can rake in as much money as possible before they drop actual content we’ve always wanted in the game. As for now, we get nothing useful.
