GOOD NEWS! I'm lost anymore, that's the good news.

The bad news is that it's gonna suck to work on the episodes I've already recorded, but at least they'll be watchable, I think.

I'm having a lot of fun recording for Faeducation, but I'm currently completely lost with the editing... I mean, I'm done cutting the rushes of the 1st episode and the 2nd is not far behind, but... What type of narration should I go for?
Should I be a narrator or let my Sims tell the story?

Triple posepack day! These were made for characters who fly *without* wings, so if your Sim has wings there may be clipping in some poses; I just couldn't resist trying them on my fairies, & also couldn't be bothered to take new preview pictures because... triple posepack 😅

LVL UP! I've learned how to separate audio tracks in Streamlabs! Now, my voice is separated from the game audio.
It's going to be easier to adjust my voice for the right moment and translate videos.
I'll use this method starting on Episode 5, so don't be weirded out if the narration style change.

I'm working on lists for Faeducation to help me out.
I'm listing the spells with the needed lvl to acquire them.

I'm also going to make pages for each Power Source as well, because I need to know which ones are really worth it.

One adult man with yellow blone hair, next to an adult woman with dark hair. In front of the adults are two children, one holding a bow and arrow, and the other holding a doll.

I would like to ask you guys what type of storytelling you like in Sims4 Let's Play videos.
How do you feel about fully voice acted machinimas, with voices matching Sims personality and design?
And how about a narrator (in that case me) interpreting the events?
I really need to know.

Oh yeah I get that 100%, voices are super important for LP videos as their help tell the story and explain what's going on.
If ot's just watching a silent Sims4 video, I'd rather play myself.

No, no it's fine! I'm asking people as I'm trying new things anyway.
I always voiced over my LP, with my webcam, but I didn't this time for a few reasons.

everything everything? Like the whole episodes or just during machinimas?

✨️Ardosims✨️is COOKING 🦋🏫🦋 @ardosims.bsky.social · 2d

I've made a silent machinima once, it's nice as it's universal, but it's also harder to make imo, because every action has to make sense and be clear, it's quite a flex to do that with a game like TS4, where things often are chaotic.

Alright, I think I'm done cutting through the rushes for the 1st episode of Faeducation. So far it's 13:30 minutes long (I was expecting something longer tbh).
That said, a scene from the 2nd episode could be pushed back as the end of this episode, I'm not sure yet.

✨️Ardosims✨️is COOKING 🦋🏫🦋 @ardosims.bsky.social · 2d

That's the path I'm considering taking as I want the videos to be available in french and english

I'm so excited about Faeducation, It's so lame I can't talk about it yet! 😭

apparently not... It's like the crash errased the file 🥲

Welp, I wanted to show you guys a cute little scene, Resolve crashed while saving, I don't have anything to show... wonderful.

I've been experimenting with voices for the machinimas this morning, and I can't find the right voice for one of Faeducation's main characters. Should I really take the AI generated voices path?
I fear using my regular voice for everyone will impact the fight scenes negatively.

Adventure Awaits would be so handy for Faeducation, my god.
I could plan the different school days for the week instead of struggling trying to hop between High School Years gameplay and Businesses and Hobbies.

I've got this feeling too recently.
It feels there's more happening between my Sims than what I see at first, then I see morw coherent animations and reactionduring the editing... It's in the details.
