yeah i finally get sim time. i don't know how much i'll get saturday i'm dadsitting. the technical term according to wings is caregiving but im hopeing dad stays put while moms gone.
oh and i still have all my years at work because it was fixed before i left my apartment.
speaking of food here's a theory: let's say you wanted to make your Mom a cake for her birthday in late August but you were going to make it in place A but you need to figure out a way to get it to place B (ie home) and when you normally take the bus to and from Place A and no one in the family is aware of your plan and you know Dad's will probably be getting a store brought cake. What would you do to get your cake from Place A to Place B?

if it was me because i don't drive either i would find someone who does to get me from a to b.

simLit question: how do you guys stage club/bar/party scenes? Like how do you make it look like there are 50 sims in the room when there's really only like 10 lol
@Acarb90: I'll admit that my crowd scenes look pretty sparse. Though I try my best by allocating a modest number of background sims and using angles that show your main sims plus those designated for the background, and making sure to fill each shot.

There's mods out there where you can have a large quantity. I use MC Command Center and I believe there is a setting in there where you can have a bunch on a lot. Just cannot edit household or it reverts it down to 8.

@LegacySims2017: true but there is a point where you have to say enough is enough with how many sims you're controlling.

@Acarb90 The method @InfraGreen mentioned is definitely the sanest and easiest. And I think it works really well, especially if you aren't planning on having a lot of wide shots.
Though I did have a chapter once where I literally had 50 sims in the house (thanks to the fullhouse mod) It was an absolute nightmare -- my game was extremely laggy and it crashed at one point (thankfully after I had taken most of my shots by then, so when I re-loaded the game, I only put like half the number of sims in the house and did basically what Infragreen suggested).
Here is my photographic evidence of my insanity, by the way
Basically the point I'm kind of making is that if you REALLY wanted to, you could do more than 8-10 sims in a party scene. You just need patience and mods (though I honestly would not recommend ever doing more than 20-25 at a time. In retrospect, that's probably more than enough
Wow I was surprised by how fast this thread can move! I had a really long day today. Left my house early at 6:30 am and just got home at about 10:30 pm. So many pages to read here!
@LegacySims2017: true but there is a point where you have to say enough is enough with how many sims you're controlling.
Right?! I would only use it for scene settings like requested. Weddings, funerals, proms, family reunions...
As soon as I take the needed screenshots, I would probably revert back to my last save before I moved everyone onto the one lot....or....take the time to try and move everyone back to their own lots.
I'd go nuts trying to play a 20-50 member household lot.

@LegacySims2017 Haha yes that's exactly what I do! I never save with all those sims in the house because honestly, it's next to impossible to move everyone out after that, since you can't move them out the normal way. I forgot to mention that in my original reply to @Acarb90 , but that's definitely important to know if you're planning on trying to exceed the household limit with mods

that does look insane, but it made for a great shot!
What I've been doing is downloading random sims from the gallery and using the teleporter mod and then locking all the doors so they don't leave lol. the only problem is that I have been reusing sims and just dressing them differently. I guess due to poor budgeting and not enough extras (like a real tv show!)

That's not a problem, that's being resourceful.
i've been using the same sims for 2 years. ive been working on my story for 2 yearsdue to glitches. but i added 1 new character intending to write him out later but one of my female chacters got attached to him.

@CitizenErased14 I discovered that my game can't handle more than 15 sims with CC. Without CC it would probably work out but CC crashed my game every time I tried to change clothes after aging up triplet toddlers. T_T RIP my Amazon save!

@Acarb90 "Teleport Anywhere" mod paired with poses that run through "Andrew's Pose-Player" is an option you can use.
I placed all the sims in these images individually in poses that froze them in place. So when I switched angles, I could show a vibrant bar. Well, as vibrant as a Black & White scene can be!
I think the safest way is to just set the angle so that it looks like there are a bunch of people in there. I did a pretty big wedding scene and what I did was teleport them on the lot and forced them to pose. It were around 20 Sims and the game held up fine. If they are not part of your household everything is much less laggy. I'll be having a partyscene to stage soonish and I think I will try it that way first. Though I won't go as overboard as @CitizenErased14 with that! It made some really amazing shots, though!
@friendsfan367@CitizenErased14@Meggles Seems that there are quite a few Halloween kids here I'm a Christmas kid and enjoy it immensely. It's as if almost the entire world decorates for my birthday
@friendsfan367 I agree with @InfraGreen . My aunt is a deaconess (which is, a bit simplified, a Protestant non). They're allowed to speak at all times and everyone I've met so far is so cool! Most of them are past 50 but in my opinion their humor is legendary and they'll rock it up with you and crack jokes. I don't think it's anything different with monks or nons.
Speaking of Halloween in different countries, in my country, Halloween is like a marketing tool used by malls. So instead of trick-or-treating around neighborhoods (which are generally unsafe), kids do it inside malls that advertise Halloween events, and the adults who accompany them get discounts on certain things. Trick-or-treating is also done in gated communities where all the rich people live. And right after that is All Saints' Day, which is important for us since we visit our loved ones at the cemetery.
That's an interesting way to do the trick-or-treating!
@Acarb90 I do it in the same way as Munterbacon. And I think the pictures are proof that it works quite well! *whispers @Munterbacon * Love them!

I have a chapter coming up that will take place in a club. so I'm gonna need to download lots of sims for that lol. I wish there more dancing poses!

I proudly do it too.
