I spent a lot of time yesterday researching Get Famous and was a little surprised just how much development they put into acting, hollywood, ect as the main focus of this expansion. Yet they seemed to have missed one incredibly simple and yet stupidly important aspect of the movies and becoming a star or "getting famous".
The actual movies. Or movie theatres for that matter. I mean do we actually get to go to the movies or watch your sims on some form of screen after they've made it?
I can't seem to find any info about this. I think it would be really cool to watch our sims after on tv or go to the movies to watch it with other sims.
Plus with all those camera's around in the trailes, do we actually get a camera to film in-game with? Like they've added 1st person camera now, please tell me thats to support a camera so we can make our own movies in-game like in the Sims 3.
This whole question seems kinda of weird actually, because it seems so obvious to an expansion pack about making movies...not to feature a lot where or way Sims can go to watch them. And you know, get famous.
Yet I can't seem to find any sort of theatre in the new town or lot for our sims to visit. For a expansion pack literally focused on film making and getting famous...of which the end result is achieved by people GOING to the movies to watch your actors perform (i'd assume) ....there is...none?
So how do sims get famous if people can't go watch their movies exactly?
Please don't tell me they didn't include this because theres a stuff pack with a giant big screen tv...its not the same as going to a venue designated as a movie theatre. They could have designed a new "screen" just to show your sims perform in movies for example. Plus they could have included new mechanics like going for a date to it or even expanding a new film critic career.
Am I wrong? Is there a new movie theatre venue with this expansion? It seems like a huge oversight not to include for an expansion all about making movies...

If it was possible, its probably have only one or two lack luster angles. A game like 'The Movies' was really fun and you could set up roles, edit the movie, do voice overs, build all sorts of different sets for genres, actors and just about anyone you can give unnecessary plastic surgery as well as go to rehab. I recommend anyone to download this game or but it.
Wasn't expecting anything to the degree of watching movies play out.
I THINK I saw a New very large screen that looked to be like a better looking movie theater flat screen. Forgot which video I saw, but it didn't have that atrocious film grain over it.
Well there are certainly easy ways to make "pre-made movies" and fill them in with your character. Think of all the games like Mass Effect that have pre-rendered cut scenes that EA has made, that basically all play the game but fill them in with your character.
So they could have designed like a couple movies that way for your sim to "appear in". Or they could have simple made a rabbit hole movie venue, where you can check in. Stand on the red carpet for new movies ect. Buy candy, ect. The only difference is the actual movie theatre door inside the venue would be a rabbit hole where your sim disappears into for 2 in-game hours. Its not pretty but at least its something too.
Just seems weird to exclude such an important aspect about the movies, is no movies or places to go watch them lol.
It was the Del Sol Valley/Buy Build Livestream
If anything, I would have accepted something along the lines of sim 2 cutscenes making a return much like cutscenes you were speaking about.
Eh, I'm not sure about rabbit holes and going to a venue JUST to go into a rabbit hole? Seems like a waste of a secret lot. Though you can have award ceremonies for your sims to attend that have that lot trait and see if they won anything just no fancy screen showing anything unfortunately. I imagine if something did play its probably be a loop of different sims in movie clips.
You can record, but you can’t see it.
Wait...what? Whats the point of recording if you can't view it in some form in or out of game??
IKR? 😒
When you record in game with it creates a file for you to watch or edit in the game files. I think they meant you cant watch your recording in game
>>My build showcase thread<< and my newest creation Modern Celebrity Mansion, 1 Torendi Tower Penthouse, Sea Breeze Animal Clinic, and many more!
Yes it's sad. It's like the photo studio that doesn't have an npc attached to it.
Are you talking about with the drone and the stream desk because that's what I was talking about and I don't think that's true. Unless you're talking about the in game recorder which I am not.
But you can do Sims 4 machinima - record in-game footage. Just don't think you can view it in game.

Is VHS still a thing?
