Hi all,
I've added a couple of extra packs to the base game recently and thought it was about time to start playing Sims 4 again!
You can see how well (or not!) I do in my new Single Sim Challenge.
In this challenge, it’s your task to control ONLY ONE Sim from Toddler to Elder. You will have to play as if you cannot control anyone else in your household. You may do anything in your Sims life but the tasks must be complete before ageing up. You can complete the tasks in any order. (I would set age span to long unless you really want a challenge)
Before starting the challenge, you need to create a family. My recommendation is 2 parents and a child sibling however you can choose to have 1 parent, no siblings or multiple siblings etc it’s up to you. Then you need to move them into a home worth under §40,000, this can be in any world or neighbourhood. I would then recommend getting your parents jobs and cheating them up to level 2 or 3 of that profession. Once you begin the challenge no changes, apart from clothes/hair in CAS, can be made to the family. (Only exception is if you need to debug a sim)

In the first episode we meet our new family; Adam, Ami, Barbi and, most importantly, Barney.

But, despite them, Barney is having a good day though his poor sister, Barbi, is being totally ignored and so is in a most wretched state.

Hi @Georgiadonkin, good to hear from you.
I use Open Broadcaster Software to record my gameplay and commentary as I am playing. I then open the OBS file in Adobe Premiere Elements to edit the video and add things like titles and any special effects. I also compress the huge file that is then created by Premiere Elements so that it is easier to upload and play on Youtube.
Other people will use different programs (there are several good ones that are free as well as expensive 'professional' programs), and many will record any commentary or voice-over separately, but the process is generally the same:
You will need quite a good spec computer because running both a game and recording software at the same time needs quite a lot of CPU power and also movie editing software can be slow if you're adding a lot of effects or there are many different layers or parts to the video you're creating.
Hope that helps a little.
