Minor Sim News And Personal Update

Hey guys :)

We are living for "vacation" on Saturday. We'll be visiting my folks for two weeks. So not actual vacation, but at least change of scenery and family and friends reunions (haven't seen them since Easter)

Currently uploading my first video on YouTube. It's nothing special , just a House Flipper video, sped up , and me rambling so ppl can get to know me. The sound is horrible, the editing is horrible, the voice over is horrible, and the video has filmora's watermark (My bad as I didn't research it well and had no clue until I tried to export) Bare with me as I'm still trying to figure out the tools, and get used to speaking to "public" in English. Plus I'm on a Razer Electra head set which is not the best , but it's all I could afford atm.

We are expecting a new update at some point. SimGurus say "soon" but no idea when that will be. They did mention though that there is going to be a fix for the blurry screenshot issue.I think it was SimGuruKate on twitter.

I've seen numerous complains about that issue, and i really don't get it. I know blogs need to be updated, Screenshots need to be shared so lots and Sims can be showcased. Be patient my fellow simmers. No game is bug free, and will never be. I once had a mammoth stuck on a tree on Skyrim. The only way to get it out of there was to restart the game. A few friends of mine have mentioned they use FRAPS as an alternative, so maybe check that out?


For more gallery issues see here:

Gallery Issues on AHQ

There is also some frustration about how the gallery is showcasing the uploads. Most popular seems not to be that popular (pun?) The team is looking into this. 

Well that's it for me now. I'll have more builds showcased in the future. Some are old with CC and no gallery links, and I'll also start working on new ones as soon as I get back from vacation. Already working on a Challenge by Simarchy, but it's gonna take a while (I'm a slooooow builder) 

See ya next time guys , and Happy Simming 

Gallery Update

As promised, I took some nice screens from the new gallery tonight. I'm really in awe. Looks so sleek and it loads so freaking fast!!!

Once you open the gallery, you immediately find yourselves looking at other simmers creations. Let me say here that I found myself looking at some jaw dropping builds I've never seen before

Clicking on a a creation will bring up the details , with the comments now on the side. Much easier to read and add comments, favorite or add to library now (featured build here is randomly picked, the first on my list. Still freaking awesome though)

Next, there is your usual "news" tab

Then we have your profile tab , where it showcases your creations, in a big window and then random creations around it. It also lists your overall stats like downloads , followers and shared content. It also has two buttons. "Friends" which obviously brings up your friends list  and a "view catalog/view profile" toggle, for which will talk about next

The "view catalog/view profile" toggle will take you to your uploaded creations page, where you can see everything you've uploaded, and clicking on it again will take you back to your main profile page.

Last but not least , there is "my library" tab where you can see whatever you've saved in your library (obviously🙄)

So that's all for now. I'm really happy with this update , as it seems the gallery is way more efficient. And as it was mentioned in both the stream and the patch notes , there are several more gallery updates to come, and I 'm really looking forward to them.

As a side note, I'm also looking forward to more streams as SimGuruKate mentioned. We finally get more communication and IMHO, it is really needed. Exchanging feedback between the community and the Gurus, is a definitely something we need to cherish. It will help our beloved game get better and more fleshed out , exactly the way we want it to be.

That's it from me today. Enjoy the rest of your day and Happy Simming!!!
