2. I use a lot, but I use these the most (the more expansion packs you have, the more options appear):

• Sitting Talk/Conversation Hack for Movie Makers (and Storytellers)
• Talk Overlay Hack for Movie Makers (and Storytellers)
• Custom Prop Hack for Movie Makers & Storytellers
• Standing Talk/Conversation Hack for Movie Makers (and Storytellers)
• Parts Posing BOX(Legs and Arms)
• PoserBOX (Head, Neck, Arms, Legs, Spine, etc)
• InSimenator Mod
• And these come in handy.

This comes in handy for extras in background:

• Decorgal’s talk hacks Changed to Overlay!

3. Here’s a rough tutorial I made.

4. I take my time to create the sims, I build sets with detail (don’t be lazy), I set up camera angles by pressing TAB and then ctrl+ any number between 4-9, and record/cut by pressing V.

5. I edit the shows with Sony Vegas Pro 11 and I edit/create the music in Mixcraft 6. 

6. I use the above hacks listed. I use this to make them stand pose - arms side (or whatever you choose) and then have them talk with this. OR I use this and choose dialogue - sit regular and then have them talk with this.

7. I use this. You have to toy with different degrees and such. It’s simple, once you get the hang of it.

8. No, I can’t. You need to figure all of this out on your own to be frank. Everyone has a different style. I have a method that works for me and you have to find your own.

I’m just handing out tips. That’s the best I can do. You can also follow tutorials like this. Do some research before jumping into it. You can’t be lazy with this or your viewers won’t like it.

9. I follow these methods (links go to YT):

• Clothing
• Skins

10. You’ll find some here: fashionofsimgm.tumblr.com

11. Here. If you looked and you can’t find the mesh. Message me and I’ll email you it. If I don’t get back to you right away, be patient please.

12. Using this download http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,100226.0.html

I spawn the ‘summoner’. I click on the sim I want spawned (they can be in the neighborhood bin it doesn’t matter as long as there in the neighborhood, you can summon them) then, to add them to the family I spawn ‘the family tree’ I click on add to family, then the sim’s name. Done.

OR

With the “boolProp testingcheatsenabled true” cheat on you can right click on a sim and spawn the tombstone of L&D. Click on the headstone- there should be an add neighbor to family option- search through the names and bam.
