2015 THE START OF A NEW ERA

New Year new magazine After many months of planning finally comes to light a project that started last July 4th If Irsquom honest at the start

I was nervous about how people will react to the opening of a new Sims fansite - I didnrsquot know what to expect But this uncertainty didnrsquot last long as the welcome couldnrsquot have been better Undoubtedly the peoplersquos enthusiasm has been a great source of moti-vation to carry out this project

Our objective is to be able to publish a high-quality magazine that pleases all types of players from those how spend hours and hour in the live mode to those who enjoy creating and driving their creativity to pro-fessional levels

The start is never easy even more when you have to start from scratch Luckily Irsquom not alone I have the support of a great team of collaborators They are Sims enthusiasts who like me have all their illusion to this project and believe great things can be done With no doubt they are the pillars of Sims Vita But we want to go one step further We want you to become part of this project so together we make Sims Vita a joint project of The Sims fans Your ideas and work have a place in Sims Vita Excited and proud of the result we hope the Sims community welcomes Sims Vita as good as it has done up until now

HOW TO CREATE CLOTHES WITH TRANSPARENCIES

SIMS 4

Firstly we open a photo edition program we feel comfortable us-ing I will use Photoshop CS6

For this tutorial I will design a pat-tern with the background semi-

transparent and black polka dots on top We open the image of the polka dots pattern we have downloaded from the InternetWith the magic wand tool we select the white back-ground and fill it with black instead in order it matches the toprsquos background color (which as you will have de-duced will be black)

We copy the background to a new layer (by clicking ldquoLayer via copyrdquo)

We adjust the transparency of the layer (by doble clicking in the layer) to 25

Welcome to a tutorial where you will learn how to create a clothing item with transparencies in a simple and easy way

First of all I want to thank Ayla Perez for teaching me how to do this and helping me with this tutorial You can find some great Sims 4 downloads as well as a video tutorial in Spanish on how to creat transparent or semi-transparent clothes in her blog

Now that we have our pattern created we will use it to create a custom Swatch for the top we are about to create

We select the top we will retexture

Itrsquos very important to change the name of the file Here we also add our custom Swatch Afterwards we click Finish

We open up Color Magic (when I made this tutorial I used 052 ver-sion - you can download the latest version available here) a program that enables us to create retextures for both The Sims 4 and the CAS

demo

You must keep in mind that the packages for one game are not compatible with the other In our case we will select The Sims 4

COLOR MAGIC

We will open after the S4PE to export the dds

7

We open the toprsquos dds file in Photoshop

We select using the Rectangular Marquee Tool the section of the top where we want to have the transparency

We select the toprsquos outline with the magic wand and copy it to a different layer

We unlock the background layer by double clicking it and then re-move the content of this layer

Itrsquos very important to erase with the Eraser tool all the saw tooth

edges the top will have by default since these will then appear in the game

We then copy the selection to a new layer and erase this selection from the previous layer Now we drag the layer from the pattern we previously created into this docu-ment

We adjust its size to the space avail-able using ldquoFree transformrdquo and the Eraser tool

EDITING THE TOP

Now we will proceed to change the texture of the toprsquos background in order it has a more realistic appear-ance In order to do this we create a custom pattern

We adjust its opacity to 50 in order the toprsquos shad-ows can be still seen

In order our transparency appears as such in the game we must re-move the alpha channel To do so we go to the Channels tab and eliminate Alpha channel

14

15

Once we have done that we can save the file and im-port it to S4PE again

And here we have the final result ndash our custom top with transparencies

As you can see the edges arenrsquot very smooth (they are still quite ragged) We can improve this with the rub-ber tool in Photoshop and lots of patience

I hope this tutorial has been helpful and that we all little by little easily manage to create our own clothes for The Sims 4

Create a new document of 1920x1200 in order to create our brush comfortably I recommend you to use a white or transparent background since we are going to use dark colors

We add a new layer and draw in a back circle on it with the help of a circular brush The size is not very important but take care itrsquos not too big or too small compared with the size of the background

With the help of the mouse right button we click on our circlersquos lay-er and select ldquobinding optionsrdquo (the first option on the menu) to edit the layer styles

An easy and elegant effect suitable for your favorite Sims photos Do you want to know how itrsquos done Follow the steps then

1 2 3

12

In the pop-up window select ldquoBinding optionsrdquo and change the fill opacity in ldquoAdvanced Blendingrdquo from 100 to 50 You can modify these values slightly de-pending on your tastes but I recommend you to fol-low suit this tutorial if itrsquos the first time you are doing something like this or you have little knowledge on Photoshop

After this step the circle will appear a bit transparent as in my image

Without closing the window go to the ldquostrokerdquo option and change it to a size proportional to its size In my case is of 15px but if you havenrsquot used a brush of the same size as mine (437 px) try to make the outline look as similar as possible to mine

Now you can click ldquoOKrdquo and close the ldquoLayer Stylerdquo window

4 5

13

In order to save our brush we only have to select the layer and go to ldquoEditrdquo in the top horizontal menu and look for the option ldquoDefine brush presetrdquo and click it

6

A pop-up window will appear where we can give it a name Irsquove called it ldquobubblesrdquo but you can leave the predefined name if you wish

If you have saved the brush correctly you can now close the document without saving

7

14

Now open the image with our sims where we want to apply the effect and choose our brush from the brush display The new brushes are usually found at the end so I recommend you to start looking for it from the bottom

We select it and adjust its size according to our tastes

8

15

Inside ldquoBrushesrdquo (Brush Presets) we will select and modify the fol-lowing options

gtldquoScatteringrdquo I recommend you to increase it to 1000 check the box ldquoBoth axesrdquo and increase ldquoCount Jitterrdquo to 10 for a better finish

gtldquoShape dynamicsrdquo Set the ldquoSize Jitterrdquo to a 50 in order each bub-ble has a different size

gtldquoBrush Tip Shaperdquo In order to avoid the flux is too dense itrsquos convenient to use an appropriate ldquospacingrdquo for example between 20 and 50

These percentages may vary de-pending on the size of the brush the size of the picturehellip even depending on your tastes

9

16

Finally create a new layer and (having selected a col-or of your preference) start using the brush wersquove just created as you would use any other brush

Donrsquot forget to select in Layer Style -gt Blend Modes -gt Overlay for a greater transparency and brightness

This is how Elvira who together with Alfonso administrates pekesimscom described his colleague Surely she is one of the simmers who knows him better though after this interview we hope to know a bit more about Alfonso and his experiences in the Sims world

ALFONSO PEKESIMSldquoCreative perfection-ist and someone who likes to help other as you will see reflected in his work But above all and since the be-ginnings Alfonso is a simmer at heartrdquo

Itrsquos great to build and see how little by little the idea you had is taking shapeI really like itrdquo

We know you love designing and building with The Sims Which type of constructions you enjoy most makingUndoubtedly I enjoy creating all types of houses One day I may cre-ate a modern and minimalist man-sion and another day I just build a charming house full of old furniture with an overdone decoration I sup-pose creating houses of all styles for all players is where the equi-librium lies Itrsquos great to build and see how little by little the idea you had is taking shape I really like it

From all of the creations yoursquove made so far which one you would pick as the best one I can say with absolute certainty Metsauml the last world I created for The Sims 3 From the modeling of the terrain to the smallest details in a Simrsquos biography I enjoyed every second I spent creating Metsauml I took me months of hard work to create it but the final result was worth it

The Sims 4 Building mode has brought tons of new tools that have made building much easier and user-friendly but is there some element you miss from The Sims 3I miss being able to edit the ter-rain Although it was a tool I didnrsquot use much in The Sims 3 I miss it I donrsquot know the reasons why they

took it out but I hope in the fu-ture they include it again I also miss the Create a Style tool though not as much as I thought I would but there are times where I think ldquoRight how it would do wellrdquo Apart from building do you like to create simsStrangely enough it was not until The Sims 4 arrived that I liked to cre-ate sims Before I hated the CAS - I found it boring But now The Sims 4 CAS itrsquos so easy to handle and enter-taining that it has made me go in and create sims simply for the pleasure of doing so I love to trying to recreate real people I can spend hours and not get bored not even a little bit

102

From July 28th to August 1st Sims creators from all corners of the world met in the Electronic Arts studios in Redwood City California where they had the chance to try The Sims 4 exclusively before any-one else To this event commonly referred as Creatorrsquos Camp only a few fortunate simmers had the honor to attend it and amongst them was Alfonso the only mem-ber from the Spanish community

How would you describe your experience at Creatorrsquos CampIt was a very enriching experience I met people from all over the world which are passionate for The Sims - that was something you could sense The atmosphere was great and we certainly learnt a lot from each other

Did the event go as you had imag-ined it would Not at all I was very nervous as I didnrsquot know what or who to expect at my arrival But it has been more than a simple Sims event - itrsquos been a fantastic opportunity to meet peo-ple and make new friends There

were at times where The Sims took a second place and we simply just sat around and chat told stories laughed

From what you experienced what surprised you the mostEArsquos campus definitely I knew it was a good place to work at but wow Itrsquos made up of various buildings surrounded by gardens full of trees connected by cobbled walkways They have all kinds of facilities a gym for employees a huge cafete-riaeven a Starbucks just for them In the Maxis building for example in the entrance the lamp was a giant plumb bob There are also tempo-

rary exhibitions about EA games (when I was there it was about Plants vs Zombies) Itrsquos a place where it must be a joy to work even with all the stress Irsquom sure working on the gaming industry brings

Finally do you have any funny anecdote from the journeyOh I have lots I remember the 4 days we spent there TheSimSupply EnglishSimmer and I nearly died of cold Our computers where located just below the air-conditioning duct and we were literally shivering while we were playing But even so we

didnrsquot lift our hand from the mouse no matter how cold it was hahaha-ha I also remember I couldnrsquot stop laughing with TheNumberswoman from The Sims Resource It was an event full of laughter we had a great time

It was a veryenriching experience I met people from all over the world which are passionate for The Sims - that was something you could senserdquo

ldquoIn my search for a way of sharing

the stories that my mind created

I found what is today my home

ActualidadSims At the age of 11 I

used to play in the Live mode (like

any other bored kid) I loved to rec-

reate the stories I pictured in my

mind though I must say in many

occasions they were quite crazy

As years passed I started see-

ing the game with a more artis-

tic perspective I used the Sims

as models and I created different

sceneries where I took pictures

of them I began to realize that

the CAS was designed for me

thought that became even clearer

when The Sims 4 was released

When I was offered the possibil-

ity of taking part in Sims Vitarsquos

project I didnrsquot doubt my re-

sponse to it not even a second

Not only because I was going to

be able to work with talented

simmers but because I was go-

ing to be able to work with great

people I hope this project what

started being a complete mad-

ness ends becoming a realityrdquo

THE EXISTENCY OF THE

LEGACY CHALLENGE IS NO

MORE THAN A REFLECTION

OF THE POPULARITY IT HAS

HAD OVER THE PREVIOUS

OF GENERATIONS AND AS

COULD BE EXPECTED THE

CHALLENGE HAS ARRIVED

TO THE SIMS 4

LEGACY CHALLENGE

or those who donrsquot know anything about it the Legacy Challenge is a challenge made by Pinstar a featured simmer of the community for The Sims franchise You must create a sim

and move himshe to the largest lot available build a small house with the money you have left and start a new life from scratch The Legacy founder must make renovations on the house increase the family wealth and of course leave descendents so a second genera-tion can take over when heshe dies

The main objective of the Legacy Challenge is to reach the 10th generation but following a set of rules and taking several decisions throughout the challenge what makes us question what type of Legacy I will live HOW TO START

To start the Legacy you must move the founder sim to the biggest lot available (a 50x50 lot in Willow Creek) This lot will be already occupied so you must go to the ldquoMODO GESTIONAR BARRIOrdquo and destroy the current home Once yoursquove done that we move in the sim buy the sculpture ldquoKnight of the Octagon Table ldquoand keep it in the family inventory Think of this armor as a family legacy of the old nobility which must last until the last generation After buying this armor we will find ourselves left with 1800sect which we will have to manage properly in order we can buy the necessary objects that accomplish the basic needs of our sim
