You’re very welcome. I’m so glad you found it helpful!

Awesome video! It helped me figure out what animation boxes I needed. Thanks!

Also If you want to access your clips and re-edit something right away, I find it easier to make the sims run in a window that way you dont have to press alt+tab. It saves time ^_^

Every time i download a hack it comes up with a zip file thing.
Then when i go in the game i don’t have a any hacks.
what do i do? was i surpose to do something else to put the hack in?
If you can’t help i would greatly appreicate it.

make sure you unzip the files where you’re told to. Check the readme file that comes with the hacks.

Thanks for agreeing to help me.
um one question wat do you mean when you said “where you’re told to”

Saddsynumber1April 26th, 2009 at 9:03 am

also is extracting unzipping the file??
sorry for all the questions

sSmtty6971April 26th, 2009 at 11:50 am

In the readme file it’ll tell you where you should keep those files. I don’t remember if they just go in your download folder or if it’s somewhere else.

sSmtty6971April 26th, 2009 at 11:50 am

yes.

does GunMod’s Camera Hack slow down the movements from ctrl 4 – to ctrl 5?
if you get what i mean…

sSmtty6971April 29th, 2009 at 7:09 pm

I guess I don’t know what you mean.

Thanks so much for this! It was very helpful, especially everything about the “cameraman mode.” I do have one question:

How do you make popcorn ceilings work? I’ve downloaded them before and they never appear in the game (supposedly under “decorative-misc.”). So, it may just be a download issue, but maybe not. Are the ceilings meant to appear and be placed like other objects (plants, beds, etc.) or is there something you’re supposed to do with the roofs?

sSmtty6971May 8th, 2009 at 12:42 pm

The ceilings are placed like plants, one tile at a time. They are kind of a pain, but worth it. If you have Apartment Life, then ceiling tiles are included with that expansion pack, and are placed like carpeting over the top floor.

ValTannerMay 9th, 2009 at 4:27 am

Okay… yeah, I’ve seen ‘em used before. They are worth it! And Apartment Life has them included? Very cool… I guess I need to buy that EP then? :] Thanks so much for the help!

This vid was really helpful. however i still want to ask u somthing if u don’t mind :) in most videos that i watch, ive noticed that when they move their camera, its not all jerky. like when they are filming diagnoly and they move the camera upwards towards the sim, it moves smoothly. is that what thea slowmotion cheat is for or do you add that effect when you edit the clip in sony vegas. ( if u use that) thanxs! :)

xxCutiexx96xxMay 14th, 2009 at 4:12 pm

TimothyhendrawanMay 23rd, 2009 at 11:03 am

does the boxes work with only base game?

sSmtty6971May 23rd, 2009 at 12:35 pm

That I don’t know. I have all the expansions myself.

Jmbis25May 25th, 2009 at 2:48 am

No it doesn’t because the animations come from the expansion packs, the boxes only let you use them. Sorry.

xCodyxKellyxMay 25th, 2009 at 6:45 pm

when I go onto decorgal it says- ‘You do not have the correct permission to download this file’ why? it does that on all of them! :(

ValTannerMay 26th, 2009 at 7:39 am

You have to register on her site before downloading.

bobbybradMay 26th, 2009 at 12:15 pm

the bit were you can put your neighbors in view is not there for me . how come ???

sSmtty6971May 27th, 2009 at 10:23 am

not sure, maybe it was a part of an expansion you don’t have.
