  • Danormous Sims has relocated

    This was a very difficult post to make, but I found this to be the right time to publish it.With the release dates of several similar and potentially better games approaching, I’ve decided to make the difficult decision to close down Danormous Sims.

    Thanks to Electronic Arts, Maxis, the Sims staff, production, development team, graphics, sound, design, engineering, UX, quality assurance, character modeling, visual effects, animators, post-production, and management staff that made The Sims one of the best games ever made. It redefined the genre of that was From the visionaries that brought the world’s first “people simulator” from Everybody all the mod and custom content creators, storytellers, Simblrs, Sim machinima creators, all the people working behind the scenes. This journey was very successful and I look to continue the journey in the next great life simulator.

    In the coming months, new chapters in life simulation will be written with the release of 2 new games: inZOI (March 28 – early access) and Paralives (later this year).

    I’ve begun the migration here: That life sim I’m working on is still in the planning stage I hope you’ll join us on our new journeys in inZOI and Paralives.

    That being said, this tumblr will no longer be updated. It will remain up until I decide to close it down.

    As Charlie Puth sang…

    It’s been a long day without you, my friend,
    And I’ll tell you all about it when I see you aga    in.

  • The real reasons I quit The Sims 4

    As you may have noticed, I’ve heard other opinions and cut all ties to The Sims 4 so I can learn to create content for inZOI and other games. But it’s a lot more than that.

    1. I was running critically low on hard drive space. I wanted to delete some of my large video files but I need to test the downloads in-game first.
    2. A portable 2 TB hard drive that I had been using to store large amounts of data, abruptly stopped working as I was copying some Sims 4 videos and personal data onto it.
    3. I originally bought my current laptop last year so I could get ready for Life by You. But a few days after it was delayed and weeks before it was canceled by the publisher, I started thinking about the other games Paralives and inZOI.
    4. After I finally had a couple get married last year, I felt it was time to retire. But various situations convinced me to coming back
    5. For me, The Sims 4 just isn’t fun anymore. But just as people are bolting to other games, it look like it’s set for a very strong comeback thanks to the newest expansion pack, Business & Hobby, which adds custom tattoos you can place virtually anywhere.
    6. I felt like it was time for a better opportunity to tell the story the way I want.

  • Romantic Mayhem!

    2 nights before this, Lautaro & Sylvia went on their first date. A night later, Lautaro autonomously (I was controlling Sylvia) invited her to a date, then autonomously asked to change the location. Several times the CPU asked if I wanted to extend it

    The very next morning, Lautaro popped into Sylvia’s apartment and this prompt appeared…

    Usually I don’t try to propose until at least 7 SimDays into a romantic relationship. But when I picked “decline”, the game went full F1 Lautaro got penalized with a ton of emotional this moodlet:

    (Note: The embarrassed moodlet was offset by a trait that made him flirty whenever his gf was nearby)

  • Introducing Sabrina

  • Sylvia’s 2nd boyfriend, Lautaro (Sylvia dumped Angelo because he kept feeling unattracted)

  • Sylvia’s eating breakfast with her first boyfriend, Angelo
