Wow, cinema
« on: 2006 July 02, 19:27:40 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

So, I have a brand new laptop, I start playing with my sims again, and I discover something cool, when my child sim pops out to a teenager a cool cinema shows in the screen.
I didnt know that, cause on my old computer didnt show them.

Anyway, in which other events those things appear?

From what I can remember, they occur for:
  • First kiss
  • First woohoo
  • Engagement
  • Marriage (at wedding arch)
  • Teen enters University (TS2:University required)
  • Graduation (if you throw a party) (TS2:University required)
  • Sims move into new house
  • Alien abduction
  • Childbirth
  • Age transition (if you hold a birthday party, apparently)

  • Death by old age (I'm not sure about this one)
  • Childbirth

There is no cut scene for death by old age.  I would add to this list: age transition if it happens during a birthday party.

Also, First Kiss only happens if you instruct them to have their first kiss.  If they have it autoomously, you don't get it, although for some reason you do get the woo-hoo one when they woo-hoo autonomously.  Just as well, otherwise I wouldn't know who was up to what when I'm not looking.

 My sims seldom die of natural causes, but I do remember having Grim and the HUla Zombies show up when one of my platinum oldsters died.

Yea, they show up, but not as a 'full screen cinematic' like the others.

Don't forget Hot-Tub Woohoo. You'll get that one even if they've alreayd woo-hoo'd in bed.

I'm a sucker for the cut scenes. Even if I've seen them a hundred times, I want to see them again. I especially like the Sim Moving Into College one. I'm always amused by which parent gets to drop them off.

Sims woo-hoo autonomously?  I didn't know that they would do that.

Only with hacks, like LizzLove's Love Bed (found over on MTS2) or the new version of Casual Romance TwoJeffs is testing now.

You can turn them on or off in game or graphics options.  I forget which.  The original install sets them to whatever it thinks your PC can handle, so your new one is obviously better!    I turn them off.  They are annoying and you can't take a photo for the album because of the stupid cut scene you've seen n million times before.

And the one for the whoohoo in bed, is also for the first whoohoo with each sim.

So if you have a romance sim and they want to whoohoo with 20 sims, then you have to watch that cutscene 20 times. (Unless of course you whoohoo with them somewhere else)

See, this is why I'm a dork. I still love seeing each cut scene, even though I've seen it a gazillion times before. I get all bouncy when the abduction cut scene starts.

That and the entering college ones are my favorite.

I love that with the entering college one, you have a random crazy go running by and the parent shakes her head in dismay while the new college student laughs. Then when the college student graduates, he leaves and another crazy goes running by, and this time he shakes his head in dismay.

Yup. It zooms in to the taxi cab and shows the family on the curb.

That one is by far the most annoying and lame, because that's when you need to stop everyone from running amok! Particularly noticeable in CAS families, which immediately begin slapping each other before the cutscene is even over.

Perhaps it's no wonder why Maxis has completely skipped adding cutscenes to Nightlife and OFB part 1 and OFB part 2 (FFS).

I just got a new computer that lets me see cutscenes, and I have to agree with JM on this one.  I had one of my sims go into aspiration failure within minutes of being put on the lot because her husband told her a dirty joke, which lowered their relationship and caused them to fall out of love.  Which was one of her fears. Oy.

The moment I plonk down a new empty lot, I enter it, set Free Will to Off, save and exit. Takes care of the moved in cutscene annoyance.

I've never had a CAS family melt down like that during the cutscene before, but I do wish I could turn just that one off.

Doesn't quite help entirely: If your sim is a vampire, he'll be dead before that cutscene ends. The college move-in cutscene is another lethal killer.
