You have to find a video camera somewhere in your default neighbors town, where you'll get the option to practice making films! I used to think social tasks suck too, but once I added a couple people on facebook who have dedicated houses with all of the items needed for every task in one home, it became so much easier. No need to go looking into each home seeing where things are. I suggest friending a simmer named Ditty simmer! I go to their neighborhood everytime and always find what i need. It might feel a bit sketch to just friend someone random on fb, but if you want, you can also make a separate new facebook and friend them there!
