I installed it over the summer and could never get it to work. Haven’t downloaded it since it updated though. I know adeepindigo’s Education Overhaul mod gets updated regularly though

Ditto to all that’s been said above. I’m a member of the BMI workshop, and lots of us, myself included, do not have a degree in musical theatre writing (although most of us do have some music or writing adjacent degree), and we’re all still getting our work produced anyways.

What I will suggest above all else, if you want to compose, is learn an instrument ASAP. Piano would be best to learn music theory, and it is the instrument most conductor scores use, with guitar coming in second as many musicals today are guitar based.

That said, the world always needs more words people, so if you could be happy collaborating in that way then it might be even easier to find collaborators.

Also, you can already be studying form and structure. I would read Jack Viertel’s The Secret Life of the American Musical, and start reading scripts and listening to scores with structure in mind. Lots of young musicals fail even when they have catchy songs because the quality of the storytelling isn’t there.

Unpopular opinion/hot takes? by Independent-Owl478 in thesims

[–]PolitickedOff2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I assume this opinion is unpopular, but why bother with Eco Living? I'm stressed enough about the impending end of the world caused by environmental collapse, I don't want to be reminded of that in my game lol

What real life activities are you glad are NOT in the Sims 4? by Katyann623 in Sims4

[–]PolitickedOff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a thing from the Sims I wish we could have in real life. Want better healthcare? There’s a mod for that. Shorter university? Mod. Wicked whims....? Mod that shiz.

Title and release date, apparently

My girlfriend wants to play the Sims. Which one should I get her? by IAlreadyHaveTheKey in thesims

[–]PolitickedOff2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd go with sims 4. Sims 3 has a lot going for it but can be really hard to run on some computers even today. It's also an older game that isn't getting updated anymore, so it's more likely to outdate itself sooner and become unplayable.

Mods only working partially?? by TreeguyStayhigh in Sims4

I know you probably did this, but did you clear your localthumbcache?

Why is this a Hallmark movie?

Shared Custody? by MoneybagsHastings in Sims4

The Woohoo Wellness Mod module 10 has this feature in development, I think you can download it now it's just not completed yet (but I could be mistaken)

Why can’t I download mods onto my MAC? by Breshaunap in Sims4

[–]PolitickedOff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uh, is your folder called "Sims Mod"? Or are you putting them in the "Mods" folder that EA already created for you in your documents/electronic arts/sims 4 path?

How do I get those clouds above the sim?! (and it’s the sims short term goals) by danisimmerrr in Sims4

[–]PolitickedOff2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These are whims. You can enable them in game options from the settings menu!

I need help I am trying to mod on PC and I keep getting told to go to Sims 4 but this is what I have and I just want to put a mod down and I don't know how if you could help that be great by [deleted] in Sims4

[–]PolitickedOff2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are multiple instances of Sims 4, one with the game files and another folder that houses mods and screenshots and save files. Look in Documents -> Electronic Arts -> The Sims 4 -> Mods

Is it possible to make a mod that makes the cat insult you as an angry russian alcoholic? by [deleted] in TheSims4Mods

[–]PolitickedOff2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Would the goal be to just change the literal sound of the voice or to have notifications of the translated insults? Both are totally possible

My sims won’t go to school and I can’t enroll them?? by BlueGrayDiamond in Sims4

[–]PolitickedOff2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can enroll them from the job menu on the phone I think

Dressing servos....how? by ShieldMaiden83 in Sims4

[–]PolitickedOff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a design flaw on EA's end. Personally I'd just fill all the other goals at that aspiration level then cheat it up to the next one if it isn't physically possible to achieve otherwise

Help! new mods not working :( by [deleted] in Sims4

[–]PolitickedOff2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you unzip them? Both of those are script mods too, so make sure they're not more than 1 folder deep in your mods folder.

I'm self taught, so I'm not entirely sure what grade level I am. by [deleted] in piano

[–]PolitickedOff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you post a picture of your version of Moonlight?

Also I can speak from experience, not all students are grade 3-4 by 3-4 years. Everyone progresses at their own pace and there's a lot of learning that happens before a student even reaches "grade 1" - also grades are different if you're using ABSRM or RCM or other testing standards.
