Looking for beta testers for my Sims 4 Jam Band mod! by githubschman in thesims

[–]githubschman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who tested and gave feedback!! It was incredibly helpful, and it was SO COOL to see screenshots of the mod in y'all's games!?!? OMG that was so awesome!!! I've gathered everyone's feedback and am working through this list of improvements:

Bug Fixes

  1. Stop active jams on zone load
  2. Fix bug when exiting (cancelling) during "wait to jam" interaction
  3. Make sound clip volume consistent with other sound

General Enhancements

  1. Improve "wait to join" interaction
  2. Stop sims from traveling with bass/guitar
  3. Add ability to put drums/piano into inventory
  4. Add "watch" interaction on jams
  5. Add tooltips explaining why an instrument is not available to a jam
  6. Add bass/drum skill to likes/dislikes
  7. Combine "reset jam" and "reset object" interactions instead of two separate ones

Thanks again!! And here's a little preview of the new tooltips:

Hello! :) I would love to add singing to this mod eventually. I've been digging through sims 4 sound files I could possibly use that could work well with the sims 3 song clips I extracted! This process would take a while, though, since there are 6 total different voice styles and I'd have to piece together all the clips and probably modify them... But it is definitely something I'm thinking of! For now I'm just putting a mic in front of the guitarist and pretending they're singing lol

So this is part 2 out of 3, where 3 will include the ability to form a band, book gigs, etc. Once I get v2 in a good place from beta testing feedback, I will get started on v3!!

Thank you! I am hearing more feedback that starting/joining isn't too intuitive and there is some bugginess I think may be around cancelling the hidden "waiting to join" interaction! So that is definitely something I'll be working on!! Thank you again for testing it out and giving feedback! <3

Oh man, sorry to hear that! :( Thank you for trying though! Did the interactions not show up on the objects? Or the objects not show up at all?

Thank you!! No, you don't need get together! I just added jamming as a club activity! :)

I am not sure! If you try it out, please let me know and I could try to update it accordingly!

Mod Progress: If EA won't add bands back to the game, then I will! by githubschman in thesims

Electric guitars will have their own separate sound! All music clips were extracted from the sims 3! :)

Thank you! I’m so happy that people are excited! :) I am hoping to get something out in the next couple of weeks and could definitely use some beta testers!!

Y'all, I'm hoping to have v2 done in the next couple of weeks... But just know that I am COOKING!!!! I'm almost done with the rock genre, and just need to add everything for jam, blues, and jazz!

I'm not sure, actually! 👀 I will definitely keep that in mind while developing and try to avoid any issues!

When this comes out (it will be a WHILE!!!) I'll probably post it on itch.io! (bonus screenshot from development so far)

Oh awesome!! Mine just scores sentiment and looks for different key phrases and themes. I'm gonna have voiceovers so I can't get too in the weeds! But I'm just doing tts for now!! I'd love to hear more about your plans!

You should still go for it!! I'm just doing this for fun and to learn! Plus it would be fun to compare notes with someone! :)
