Sims 4 - the Gaki roomates

I started The Sims 4 for the lols.
I tried to create the Gaki crew as roomates.

They all have different personality.
Matsumoto the genius, Hamada the evil bad man, Tanaka the dirty clumsy good man, Tsukitei the childish and Endo the lover.

They are all gonna live together in the Gaki’s house and will all work as comedian entertainer. :rock:

here they are:

Can you guess who is who?

Tell me if you interest by knowing what will happen, so i will keep this thread up to date.

Of course we are going to be interested in this!! Actually I was thinking to do the same thing, since one guy made Tanaka for the Sims 4 in Reddit, but now that you’re doing it, it will be better :rofl: :rofl: Let’s wait to see Hamada cheating in the Sims :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I’m interested on how these 5 will behave. :D

Yeah. And btw, we need more; Heipo, Suga, Komu, Onuma…CHIAKI!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :inlove:

I tried to search in the gallery if someone made them but did not find any.
Do you remember the reddit page you found Tanaka?

I would interested to see if it’s better than mine.
The hardest was Hamada and Endo.

[url:21trl4an]http://imgur.com/a/pBgKx[/url:21trl4an] I think I can do better, but in the Sims 3. It has more tools for face shape and stuff

Now I want to play The Sims 3, but with a way better PC than the one I have. :(

Ohh man, that’s awesome! I’ve been watching people play The Sims 4 on Twitch and thinking about just this thing. They look great! And I think your Tanaka is very fitting with the longer hair.
I don’t know if you’d be up for it but I think it’d be awesome to see a Youtube or Twitch series with funny commentary of all these guys under one roof. Spamfish’s Sims 4 streams have been hilarious to watch for me for the commentary he adds, a few highlights are on their profile for examples: http://www.twitch.tv/spamfish/profile
If you can’t do video maybe start a Tumblr and do GIF highlights. If you need help on how to do GIFS I can give some tips.

Either way great idea and definitely interested in their antics. :)

Interesting! If you have time, maybe you can post some videos?
I’m still not sure whether to get Sims 4, but I’m having fun watching the online videos!
I’m sticking to playing Sims 3 for now(with the mods)

I don’t mind stream it on twitch, but you know my english isn’t very good, specialy my pronounce.
So, I rather prefere write in the chat instead of speak english on the live.

How about a Tumblr GIF blog then? ;)
If you’re not sure how just let me know and I’ll PM you when I get a chance to write some step-by-step instructions.

Yes for the tumblr, good idea. I still will try to stream too, becoz i myself like to watch it.

About the Gif, I know a way but it’s little annoying, i’m interested by your way to see if it’s better than mine. When you have time you can write your steps by steps here , maybe it can help others peoples too.
Do you know a tumblr with sims gift? So i can see how they present it.

I just made them their house. It’s so horrible haha, but only 25,000€ to make a home with 5 bedrooms.
I still did not started the game.

On the floor? e.e

Haha Housei can have a kids bunkbed in the hallway for now :rofl: Sims tend to nick each others beds though and go to whichever is closest until they get into a routine I think.

You’ve made Hamada an evil trickster and Housei gullible right? I imagine Housei will fall for the buzzer handshake prank everytime :lol:

For occupations if available I think Matsumoto: Film Maker, Hamada: Criminal, Housei: Musician, Tanaka: Natural Scientist or something else to do with Animals/Insects, Endo: Something Atheltic or simply a Slacker who goes around hitting on every woman he can find. :rofl:

[hide:2g6650ws][color=#4000BF:2g6650ws][size=150:2g6650ws][b:2g6650ws]Step 1: Record the Game[/b:2g6650ws][/size:2g6650ws][/color:2g6650ws]

First you'll need to record the game which if you're already up for Twitch, you probably know how. [url=http://obsproject.com/:2g6650ws][b:2g6650ws]OBS software[/b:2g6650ws][/url:2g6650ws] is free and good for game capture and streaming. It's pretty easy to pick up and use.

[color=#4000BF:2g6650ws][size=150:2g6650ws][b:2g6650ws]Step 2: Create Highlights[/b:2g6650ws][/size:2g6650ws][/color:2g6650ws]

[b:2g6650ws][color=#BF0080:2g6650ws]Online with Twitch[/color:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws]
When you're done playing pick out brief highlights from the recording. Twitch does have an option to make highlights from past broadcasts. Then you can use a video downloader to grab it (maybe JDownloader or some browser add-on). I think you may be able to even export Twitch highlights to Youtube (which is the easiest video site to grab videos from).

[b:2g6650ws][color=#BF0080:2g6650ws]Offline[/color:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws]
Alternatively you can make video clips from a recording on your PC using video editing software. [b:2g6650ws]Windows Movie Maker[/b:2g6650ws] is easy to use but it re-encodes so it can be slow or reduce quality. [url=http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/:2g6650ws][b:2g6650ws]Avidemux[/b:2g6650ws][/url:2g6650ws] doesn't re-encode so is fast and retains quality. Some steps:
[list:2g6650ws][:2g6650ws] Drag and drop the video file into the open Avidemux window. If a message comes up about "h.264 detected" I just say "No" but not exactly sure what its all about hah. Same for "Index not up to date"[/:m:2g6650ws]
[:2g6650ws] Across the bottom are video controls. Use the blue ">>" and "<<" buttons to go back and forth between keyframes. When you've found the start of a bit you want to highlight click the red "[A" button. Keep scanning forward until you get to the end of the highlight and press the "B]" button. This selects just part of the video.[/:m:2g6650ws]
[:2g6650ws] Don't bother changing any of the settings for Video, Audio or Format. Just hit Ctrl+S to save the video clip. Alternatively the top floppy disc looking icon on the left does "Save Video" and you can also find Save options in the File menu.[/:m:2g6650ws][/list:u:2g6650ws]

[b:2g6650ws][size=150:2g6650ws][color=#4000BF:2g6650ws]Step 3: Convert to a GIF[/color:2g6650ws][/size:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws]

[list:2g6650ws][:2g6650ws] Get [url=http://www.video-gif-converter.com/:2g6650ws][b:2g6650ws]Free Video to GIF Converter[/b:2g6650ws][/url:2g6650ws] and open the video clip you made. For settings I usually go with 5 ~ 8 frames per second. You can set it to capture the whole clip or just part of it if you want to split it up into a set of GIFs. Personally for Width/Height at this stage I keep it large and just crop it with other tools later though, with the Sims theres lots of wasted space for menus etc. you can crop out.[/:m:2g6650ws]
[:2g6650ws] Press Next and wait, you'll get a list of frames and a preview. You can click on a frame or hit the < and > buttons to look through and hit Remove to delete unecessary frames e.g.they're just standing around at the start doing nothing. For best results for filesize I think keeping it under 60 total frames is best, preferably 40~50.[/:m:2g6650ws]
[:2g6650ws] Unless I want a slow motion effect or speed up I keep the Play Speed "same as source". I also change Color Matching to "Excellent", this makes the fileseize larger but so long as you don't have too many frames and crop it down it should be OK.[/:m:2g6650ws][/list:u:2g6650ws]

[b:2g6650ws][color=#BF0040:2g6650ws]Note:[/color:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws] Sadly there's no Undo button for Remove frame, so you have to Reload all frames back if you make a mistake :\ There's tons of other Video to GIF software, or you can do it all in GIMP/Photoshop image editors but I still like this software because it's so simplified.

[b:2g6650ws][size=150:2g6650ws][color=#4000BF:2g6650ws]Step 4: Crop the GIF[/color:2g6650ws][/size:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws]

[b:2g6650ws][color=#BF0080:2g6650ws]Simple Cropping[/color:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws]
When I first started I used this simple site to crop GIFs (until I got to grips with GIFs in Photoshop). It also has options for adding text etc. Though it's pretty basic in terms of style.

http://www.online-image-editor.com/

[b:2g6650ws][color=#BF0080:2g6650ws]Dimensions & Filesize[/color:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws]
You'll want the width to be max 500px if it's a single GIF. If it's a sequence of GIFs then they'll need to be max 245px each. Here's an image explaining:
[img:2g6650ws]http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m196u5A9V41qc0y0r.jpg[/img:2g6650ws]

For filesize keep the 500px ones under 1mb by cropping down the height as much as possible. The smaller 245px ones can go up to 2mb, I usually make them around 180~190px high.

[b:2g6650ws][color=#BF0080:2g6650ws]Fancier Stuff[/color:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws]
If you want to do fancier stuff with the color, saturation, text and such then you'll need image editing software like GIMP (free) or Photoshop. I'm not overly familiar with GIMP but there are various tutorial videos or sites:

[b:2g6650ws][size=150:2g6650ws][color=#4000BF:2g6650ws]Step 5: Upload to Tumblr[/color:2g6650ws][/size:2g6650ws][/b:2g6650ws]

[list:2g6650ws]
[:2g6650ws] After creating an account go to your Dashboard ( https://www.tumblr.com/dashboard ) and select the Photo button.[/:m:2g6650ws]
[:2g6650ws] Select your GIF images, you can even just drag them from your computer onto the Tumblr upload window. Click and drag the photos around to arrange them in a sequence.[/:m:2g6650ws]
[:2g6650ws] Add a caption if you like. Below that is a little narrow box for tags.[/:m:2g6650ws][/list:u:2g6650ws]
Note: Tumblr only counts the first 5 tags for the site search, so use them for key words like gaki no tsukai, sims 4, sims and maybe the names of whoever is the main focus of the GIF e.g. matsumoto hitoshi, tanaka naoki. Any tags beyond that you can use for organizations sake e.g. I have a tag for "amateursub" on my blog and link to that on my side menu with "tagged/amateursub".

For the style of the blog, you can use an existing theme to start with and edit it as you go: https://www.tumblr.com/themes/[/hide:2g6650ws]

I just did upload 2 images for now, it’s only the first day in the [i:3ve0dogy]Residence Gaki[/i:3ve0dogy] (Or Gaki’s Residence?) and Hosei is already a poor ignored man.

ps: I will manage the design tomorrow.
