User blog:Jdnow/Just a small filler for the time being (Tips if you're using sims for a game like KSJW)

Just a little filler for KSJW ep 2. It's a little bit of a nightmare to manage. I can't access the file where the main game is, so you might have thought i am out of luck and i have to delay the episode. but nope! i'm a bit of an old hand for sims gameshows. so last night, i was armed with an Xbox One, A wireless Keyboard and Mouse(fun fact, i just CANNOT sims with a controller. only a keyboard and mouse. thankfully an update allowed keyboard and mouse support for sims, and an earlier one for xbox allowed it in general along side a razor keyboard! but my wireless Logitech office keyboard and mouse works just fine), and a physical copy of Sims 4 for episode 2. So, let's see how you, a person, can manage gameshows on the sims. I learned all this 2nd hand from former youtuber 8bitdylan. then used the knowledge for sims 3 game shows, and later, sims 4 ToS clone and KSJW.

Preparation
You will need:
 * The PC version of the Sims 4. Xbox One or PS4 won't work due to them not supporting mods. we need to have mod access for this. You can use any copy if you're going for 8 or less sims.

 * The Full House mod. This will allow you to exceed the 8 Sim limit on households. Although, it's optional if you're using 8 or less Sims in your household.(link-http://modthesims.info/d/536556/full-house-mod-increase-your-household-size-still-compatible-as-of-1-25-18.html )
 * OPTIONAL:DLC. There are a wide variety of DLC and CC for sims 4. You don't need them. But hey! If you wanna add more stuff, go for it!

General IG stuff

 * There is one tab you'll need to keep your eyes on at all times. Relationships. They determine who votes for who. Let me use an example. Bella Goth is 45% through the relationship meter with Bob Pancakes, who is 52% through his relationship meter with Malcolm Landgraab. Who in turn has 75% with Bella. It's the voting phase. The lowest relationship gets a vote if they are up. For this example, let's assume they all lost a challenge and they are all up for the vote. Here's how they play out.

Bob votes for Bella

Bella votes for Bob

Malcom votes for Bob.

Bob has the most amount of votes and thus is eliminated.


 * DO NOT CONTROL YOUR SIMS! What i mean by this is clicking on an action for your sim to do. Instead, let them do their own thing. Competitions for game shows are OK. But use relationships for the challenge phase and voting phase! The only other time is when a need (like bladder) is really low. Otherwise, DONT MESS WITH YOUR SIMS!
 * AVOID ITEMS THAT HELP BOOST RELATIONSHIPS FASTER! They can interfere with votes!

DOs

 * Experiment! You aren't restricted to just is already done!
 * Try out other Sims games! Who knows? Maybe you can pull it off in Sims Medieval or the original Sims!
 * Allow feedback! Maybe you think you did something wrong. Maybe you're thinking about a twist. Ask for feedback!

DONTs

 * Attempt to go without a guide. They can help you. And nothing can help you more than the place you got the mod!
 * Avoid sharing results. Tell the world! even if it's just a blog post!
 * Kill your sims. Works for DR or Hunger Games, Not so much for Survivor or Big Brother.

Final Notes
It may be intimidating to do this. But don't worry. It's nothing to hard. Also, I prefer to self build my own house or play in Newscrest. Mainly because of Welcome Wagon. Which is a game event when you move in. When triggered, neighbors will come in an meet your household for the first time.

KSJW episode 2 will be coming out soon. i had 2 people take control of their computer players. TLHP and Oslo.
