I invite you to give your opinion...


Hello everyone! I know I don't always have to go by opinions, but I feel that maybe this time I would like to read them to maybe improve things and give you a better service.

Lately I have received some opinions from former members (not very detailed opinions, but blunt at the same time) saying that my content is not what it used to be, that it's kind of disappointing and that what I post is useless kjashdkasjhdkjas

I must admit that I felt a bit sad, but then I thought that instead of having a bout of depression lol, I wanted to act a bit more mature and ask you all if there is anything you would like me to improve or add to the site.

I know many of you are happy because you're already here and you don't know how happy I am. We have reached +100 members several times, something unimaginable for me as I don't consider myself as talented and creative as other creators. 

But if there is something you would like to comment, something I could add or improve, I'm open.

It'll also be directed to non-subscribers. If you want to say something or insult me lol do it(?

I'm going to piggy back off of Siri Sims Studio. I think it's a coo idea with the packs. And perhaps personality trait animations? I honestly love the idle animations or the animations with expressions. Especially if Sim A is talking to Sim B; Sim B can have expressions on their face. I hope this helps. But I think the animations that involve props are great. You made one for me that involved a sim sitting down sipping coffee and talking but I wanted her to look down as she talked. It was great!

Honestly, you're one of my favorite animation creators. I always love the animations you make. One of my favorite packs you made was the bus animation you created ages ago. I kind of want a simple theme like that, such as a school lunch break pack, a museum pack, a camping pack, a psychopath pack, or something similar. Because most of the time, I see animations first, and then I start thinking about the scenarios, if that makes sense? Lol.

I honestly feel that your animations has evolved since you started. I really enjoy the facial expressions and cool scenarios that you give. I think you're fine, really. I wouldn't pay attention to negative comments. I'd focus on suggestions that are more positive and constructive. I haven't read the emails but sadly we have a lot of bullies online. You're talented, I would just get inspired and do what I love. Always been a fan. :) If you ever need ideas, let me know. I have sooo many as you already know since I like writing. I enjoy your romantic and dramatic animations. I hope this helps! Have a great season!

Yeah for that reason I have made this post in order to receive constructive criticism, suggestions and so on 馃槉 Honestly, I have thousands of ideas to make BUT I feel that few of them are useful for you all. Unlike other creators, I don't usually have that talent of coming up with ideas as good as saying "damn, I need to use this animation all the time". My animations are more in the casual mode for specific moments in 1/2 times (at least I get that feeling when I watch sims series or when I film 馃ぃ). But I really appreciate your words and knowing that I'm on the right track regardless! And of course I'm always open to ideas even if I manage to respond a little late. Thank you!!

Hello! First I think like everyone here, i'm very thankful for you and your art and dedication. You have an incredible range of animations and it's very useful. Especially for specific story telling or moment. My only issues with some animations is that they are not a loop, so and sometimes they end very abruptly, the animation usually is between 4sec to 7sec and when you film (like i am filming long stories) it's not very easy to film, because if it's an action and there is no end to the animation; so it's hard to use it well and know what to do to continue after this animation. But I also know that loop animations are not the easiest and probably also take more time and can't be made every time. For some your talking animation, I always use the listening because generally the expression and pose is so good and useful, but I can't use the talking one because the mouth get very deformed and very fast ( but it's because I have very realistic and alpha sims, so I like them the most human and natural possible) and the talking animations are usually a little too exaggerated for me, which is really sad because I always love the diversity of pose and emotions you use. For that I know that there is different ways on blender to make the mouth make different sound or not, but that also depends on the rig you use and addon! But that is very personal taste and just because I use a style that don't really allow cartoony animation. But I think your animations are very VERY useful to the community, that you post a lot every month, more than most of other creators. You have totally your place and do very different things that not other creators do and that are life saving. You also do personal commission, and that's a lot of work. You work and do a lot.

As you said, I can't always make loop animations, personally when it comes to actions I don't like it very much. But I'll take into account the ending! Regarding the other thing, unfortunately I said many times that making talking animations was never my strong point and sometimes I want to avoid it because there are already too many animations like that and they don't give me pleasure make them. I think I'll temporarily stop doing this style of animation and dedicate myself only to idle animations of any kind, at least until I improve and not make them as horrible as you said 馃槀 Thanks for your opinion!

I personally LOVE your animations and I can tell how much work and time you put into them, if I was to give an opinion all I would say is I miss when you would release large packs of fairly random actions lol I guess like every day natural random actions if that makes any sense but I also know how time consuming and draining that can be as well so again I love your current work but I think more random action type animations may keep things interesting. Or maybe animations dedicated to a certain pack like a werewolf animation pack or high school animation pack etc. 馃挏馃挏馃挏

Yes, I honestly miss making large packs too. My time and ideas have decreased over the years, but I'll try to improve on that, thank you! 鉂わ笍

I think you do an excellent job the majority of the time. However, I do think the animations you make are quite similar to the ones that others make. It might be a cool idea to push yourself to create animations that we don't have a lot of. People at their jobs (waiter, cashier, police officer, firefighter, etc.), fight scenes, weapons scenes, magical scenes. Basically, I think it would be an excellent idea to try and create animations that cater to specific niches. And that's not saying you can't create the animations you do now if you still enjoy them. Maybe you could alternate what kind of animations you release each month. But of course, this is just an idea, and if you enjoy what you're creating then you should continue doing that. <333

Well, almost every month I do a poll asking about themes and ideas and almost the vast majority always vote for romantic animations. Even this month it was the winning option. Of course I'll take your opinion into account and I value it very much!! I don't know what you voted in the polls all these months, just that if you or others want something different, you can always say so! 馃槉
