Mesa Vista Special Featurette: first glimpse of college (and my first Sims 2 video!)

[lorinsv60]

Nicole Outside breakdancing at La Fiesta Tech with her sister Mina looking on.

The video is a little rough, but I'm happy with it and making it was a lot of fun.

Aww, that was cute! :) And kind of funny too. I haven't seen a sim break dance before, maybe I should try it some time.

Thanks! Breakdancing is new to me as well, I only found out about it last week.

A rather humorous video. Breakdancing in Sims 2 seems just kinda wonky to me. Some moves just look weird (puffy chest and broken arm namely), but a spiffy little video. :)

Yeah, I saw some breakdancing snapshots and immediately wanted to make a video of it. And yeah, it's supposed to be just a lighthearted little thing, I'm glad you saw the humor in it. :)

I love the breakdance animation! And yay for Mesa Vista having a uni!!

Thanks!

It actually looks less like she's breakdancing and more like she's liquid dancing! You should look it up if you've never seen it, it's pretty awesome. :)

Very cute video!

Thank you :) I was rather surprised there weren't backflips and spinning on the ground, so the liquid dancing makes more sense. I had never heard of it, so thanks for the tip!

I've never actually seen this happen naturally in-game before, only through the use of poseboxes! It's definitely a bit weird! Where did she learn to do it?

There's a breakdancing mat available only in the community lot catalog under the Games tab (the fire dance one is there too). Place it on a community lot and it spawns a breakdancer when your Sim visits that lot. Click on the breakdancer and there's an option to learn how to breakdance for $75. After your Sim learns to breakdance, there's an option to breakdance on your Sim's self menu.

Yes, weird, but funny in that "doesn't take itself too seriously" Sims kind of way.

So cute :) I love how the three secret society chicks were so impressed, I expect she was abducted after such a performance!

Thank you! :)
